Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

This study was planned to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy of Immuncell-LC and nivolumab in patients with relapsed or advanced gastric adenocarcinoma or gastro-esophageal junction cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug known as KH903 in participants with gastric and gastroesophageal cance

Treatment, Prospective, Assignment, Open Label, Single-center, Non-randomized Study An exploratory clinical trial of comparison of Nab-Paclitaxel combined with Gemcitabine and Gemcitabine combined with Tegafur for adjuvant chemotherapy after radical resection of pancreatic cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine if nitrates and IL-8 (which are found in food and throughout the body regulating stomach acidity) play a role in Barrett's Esophagus and/or Esophageal Adenocarcinoma severity and if screening for these biomarkers can help predict patients that are more at risk for developing worsening disease.

The prospective, multicenter, single-arm design study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib for patients with advanced or metastatic biliary tract adenocarcinoma who failed first-line chemotherapy with gemcitabine, platinum/S-1, and albumin paclitaxel.

This study is evaluating stereotactic radiosurgery (CyberKnife) plus chemotherapy for the treatment of potentially resectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas

This is a non-randomized pauci-centre, open-label phase II study. The treatment will consist in a chemotherapy by FOLFOX and nab-paclitaxel following modalities determined in the Brown University Phase I study. In neoadjuvant setting : 3 months of treatment Main criteria of Withdraw of the treatment: in case of tumor progression, non acceptable toxicity, or patient decision. Post-operative treatment (for 6 additional cycles) is recommended, but will depend on the result of the neo-adjuvant treatment and the ability of patients to receive adjuvant chemotherapy based on tolerance of neo-adjuvant treatment and general post-operative condition (i.e. adjuvant treatment if no progression during neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, less than 80% of residual viable tumor compared to initial tumor volume, acceptable tolerance and post-operative PS 0 - 2). Adjuvant treatment must be initiated within 8 weeks post-operatively.

Perioperative chemotherapy is the gold standard treatment in the resectable and advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The efficacy of this strategy has been demonstrated in two randomized studies (1,2). It reduces tumour size before surgery, treats micrometastases and evaluates chemosensitivity. Disease free and overall survival rates were significantly improved with perioperative chemotherapy compared to surgery alone. However, the limitation of these studies is that among all patients requiring chemotherapy, almost 70% of patients will not have the complete sequence. This sequence is defined by the administration of 2 to 4 cycles before and 2 to 4 cycles after the surgery, according to the protocol. The major cause of absence or impossibility of realization of postoperative chemotherapy was the presence of postoperative complication, postoperative serious asthenia and impaired nutritional and physical status (1,2). Poor physical condition assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing, reflecting a reduced physiological reserve, is predictive of postoperative complications (3,4). A physical training, even during a short period and on a various population, is beneficial in improving physical condition, cardiopulmonary function and muscular mass of the patient (5-8). A prehabilitation over a 6 week period between surgical consultation and surgery decreases postoperative morbidity and the hospital stay in cardiovascular surgery but no study has ever been performed in the gastric or oesophageal cancer (7,9). Prehabilitation revolves around three axes: 1) a physical training based on initial cardiopulmonary exercise testing (VO2peak, anaerobic threshold (AT) and 6-min walk test (6MWT)), 3 times by week, supervised by a physical therapist 2) a nutritional care to ensure the compliance of the nutrition program and adapt the nutritional management based on protein and energy needs and on the level of spontaneous oral intake and 2) a psychological treatment by a psychologist to reduce preoperative anxiety. To our knowledge, no study ever focused on the gastroesophageal cancer. The benefit of prehabilitation in this cancer may be particularly important because 1) this surgery is associated with a high postoperative morbidity (40%, especially respiratory) and mortality (5%) 2) the physical and nutritional status of these patients is often precarious (cancer cachexia, gastroesophageal obstruction), and 3) the need to preoperative chemotherapy declines physical reserves and is associated with a lengthening of the time between consultation and surgery of more than 3 months (10). Also, the investigators hypothesize that with a physical training, a personalized nutritional support and a psychologist management may decrease postoperative complications, increase postoperative nutritional status and so, would allow for more patients to receive their full cancer treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, the effect of prehabilitation compared to conventional care, the percentage of patients reaching the complete oncological treatment decided in a multidisciplinary tumour board.
