Active clinical trials for "Esophageal Neoplasms"

This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of sintilimab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy in neoadjuvant treatment of potentially resectable esophageal cancer.

Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of death due to cancer worldwide. Although the consensus on the surgical treatment has resulted in the improvement of curative effect during the past decades, controversies remained for the perioperative therapy of gastric cancer, especially in the selection of the optimal neoadjuvant regimens. Immunotherapy with anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody has demonstrated moderate efficacy in selected patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. Hypofractionated radiotherapy (HypoRT) may act synergistically with immunotherapy to enhance antitumor responses. This phase II trial study want to exploit the efficacy and safety to give PD-1 antibody (Tislelizumab) with combination chemotherapy and HypoRT before surgery in treating adult patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

This study will examine the combination of pembrolizumab and tadalafil for safety and efficacy in advanced head and neck cancer.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how safe and effective proton-beam therapy (PBT) may be in comparison to intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in combination with chemotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer. PBT and IMRT are both forms of radiation therapy that are designed to treat a specific area of the body while affecting as little of the surrounding normal tissue as possible. PBT is a newer technology that is designed to further reduce the amount of radiation that affects the surrounding normal tissue. However, this is still being studied.

Patients with cancer are increasingly being treated with drugs designed to modulate the response of their immune system, broadly to boost their body's defences against cancer. However, there is an unmet need to identify which patients are unlikely to benefit. Deciding on benefit from therapy uses standard imaging methods (e.g. CT scans), which can take time (months) whereas DNA in the bloodstream could be measured more rapidly. The main aim of this study is to assess whether changes in the level of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) can quickly determine a patients response. This would enable patients to change therapies more quickly if they are not responding and reduce exposure to unnecessary side effects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and 2-year local control rate for postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

This trial will look at a drug called SGN-STNV to find out whether it is safe for patients with solid tumors. It will study SGN-STNV to find out what its side effects are. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. It will also study how well SGN-STNV works to treat solid tumors. The study will have two parts. Part A of the study will find out how much SGN-STNV should be given to patients. Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SGN-STNV is and if it works to treat certain types of solid tumors.

The primary purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of tucatinib (MK-7119) in Chinese participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) advanced breast cancer, gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEC), and colorectal cancer.

This is an open-label, single-arm, single-center Phase Ib/II study to exploratorily evaluate the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of regorafenib and nivolumab plus chemotherapy in patients with unresectable advanced/recurrent gastric/ gastroesophageal junction/esophageal adenocarcinoma.

This is a phase II, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the antitumor activity, efficacy and safety of GEN-001 in combination with avelumab as a third line (3L) or greater line treatment which is not received the Standard of Care (SOC) for patients with PD-L1 positive advanced GC/Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma who are not received cancer immunotherapy regimens as mono or combination therapy.
