Active clinical trials for "Esophageal Neoplasms"

The large-scale phase IV study aims to verify the safety and efficacy of apatinib in patients with advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma after failure of two lines of chemotherapy. Apatinib initiated at a recommended dose of 850mg. However, the starting dose was decided by investigator's choice based on patients' condition. Dose interruption and dose reduction were allowed according to the product label. Treatment continued until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, or at investigators' discretion. The primary endpoint was safety, which was assessed by recording the incidence and severity of adverse events.

This phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ trial is designed to explore a higher radiation dose by using IMRT simultaneous integrated boost technique with or without concurrent chemotherapy for locally advanced esophageal carcinoma.

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

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of administering various dose regimens of ramucirumab in participants with advanced gastric cancer whose disease has progressed during or following prior chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is To compare the effects of the two types of thoracic esophageal cancer lymphadenectomy on the staging and prognosis of resectable esophageal cancer, which defined by the International Association of esophageal disease(ISDE) - standard mediastinal lymphadenectomy,total mediastinal lymphadenectomy and three field lymphadenectomy,and to find out reasonable range of lymphadenectomy. To compare the effects of Chemotherapy Group (Docetaxel + Nedaplatin) with Control Group on the prognosis of resectable thoracic esophageal cancer,and to explore the indications of adjuvant chemotherapy.

RATIONALE: Pralatrexate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving pralatrexate together with docetaxel may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving pralatrexate together with docetaxel works in treating patients with stage IV esophageal or gastroesophageal cancer who have failed platinum-based therapy.

In this trial, FLOT will be evaluated as therapy option for elderly patients (>65 years) with advanced gastric cancer in comparison to the well established FLO scheme. The hypothesis is that FLOT is more effective than FLO in elderly patients with acceptable side effects.

The purpose of this study it to evaluate the safety and immune response of peptides (URLC10) emulsified with Montanide ISA51 in treating patients with unresectable, advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the treatment effect, depth of injury, and side effects using technology involving the spray of liquid nitrogen through a catheter (CryoSpray AblationTM, "CSA" or "cryospray therapy") onto healthy tissue via esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) using surgical resection specimens from subjects undergoing esophagectomy.

The purpose of this study is to assess objective tumor response in the single agent treatment of PEP02, irinotecan, or docetaxel for locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma
