Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

Peri-operative treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) has always been argued by eastern and western scholars. For patients with clinical stage of cT4b/N+M0, or cT4aN+M0, the prognosis is rather poor, and the primary lesions might not be resectable at the time of diagnosis. MAGIC study has showed that pre-and post-operative chemotherapy with 3 cycles of ECF has increased 13% on 5yOS compared with surgery alone; However, eastern studies such as ACTS GC or CLASSIC showed that TS-1 monotherapy or XELOX (oxaliplatin/capecitabine) combination given as adjuvant chemotherapy for stage II or III patients after D2 surgery could achieve the significant survival benefit. So whether perioperative or post operative therapy is more beneficial for LAGC patients lacks of data supported by prospective study. So in this prospective randomized phase III study, the investigators aim to compare the survival benefit as well as the safety for SOX (oxaliplatin/TS-1) as perioperative therapy versus SOX or XELOX as postoperative therapy after D2 dissection.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether bevacizumab, capecitabine and oxaliplatin are an effective and safe first line of treatment for elderly patients with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.

This randomized phase III trial studies pelvic radiation therapy to see how well it works compared with vaginal implant radiation therapy, paclitaxel, and carboplatin in treating patients with high-risk stage I or stage II endometrial cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Implant radiation therapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, 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. It is not yet known whether pelvic radiation therapy alone is more effective than vaginal implant radiation therapy, paclitaxel, and carboplatin in treating patients with endometrial cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Fluorouracil may make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Brachytherapy uses radioactive material, such as phosphorus P32, placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy and external-beam radiation therapy with brachytherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying fluorouracil, gemcitabine, external-beam radiation therapy, and brachytherapy using phosphorus P32 to see how well they work compared to fluorouracil, gemcitabine, and external-beam radiation therapy in treating patients with locally or regionally advanced unresectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (pancreatic cancer).

This early phase I trial studies how well abemaciclib and letrozole work in treating patients with endometrial cancer and determines whether there are changes in patients' cancer cell biomarkers (a genetic feature or specific protein) for cell growth before and after treatment. Antihormone therapy with aromatase inhibitors, such as letrozole, may lessen the amount of estrogen made by the body. Abemaciclib blocks the activities of a class of proteins called cyclin-dependent kinase, which are involved in cell duplication. Giving letrozole and abemaciclib together may slow down cancer cell growth in patients with endometrial cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of of anti-PD-1 antibody in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with unresectable, locally advanced recurrent or metastatic serum AFP-elevated gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

This is a prospective single arm phase II clinical study to compare the safety and efficacy of PD-1monoclonal antibody +FLOT in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma/esophagus-gastric junction adenocarcinoma.

To date no randomized controlled trials have been completed that demonstrated whether TACE(Transarterial chemoembolization) is an effective adjunct to systemic chemotherapy (target therapy) with respect to advantages in conversion resection rates and survival compared with chemotherapy (target therapy) alone for patients who failed with first-line chemotherapy.The primary objective of this trial is to determine conversion resection rates and survival for patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis are treated with TACE plus chemotherapy ± target therapy, compared to chemotherapy ± target therapy in the 2nd, and 3rd line.

Relapses free survival will be evaluated as efficacy of carbon ions radiation therapy released before surgery.

This study is the study of the combination of PEGPH20 and Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) for patients with previously treated Hyaluronan High (HA-high) metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This study is an interventional, unblinded, open label study. Approximately 35 subjects will be enrolled. The trial will require approximately a total of 18 months, including 12 months for enrollment, with an additional 6 months for patient follow-up, data collection and study closure. Each subject will participate in the trial from the time the subject signs the Informed Consent Form (ICF) through the final contact. After a screening phase of up to 21 days, eligible subjects will receive PEGPH20 beginning with Cycle 1 Day 1, on Days 1, 8 15 of every 3 week-cycles and pembrolizumab beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 (2-4 hrs after PEGPH20), every 3-week-cycles. Treatment with PEGPH20 and pembrolizumab will continue until progressive disease (PD), unacceptable adverse events (AEs), intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment, investigator's decision to withdraw the subject, subject withdraws consent, pregnancy of the subject, noncompliance with trial treatment or procedure requirements, subject receives 35 treatments (approximately 24 months) of pembrolizumab, or administrative reasons requiring cessation of treatment. Subjects who discontinue for reasons other than PD will have post-treatment follow-up for disease status until PD, initiating a non-study cancer treatment, withdrawing consent, or becoming lost to follow-up. All subjects will be followed by telephone for overall survival (OS) until death, withdrawal of consent, or the end of the study. After the end of treatment, each subject will be followed for 30 days for AE monitoring. Serious adverse events (SAE) and events of clinical interest (ECI) will be collected for 90 days after the end of treatment or for 30 days after the end of treatment if the subject initiates new anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier.
