Filter by:Activating somatic mutations and methylation profiles identified by liquid biopsies could identify CDH1 and CTNNA1 pathogenic variants carriers with invasive diffuse gastric cancer undetectable by upper G-I endoscopy.
For locally advanced gastric cancer (cT3-4aN+M0), neoadjuvant chemotherapy can downstage T and N stage, increase the resectability of tumor, and finally improve the long-term survival. Combination of perioperative PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer could be a novel therapy to increase response rate and resectability and reduce recurrence rate. JS001 in this study is a Chinese anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for injection which has been approved for melanoma. This study is a multi-center, open-label, randomized phase II clinical trial to evaluate tolerability, safety and efficacy of JS001 in combination with perioperative chemotherapy in locally advanced gastric cancer.
Through previous clinical observations and literature, we found that the incidence of gallstones in patients after gastric cancer radical resection was significantly higher than that in the normal population (4%). However, its pathogenesis has not been clarified. We compare the risk of gallbladder stones after four different radical gastric cancer surgical methods, in order to provide prevention and treatment strategies for people with gallstones after gastric cancer.
This study is an open-label, single arm, phase II trial the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab + CapeOx (HER2 negative ARM) or pembrolizumab + Trastuzumab + Capecitabine/Cisplatin (HER2 positive ARM) as first line therapy in advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.
This phase III trial studies how well the addition of radiotherapy to the usual treatment (chemotherapy) works compared to the usual treatment alone in treating patients with esophageal and gastric cancer that has spread to a limited number of other places in the body (oligometastatic disease). Radiotherapy uses high energy x-rays, gamma rays, or protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in usual chemotherapy, such as leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Adding radiotherapy to the usual chemotherapy may work better compared to the usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with esophageal and gastric cancer.
A multicenter open-label phase 1/1b study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of SO-C101 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with selected advanced/metastatic solid tumors
The overarching aim of the programme 'Stimulating evidence based, personalized and tailored information provision to improve decision making after oesophagogastric cancer diagnosis' (SOURCE) is to provide oesophagogastric cancer patients at all disease stages with evidence based and personalized information about survival, treatment-related side-effects and/or complications and health related quality of life, tailored to patients' specific information needs, to facilitate informed decision making about treatment and thereby optimize personal care and outcomes. For this purpose the Source tool and training were designed. The Source tool is a prediction model based website to be used by care givers for informing patients about the outcomes of treatment. The Source training for care givers is designed to learn care givers how to inform patients effectively, especially about the outcomes of treatment.
Prophylactic use of anastomotic drain in upper gastrointestinal surgery has been questioned in the last 15 years but only small studies have been conducted. In 2015 a Cochrane meta analysis on four Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) concluded that there was no convincing evidence to the routine drain placement in gastrectomy. Nevertheless the Authors evidenced the moderate/low methodological quality of the included studies and highlighted how 3 out of four came from Eastern countries. Despite the above mentioned limits, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) society published the guidelines for gastrectomy that strongly recommend, with high evidence level, to avoid routine use of drain in gastric surgery. After 2015 some other retrospective studies have been published, all with inconsistent results. Our objective is to perform a multicentre prospective trial in a large western cohort of patients to establish wether avoid routine use of anastomotic drain does not led to an increasing of postoperative invasive procedure.
Prehabilitation has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to improve outcomes in patients undergoing some of the abdominal operations. It may increase the physical capacity of the patient, improve postoperative quality of life and even decrease the postoperative morbidity. Currently, the most effective strategy seems to be a trimodal prehabilitation which includes: 1) Nutritional support 2) Psychological support and 3) Physical training.
A total of 297 subjects are estimated to enroll in the study, with 15 eligible subjects enrolled in the 1st stage at most and 282 evaluable subjects in the 2nd stage. All subjects are adult patients with age over 18-year-old; they must be diagnosed with recurrent or metastatic gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis at the time of enrollment; and failed at least prior two standard systemic anti-cancer therapies for recurrent or metastatic gastric cancer, before enrollment. In the first stage, pharmacokinetic characteristics and preliminary safety of catumaxomab will be explored in Asian patients with gastric cancer ; in Cohort A, the enrolled subjects will receive the first infusion at 10μg on day 1, which will be increased to 20 μg, 50 μg and 150 μg on days 4, 8 and 11, respectively. 42 days are defined as a cycle. From the second cycle, catumaxomab will be changed to 20 μg, 50 μg, 150 μg on days 1, 4, 8 respectively. In Cohort B, 28 days are defined as a cycle. It is estimated to enroll 6 subjects in each cohort first. In the second stage, approximate 282 subjects who meet the enrollment criteria are randomized into either catumaxomab infusion group (catumaxomab group) or treatment of investigator choice group (IC group), at a ratio of 2:1. Subjects at the first and second stages will continue the treatment until one of the following conditions occurs:1)Significant progression of tumor lesions, including but not limited to peritoneal metastases lesions and/or ascites; 2)Intolerable toxicity; 3)The investigator believes that patients need to withdraw from the study and receive other treatment;4)death;5)Withdrawal of informed consent.
