Active clinical trials for "Esophageal Neoplasms"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of oblimersen in treating patients who have solid tumors that have not responded to previous therapy.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of oxaliplatin plus irinotecan in treating patients with previously treated metastatic gastrointestinal cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining docetaxel and irinotecan in treating patients who have advanced cancer of the esophagus or stomach.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not known whether high-dose radiation therapy is more effective than standard dose radiation therapy in treating cancer of the esophagus. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus high- or standard-dose radiation therapy in treating patients with cancer of the esophagus.

Participation in clinical trials usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what study attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of esophageal cancer treatments. The focus will be on tracking the rates of completion and withdrawal among these individuals. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future esophageal cancer research.

This is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of QBS10072S in patients with advanced or metastatic cancers with high LAT1 expression. The MTD of QBS10072S will be confirmed in patients with relapsed or refractory grade 4 astrocytoma.

In the China extension study, Chinese participants with advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus or Siewert type I adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) that has progressed after first-line standard therapy will be randomized to receive either single agent pembrolizumab or the Investigator's choice of chemotherapy with paclitaxel, docetaxel, or irinotecan. The primary extension study hypothesis is that treatment with pembrolizumab will prolong overall survival (OS) as compared to treatment with chemotherapy.

This is a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center phase III trial, comparing the efficacy and safety of SHR-1210 + paclitaxel + cisplatin vs placebo+paclitaxel +cisplatin as 1L therapy for advanced esophageal cancer patients in China. SHR-1210 is a humanized anti-PD1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody.

This study is to develop computational pipelines and experimental validation assays for improving the identification of neoantigens from patients with esophageal cancer.

The goal of this observational study is to test the clinical efficacy of "KCNA3 and OTOP2 gene methylation combined detection kit (fluorescence PCR method)"in esophageal cancer and high-grade esophageal neoplasia auxiliary diagnosis.The main questions it aims to answer are: How consistent are the test results of the kit with the clinical reference diagnostic criteria? Sanger sequencing can visually show whether each sample contains methylation sites, so in this clinical trial, the kit results were compared with Sanger sequencing results to analyze the reagent's accuracy in detecting KCNA3 and OTOP2 gene methylation. Each participant is required to provide no less than 10 ml of blood to complete the kit test.
