Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

We have an active research program in gastrointestinal cancers including clinical trials, epidemiologic, and translational studies. We would like to establish a biospecimen bank linked to useful clinical information in order to learn more about diagnostic, predictive and prognostic markers for gastrointestinal cancers. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: 1. To collect and store tumor and normal tissue (previously collected paraffin embedded or frozen specimen) and blood in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Collect detailed clinical information via a patient questionnaire that includes demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle, family, past medical, medication and cancer histories Collect details about the tumor specimen extracted from patient charts.

The treating physician/investigator contacts Lilly when, based on their medical opinion, a patient meets the criteria for inclusion in the compassionate use program.

An Expanded Access Protocol for use of DKN-01 for the treatment of advanced solid tumors.

The results of PET/MRI and PET/CT in each recruited gastric cancer patients will be compared.

To evaluate the clinical significance of cell free DNA (cfDNA) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in real-time monitoring the therapeutic response during HER2-targeted therapy in histologically confirmed HER2 positive advanced/metastatic gastric cancer.

The primary objective of this trial is to determine the impact of the FOLFOX regimen on quality of life and the incidence of chemotherapy induced neurotoxicity.

Evaluating the application value of a new circulating tumor cell detection method for advanced gastric cancer patients in prediction of the prognosis and early evaluation of the result of postoperation adjuvant chemotherapy.

Helicobater pylori plays an important role in the development of gastric cancer. Eradication therapy can reducing the morbidity of gastric cancer, but can't totally prevent it especially when atrophy and more serious precancerous lesions already happened. Prior studies found the gastric bacterial difference among gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and gastric cancer. However, they didn't reach an agreement. Correa's model is widely accepted in the development of gastric cancer. The pathological change makes a more suitable environment for bacteria to overgrowth. This study are designed to analyze the gastric microbial difference of non-atrophic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, intraepithelial neoplasia and gastric cancer.

China has the largest gastric cancer patients population all over the world. Recent reports concluded nutrition status and lifestyle factors were associated with gastric cancer risk, however, the influence of nutrition and lifestyle factors on cancer outcome in gastric cancer survivors is largely unknown.The investigators will explore the impact of nutrition status, life style, dietary pattern, obesity, physical activity, depression, diabetes, aspirin use and vitamin supplement on gastric cancer outcome. The investigators will recruit approximately 50,000 patients as a prospective study cohort. During follow up, the investigators will explore the association of these factors with disease-specific survival, disease-free survival and overall survival of patients. The investigators believe that this project will facilitate the establishment of domestic nutrition and lifestyle data of gastric cancer of China, and the improvement of the quality of clinical management of patients with gastric cancer.

This study is designed to investigate the incidence of pancreatic fistula after radical gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients.
