Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

This phase II trial studies how well panitumumab and combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer previously treated with combination chemotherapy and bevacizumab. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and irinotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving panitumumab and combination chemotherapy together may kill more tumor cells

Target population:locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (LAGC, cT2~3/N+M0,or cT4aN+M0);no previous chemo or radio therapy. Primary objective:Response rate of XELOX in the neoadjuvant setting of LAGC. Secondary objectives: The progression free survival (PFS) in the perioperative treatment of locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (cT3/N+M0,or cT4aN+M0); percentage of pathological response ; percentage of grade 3 or 4 adverse events as safety profile of perioperative treatments; D2 resection -rate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy of XELOX; Overall survival; QOL during the whole period of treatment. Trial design:This is a multicenter, single arm, open-label, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Oxaliplatin plus capecitabine(XELOX) in the perioperative treatment of locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma in combination with D2 resection. Treatment plan:Patients will be given the perioperative chemotherapy as below once recruited:Schedule of Oxaliplatin plus capecitabine (XELOX) will be as follow: Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 ，bid,d 1~14 every 3 weeks(treatment for 2 weeks and rest 1 week)Oxaliplatin：130mg/m2， iv infusion over 2h，d1,every 3 weeks. Number of subjects:50 patients.Number of centers 5 sites, which have the high volume of gastric operations in China, more than 500 per year.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of autologous gp96 treatment of liver cancer and Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

To evaluate efficacy and safety of S-1 Oxaliplatin (SOX) regimen to patients with unresectable, metastatic or locally advanced biliary tract or ampullary adenocarcinoma.

The best treatment for resectable esophageal or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma is unknown. Although an operation to remove the esophagus is the most common treatment, previous studies have shown that patients live longer when either perioperative (before and after surgery) chemotherapy or preoperative (before surgery) chemotherapy plus radiation is given, compared to surgery alone. However it is unknown which of these treatments (perioperative chemotherapy or preoperative chemoradiation) is more effective in improving survival. A study where patients with resectable esophageal / GE junction cancer are chosen at random to receive one of the two preoperative treatments would help determine if one form of treatment improves survival compared to the other. Patients with localized esophageal / GE junction cancer (adenocarcinoma) will be randomized to receive either preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy or preoperative chemoradiation followed by surgery. The main objective of this pilot trial is to determine the possibility of conducting a larger study with many centers participating. If this study proves to be feasible with enough patients enrolled and able to tolerate treatments without major side effects then we can hopefully proceed to perform a larger multi-center trial to look for survival outcome differences between patients who receive preoperative chemotherapy and those who receive preoperative chemoradiation. The results of this trial would ultimately help us choose the most effective treatment of resectable esophageal cancer and hopefully improve survival.

This phase I trial studies the side effects of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in patients with advanced breast or pancreatic cancer with metastases to the liver or lung. Diagnostic procedures, such as DCE-MRI, may help measure a patient's response to treatment

This research trial studies chitinase 3-like 1 (cartilage glycoprotein-39) (YKL-40) in serum samples from patients with newly diagnosed stage III-IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal cavity, or fallopian tube cancer receiving chemotherapy. Studying samples of serum in the laboratory from patients receiving chemotherapy may help doctors learn more about the effects of chemotherapy on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.

To assess the radiological response, curative resection rate of preoperative docetaxel/cisplatin/capecitabine(DCX). To correlate treatment response with serum RUNX3 promoter hypermethylation. To determine the toxicities of preoperative DCX To determine the time to progression/overall survival of preoperative DCX

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of S1 plus paclitaxel (intravenous injection & intraperitoneal injection) plus bevacizumab (intraperitoneal injection) vs. S1 plus oxaliplatin intravenous injection as first-line treatment in gastric or gastroesophageal junctional adenocarcinoma with malignant ascites.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of patients who receive concurrent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for Siewert II ，III of locally advanced HER-2 negative adenocarcinoma at gastroesophageal junction.
