Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

Patients with advanced oesophagogastric cancer (OCG) have a very poor prognosis. After progression on first line therapy, second line chemotherapy with paclitaxel and a VEGF-R2 targeting antibody has a proven benefit on survival. However, no data are available on the combination of paclitaxel with kinase inhibitors in advanced OGC. Here the investigators propose a Phase 1b study to assess the tolerability of regorafenib (an oral multi kinase inhibitor) in combination with paclitaxel and to assess the uptake of paclitaxel in OCG metastasis.

The purpose of this trial is to compare the effects of TAS-102 and best supportive care (BSC) with Placebo (an inactive drug) and best supportive care on metastatic gastric cancer.

Surgical manipulation and handling of a tumor may cause dissemination of cancer cells through peritoneal cavity after curative gastrectomy. Intra operative peritoneal lavage may have preventive effect on positive peritoneal cytology occurred during gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of s-1 plus Albumin Bound Paclitaxel as first-line therapy in the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer.

This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of aclitaxel/oxaliplatin/fluorouracil (TOF) regimen and S-1/oxaliplatin (SOX) regimen for metastatic gastric cancer (GC) patients.

The purpose of the study is to compare efficacy and safety of palliative chemotherapy EOX and mDCF regimens in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced HER2-negative gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for unresectable Stomach Neoplasms.

This phase II trial aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of pemetrexed in patients with pretreated metastatic gastric cancer.

This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical outcomes and toxicities of adjuvant treatment including S-1/cisplatin chemotherapy followed by S-1 based CRT.

Statins are commonly used as cholesterol-lowering medications and have shown effectiveness in the primary and secondary prevention of heart attack and stroke. In addition, several recent studies of human cancer cell lines and animal tumor models indicate that statins may have chemopreventive properties through the arresting of cell-cycle progression. The chemopreventive effect of statins was demonstrated in some kind of human tumors including colorectal cancer. In addition, recent one large epidemiologic study showed that statins decreased risk of gastric cancer. On the other hands, it has been well known that Helicobacter pylori infection induces gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, which are premalignant lesions of gastric cancer. Progression of these premalignant lesions could be limited by H. pylori eradication. In addition, a recent double blind randomization study revealed that simvastatin as adjuvant to standard therapy improves significantly the H. pylori eradication rate. Therefore, investigators conjecture that statins may have an adjuvant role for inhibition of gastric carcinogenesis. investigators aim to evaluate the role of statins in gastric carcinogenesis by observing the changes of gastric inflammation under statins.
