Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

Four-drug combo yielded a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival and overall survival compared to gemcitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Nab-Paclitaxel showed promising antitumor activity in patients with pancreatic cancer. Given the synergism of taxanes with gemcitabine, fluoropyrimidines and platinating agents the role of nab-Paclitaxel in a 4-drug regimen will be explored. The aim of this trial is to determine the recommended dose of nab-paclitaxel in combination with cisplatin, capecitabine, and gemcitabine, PAXG regimen (Phase I), and to evaluate the feasibility and the activity of the PAXG regimen in patients with stage III and IV pancreatic cancer.

The study will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AUY922 given in combination with cetuximab in previously treated patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer.

Prospective randomized study comparing radiofrequency ablation and cryotherapy for the endoscopic treatment of Barrett's esophagus. The study is powered to assess clinical equivalence (non-inferior) of the treatment regimens.

Determine the relapse-free survival of resected pancreatic cancer patients following two novel regimens with activity in advanced disease.

Early stage diagnosis of gastric cancer has ensued different approaches in its resection strategies. In order to increase the proportion of cases that undergo radical resection and reduce the recurrence rate, different pre-operative treatments are introduced. Here, the investigators investigate an active preoperative chemotherapeutic regimen to in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.

In this trial, patients with histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or esophagogastric junction noneligible for surgery or chemoradiation with curative intent will be included. Primary objective is to determine the rate of improvement in dysphagia after palliative short course hypofractionated radiotherapy (5 x 4 Gy) followed by chemotherapy consisting of oxaliplatin and fluorouracil. The rate of improvement of dysphagia is evaluated by a 5 graded dysphagia score, and a positive change of at least 1 score is considered to be an improvement.

The primary objective of this trial is: To determine whether it is feasible in locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal cancer to administer 3 cycles of Docetaxel, Oxaliplatin and S-1 as a chemotherapy scheme and also to determine what toxicities are involved. The secondary objective of this trial are to describe: The disease free survival at one and two years in that subgroup of patients that has undergone a R0 resection. The downstaging after 3 cycles of chemotherapy, pCR in that subgroup of patients that have undergone an R0 resection and progression-free survival and overall survival at one and two years.

This multicentric prospective study evaluates the role of the margins resection and the ganglionic status when using a quality standard for the resection of adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas.

This prospective, randomized phase II study is designed to evaluate weather neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is superior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with both followed by surgery and postoperative chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma.

For many years, the treatment of jaundice due to head pancreatic adenocarcinoma is based on the endoscopic biliary stent. This technique has been shown to be preferable to a surgical shunt. Recently, adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX regimen (clinical trial) has revolutionized the treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma increasing overall survival in a major way. This design will also be developed in patients with neoadjuvant tumor called "borderline" (the limit of the resectability). However, several conditions (protocol) are required to consider the implementation of this design : age ≤ 75 years, PS 0 or 1, good hematological parameters and bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the ULN. In addition, a randomized study showed that preoperative biliary stent treatment, despite a success rate of 94%, is associated with more complications than surgery fast (related gesture bladder). It would be interesting to analyze, prospectively, the fate of a series of patients with cancer of the pancreatic head with compression of the lower part of the bile duct, PS 0 or 1 and for which the only limit to FOLFIRINOX design is jaundice or high risk of jaundice.
