Active clinical trials for "Gastrointestinal Neoplasms"

This randomized clinical trial studies survivorship care in reducing symptoms in young adult cancer survivors. Survivorship care programs that identify the needs of young adult cancer survivors and ways to support them through the years after treatment may help reduce symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression, and distress, in young adult cancer survivors.

Caregivers of persons with cancer may face many challenges as they support and care for a person receiving treatment. Sometimes having to help make treatment decisions for a patient can cause distress for caregivers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate 2 different electronic approaches to providing support for a caregiver. One group will have access to an on-line program with videos, providing education on decision making strategies for caregivers of patients with cancer, to watch and a daily meditation application and the other group will have access to the daily meditation application. Investigators will randomly assign participants to each group.

RATIONALE: The use of endoscopy to place metal stents in the duodenum is less invasive than surgery for treating cancer-related duodenal obstruction and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of endoscopic placement of metal stents in treating patients who have cancer-related obstruction of the duodenum.

The study is a randomized study of patients living in four municipalities in Eastern Jutland. After geriatric assessment half of the patients will be offered a tailor-made intervention in their homes. The follow-up will last for at least 90 days and include treatment of the patients' multimorbidity, e.g. of dehydration, anaemia, infections, and malnutrition. The other half of the patients, the results of the assessment and recommendations will be given to the patients and their general practitioner. The primary efficacy variables are accomplishment of planned cancer treatment, reduction of complications and admissions to hospital and increased quality of life,. If geriatric assessment and a tailor-made follow-up result in a better quality of life with less complications and admissions the offer may be extended to a longer period, younger age groups and other cancer diagnoses.

To determine treatment response to surgical debulking and intra-operative Intraperitoneal Hyperthermic Chemotherapy (IPHC) in patients with the following malignancies: Gynecologic cancers (ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube, and uterine/cervical cancers). Mesotheliomas. GI cancers (Gallbladder, liver, small intestine, pancreas, stomach, colon, appendix). To monitor the toxicities and complications of this treatment regimen. To measure treatment related QOL changes after IPHC.

This is a multi-center, open label, repeat dose, Phase 1 study consisting of a Dose Escalation Phase and a Dose Expansion Phase to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical activity.

LP002 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), which prevents PD-L1 from binding to PD-1 and B7.1 receptors on T cell surface, restores T cell activity, thus enhancing immune response and has potential to treat various types of tumors. In this study, the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of LP002 for the treatment of malignant digestive system neoplasms will be evaluated.

Targeting human epidermal factor receptor 2 (HER2) therapy have shown the anti-tumor efficacy in patients with HER2-positive gastrointestinal tumors. Pyrotinib is an irreversible small-molecule receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HER2. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pyrotinib in patients with HER2 positive gastrointestinal tumors.

This a prospective real-world navigation study using tumor DNA sequencing technology to sequence genes of previously treated and refractory gastrointestinal tumors, which are generally considered to be highly heterogeneous and complex, to screen potential molecular targeted drugs for individualized treatment. This study may provide feasibility and response information, which will be the basis for designing better randomized trials, which may change the pattern of cancer treatment. If the hypothesis is finally proved, it will help doctors and molecular biologists to choose the best drug (or combination of drugs) based on the individual oncogenomics of each patient.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of chemotherapy combined with autologous tumor Lysate-pulsed dendritic with cytokine-induced killer cell (Ag-D-CIK) for gastric cancer.
