Active clinical trials for "Esophageal Neoplasms"

The study will compare EMR versus ESD technique (both combined with subsequent ablative therapy) of mucosal resection in Barrett's esophagus with regard to efficacy and risk in a long term setting.

Rates of local disease control in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer who are not candidates for surgical resection are suboptimal. Despite treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy approximately half of patients will develop recurrence of their cancer at the site of the original primary cancer. Salvage therapy options are largely ineffective and nearly all patients who develop local disease recurrence will succumb to their cancer. Recent clinical trials for lung cancer have demonstrated that local tumor control can be improved safely with accelerated hypofractionated radiation therapy regimens in order to achieve radiation dose intensification. This clinical trial aims to adapt those techniques and assess the safety of such a regimen for the treatment of inoperable thoracic esophageal cancers.

This study will investigate the safety and tolerability of ADP-A2M4CD8 T-cell therapy in subjects who have the appropriate human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and MAGE-A4 tumor antigen. Tumor indications include endometrial, esophageal, esophagogastric junction (EGJ), gastric, head and neck, melanoma, non-small cell lung (NSCLC), ovarian or urothelial cancer.

This phase I trial studies the best dose of sonidegib when given together with pembrolizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with solid tumor that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Sonidegib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving sonidegib and pembrolizumab may work better than standard treatment in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab (PD-1 inhibitor) and nab-paclitaxel in second line treatment of advanced gastric and gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma. This is a prospective, multi-centers, single arm phase II trial with primary objective overall response rate and second objective of safety and other efficacy endpoints.

A phase II trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of adding durvalumab (MEDI4736) to standard neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy and of adjuvant durvalumab +/- tremelimumab in locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma and to evaluate biomarkers predictive for response to immune checkpoint inhibition

To learn if atezolizumab in combination with oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), when given before surgery, can help to control esophageal and/or gastroesophageal cancer. To learn if adding tiragolumab to the above drug combination can help to control the disease.

This phase IIA trial investigates the side effects of Ad5.F35-hGCC-PADRE vaccine and to see how well it works in treating patients with gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma. Ad5.F35-hGCC-PADRE vaccine may help to train the patient's own immune system to identify and kill tumor cells and prevent it from coming back.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of paclitaxel for the treatment of gastric or gastroesophageal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, 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.

Neoadjuvant durvalumab (MEDI4736) plus docetaxel, oxaliplatin, S-1 (DOS) followed by surgery and adjuvant durvalumab plus S-1 chemotherapy in potentially resectable MMR proficient (pMMR) gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma
