Active clinical trials for "Esophageal Neoplasms"

Aim of the study is to assess efficacy of a short course radiation treatment in patients with symptomatic esophageal malignant lesions

This is a two center phase II prospective single-arm safety and feasibility trial for 20 patients with resectable esophageal carcinoma with an increased risk for anastomotic leakage, as based upon UCS and NASCET calcification scores on pre-op CT-scan. In these patients, laparoscopic ischemic conditioning is performed 12-18 days before an Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy. The primary outcome is all complications grade 2 and higher (Clavien-Dindo classification) occurring during or after the laparoscopic ischemic conditioning. Secondary outcomes are complications after the esophagectomy, and the induction of angiogenesis by biomarkers of microcirculation and redistribution of blood flow by measurement of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography.

Phase I study with the hypothesis that Pulsed Low Dose Radiation (PLDR) radiation delivery technique can significantly decrease the rate of severe acute esophagitis in patients receiving concurrent Chemo-radiation therapy (CRT) for non-small cell lung cancer or esophageal cancer while maintaining similar efficacy. For these patients, the rate of severe acute esophagitis during concurrent CRT is high (approximately 20%) when conventional external beam radiation is utilized. Severe acute esophagitis can cause many adverse consequences such as severe discomfort, weight loss, hospitalization, interruption/early termination of treatment, and worse surgical complications for those who receive surgery after CRT. PLDR radiation has the potential to maintain the tumor control rates of conventional radiation while decreasing the toxicity to the surrounding normal tissue 29-35. We have completed accrual to a phase I PLDR radiation study, in which patient received palliative re-irradiation with PLDR technique for their metastatic disease in previous irradiated field. In that phase I study, PLDR demonstrated safety for acute toxicities in the setting of re-irradiation for a total dose of 50 Gy, with analysis of 60 Gy pending. The follow up time for that phase I study is limited as most enrolled patients have short overall survival due to their terminal illness. This proposed phase I study is, to our knowledge, the first clinical study with combination of PLDR radiation and concurrent chemotherapy for definitive treatment.

A single arm, open-label pilot study is designed to determine the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of personalized mRNA tumor vaccine encoding neoantigen in Patients with advanced esophageal cancer and non-small cell lung cancer

Currently, adjuvant therapy is not recommended for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received radical surgery. However, the recurrence rate is as high as 23.8%-58%, and the median time-to-recurrence is about 10.5 months. In patients who had residual tumor after surgery, evidence lacks for chemoradiation. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of chemoradiation therapy in patients with recurrences after radical surgery or palliative surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the safety, feasibility and clinical efficacy of transthoracic single-hole assisted laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for Siewert Type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction. Methods: A prospective, single-center, one-arm study will be performed. Patients who have been diagnosed with Siewert type Ⅱ esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma and meet the eligibility criteria will be included in the study and undergo the transthoracic single-hole assisted laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. The data of preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative and follow-up will be recorded and analyzed. Primary study endpoints: The incidences of early postoperative complications and mortality. The secondary study endpoints:(1) Surgery and oncology indicators ;(2) Early postoperative recovery information ;(3) 3-year disease-free survival and overall survival rate;(4) 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival.

This is a randomized, controlled, multi-center, open trial, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients that failed at least second-line treatment and overexpressed EGFR were enrolled and randomly assigned to the experimental group and control group at a 1: 1 ratio.,who received Larotinib and the chemotherapy regimen chosen by the investigator (Irinotecan Hydrochloride Injection or Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium Capsule),respecitively. Subjects are administered until disease progression assessed by the RECIST V1.1 standard (unless the investigator evaluates that the subject continues to have clinical benefit from continuing treatment, the subject may be allowed to continue treatment), and begins to receive new anti-tumor treatment, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, or other conditions that meet the criteria for terminating trial treatment / withdrawal from the trial. The research phase of this study is divided into pre-screening period (~ D-28), screening period (D-28 ~ D-1), treatment period, treatment end visit (± 7 days after the last dose), safety follow-up ( Until 28 ± 7 days after the last dose) and survival follow-up.

This phase I trial identifies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of BAY 1895344 in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with solid tumors or urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). BAY 1895344 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cisplatin and gemcitabine are chemotherapy drugs that stop the growth of tumor cells by killing the cells. Combining BAY 1895344 with chemotherapy treatment (cisplatin, or cisplatin and gemcitabine) may be effective for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including urothelial cancer.

To compare transhiatal / transabdominal approach with thoracoabdominal approach for Siewert II adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction

This is an open label, multicentre, Phase Ib/II Clinical Study of AK109 and AK104 With or Without Chemotherapy in Second-line Treatment of Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma .
