Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

This is a phase III randomized, multicenter study with two different arm: experimental: prophylactic surgery plus HIPEC CO2 performed with mitomycin and cisplatin comparator: standard surgery Adjuvant treatment after surgery is mandatory except for documented cases of non-eligibility in both arms. Patient will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Randomization will be performed during surgery if the total resection of tumor will be reached according to center and neoadjuvant chemotherapy as stratification variables.

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy has been demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival and disease-free survival according to Intergroup Trial 0116 in patients with gastric cancer after surgical resection. However,there are still many patients experiencing local recurrence or distant metastasis after adjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer after resection. The optimal and standard regimen for adjuvant treatment has not been established in locally advanced gastric cancer yet.The investigators designed the trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel plus cisplatin regimen as adjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy regimen compared with classical FOLFOX6 regimen as adjuvant chemotherapy and 5-FU/CF as chemoradiotherapy in patients of locally advanced gastric cancer after D2 radical resection.

This is a Phase II study to determine the efficacy of SBRT to treat liver metastases in patients with Colorectal Adenocarcinoma, Carcinoma of the Anal Canal and Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors that are not amenable to surgery. Patients should have no evidence of extra-hepatic disease or have disease that is planned to be treated with curative intent. Therefore, SBRT is being considered as a potentially curative procedure.

Stomach cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths in India. Curative surgery offers the only chance of improving survival in this cancer. In patients whose cancer has not spread to other parts of the body (beyond the stomach and lymph nodes around it), removal of stomach (gastrectomy) with lymph nodes around the stomach and along the major vessels supplying blood to the stomach (D2 lymphadenectomy) is regarded as current standard of care at Tata Memorial Centre. However, the extent of lymphadenectomy is controversial. Some studies have suggested that removing more lymph nodes, even around the major vessels of the abdomen (aorta and inferior vena cava) may not only help to accurately determine the disease spread, but may also confer an additional survival benefit. Removing more lymph nodes around the major vessels may increase the risk of morbidity to the patient. In the last 5-6 years, stomach cancer specialists around the world have resorted to giving half the cycles of chemotherapy to the patient before the surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy), and the other half after the surgery in what is called 'perioperative chemotherapy'. This has been shown to lead to more patients surviving to 5 years, than before. The investigators feel that perioperative chemotherapy with D2 lymphadenectomy may constitute the best care for our patients with stomach cancer such that no further removal of lymph nodes beyond is required. However, the investigators have no evidence in literature to support this hypothesis. The investigators have thus designed this trial based on which we propose that there exists no difference between a D2 lymphadenectomy and a D3 lymphadenectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for non-metastatic, locally advanced but resectable gastric cancer. The data will enable the development of clear management guidelines for lymph node dissection in stomach cancer.

This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and how well trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride combination agent TAS-102 (TAS-102) and nanoliposomal irinotecan work in treating patients with gastrointestinal cancers that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in the chemotherapy, such as trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride combination agent TAS-102 and nanoliposomal irinotecan, 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.

Previously untreated patients with limited metastatic stage (see protocol for details on criteria) will receive 4 cycles of FLOT (5-Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin and Docetaxel). Patients without disease progression will be randomized 1:1 to receive additional chemotherapy cycles (4-8 cycles of FLOT) or surgical resection followed by subsequent chemotherapy (4-8 cycles of FLOT). Main objective of the study is overall survival. Most important secondary objective is the quality of life under treatment and during follow-up.

The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical efficacy between robotic and laparoscopic total gastrectomy in patients with clinical Stage I gastric cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the Objective Response Rate (ORR) of zolbetuzimab as a single agent as assessed by an independent central reader. This study will also assess the ORR and Progression Free Survival (PFS) of zolbetuximab in combination with mFOLFOX6 (with or without Nivolumab) and in combination with pembrolizumab, assess the safety and tolerability, assess the effects on CLDN18.2 expression and assess the immunogenicity and immunomodulatory effects of zolbetuximab as a single agent and in combination with mFOLFOX6 (with or without Nivolumab) and in combination with pembrolizumab. This study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of zolbetuximab, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil (5-FU), and pembrolizumab, evaluate health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), evaluate the Disease Control Rate (DCR), Duration of Response (DOR), PFS of zolbetuximab as a single agent, in combination with mFOLFOX6 (with or without Nivolumab) and in combination with pembrolizumab based on both investigator and independent central reader assessment, assess Overall Survival (OS) of zolbetuximab as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab.

Although Laparoscopic gastrectomy for both early and locally advanced gastric cancer has gained popularity, the use of laparoscopic total gastrectomy for proximal advanced gastric cancer is still limited to some experienced surgeons, because of its technical difficulties in D2 lymph node dissection and anastomoses. Some retrospective and cohort studies regarding laparoscopic total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection suggested the likelihood of application of laparoscopic surgery for proximal gastric cancer. However, there has been no randomized clinical trial comparing results of laparoscopic total gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection with open conventional surgery. Therefore, we aimed to verify the efficacy of laparoscopic total gastrectomy with D2(D2-10) lymph node dissection, technical and oncologic safety compared with open surgery via multicenter randomized clinical trial.

A randomized controlled two-armed phase III trial for gastric cancer patients with peritoneal dissemination. Randomization between gastrectomy + cytoreductive surgery + HIPEC (experimental arm) and palliative systemic chemotherapy (standard arm).
