Active clinical trials for "Gastrointestinal Neoplasms"

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.

This is an Open, Single Arm, Exploratory and Phase II Clinical Trial of Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules Combined With CAPEOX in RAS and BRAF wild-type patients with Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma(CRC) as 1st Therapy. After 6 cycles of combined therapy, patients will receive capecitabine and anlotinib as maintenance therapy until tumor progression.In order to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules combined with CAPEOX in treatment of patients with mCRC. The patients who are pathologically confirmed as RAS and BRAF wild-type mCRC will be enrolled. Condition or disease Invention/treatment Phase Colorectal Cancer Drug: Anlotinib Hydrochloride Drug: Capecitabine Drug: Oxaliplatin Phase 2

To evaluate whether the anastomosis success rate of the main effectiveness evaluation indexes is not inferior to the similar products produced by Johnson & Johnson when the Fengh Disposable Powered Articulating Endoscopic Linear Cutter Stapler Used for Gastrointestinal Tissue Cutting and Anastomosis

After having abdominal surgery, patients often experience a lack of bowel function that can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal swelling, pain, and/or discomfort. This is known as "post-operative ileus." Patients are usually not allowed to leave the hospital until their doctor is sure that their bowel function has returned. The goal of this clinical research study is to compare using a rocking chair to the standard of care in improving post-operative ileus after abdominal surgery.

Surgical trauma can lead to an intense inflammation and impairment of the capacity to fight against infections. Fish oil is composed by substances called omega-3 fatty acids which have anti-inflammatory effects. When infused through the vein as part of a nutritional treatment of some surgical patients, fish oil have been shown to preserve some defense capabilities against infections and to decrease postoperative release of inflammatory substances, contributing to the shortening of length of hospital and intensive care unity (ICU) stay and complications, mainly infectious complications. These reported benefits have been encouraging the vein infusion of fish oil as a kind of medicine to contribute for the treatment of surgical patients. In current study the investigators evaluated the effect of preoperative infusion of pure fish oil in patients with gastrointestinal cancer (stomach and colon) on their clinical outcomes. The hypothesis considered that preoperative infusion of fish oil, not as part of nutritional therapy but as a medicine agent, can attenuates inflammation and improves the capacity of surgical patients to fight against infections, improving their treatment.

This is an open label, multi-center, Phase 1/2 dose escalation study of BBI608 administered in combination with either FOLFOX6 with and without bevacizumab, or CAPOX, or FOLFIRI with and without bevacizumab, or regorafenib, or irinotecan.

This is a single-arm, open-label, phase I study of combination therapy with SOM 230 and FOLFIRI. We will utilize a sequential dose-escalation design to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SOM 230 when combined with standard doses of FOLFIRI.

Intra ocular pressure (IOP) may theoretically increase due to steep Trendelenberg position and studies showed that IOP reaches peak levels after steep Trendelenberg position on an average of 13 mmHg higher than preanesthesia induction values. Major determinants of IOP are aqueous humor flow, choroidal blood volume, central venous pressure and extra ocular muscle tone. Hassen GW et al measured anterior chamber depth in 2 patients with glaucoma and compared the anterior chamber depth (ACD) with the intraocular pressure measured by tonometer. They concluded that bedside ultrasound could be useful in evaluating patient with suspected increased IOP, who are unable to open their eyes.

The aim of the investigators' study is to evaluate the mucosa-elevating capacity and clinical safety of Sodium Alginate (SA) mixed with Calcium Lactate in assisting Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection/Endoscopic Mucosal Resection.

The primary purpose of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of DS-8201a and physician's choice treatment in HER2-overexpressing advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma patients who have progressed on two prior treatment regimens including fluoropyrimidine agent, platinum agent, and trastuzumab.
