Active clinical trials for "Gastrointestinal Neoplasms"

Bevacizumab, as an antibody of vascular endothelial generated factor (VEGF), combined with the fluorouracil-based chemotherapy regimens for metastatic colorectal cancer, has become the classical first-line treatment. However, vast majority of patients eventually will suffer progression disease. The second-line treatment includes replacing chemotherapy regimens whistle continuing bevacizumab or other anti-VEGF antibodies, such as Aflibercept and Ramucirumab. Apatinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which can highly selectively bind to and strongly block VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR - 2), also potently suppress the activities of Ret, c-kit and c-src, resulting in reduced cell migration, proliferation, and tumor microvascular density mediated by VEGF .There are already robust data showing that antibodies aimed at blocking VEGF signaling pathways combined with chemotherapy to treat advanced colorectal cancer is superior as compared to chemotherapy alone. Thus, we hypothesize that the effect of using the second-line chemotherapy regimens combined with apatinib may be superior to those combined with bevacizumab. In this study,the patients who have progressed following or on first-line oxaliplatin and 5-FU combined with bevacizumab are randomised into two arms. Patients in the experimental arm receive second-line FOLFIRI combined with apatinib and those in the control arm receive second-line FOLFIRI combined with bevacizumab. To compare the efficacy and safety of the two arms, progression-free survival(PFS) is the primary end point.If apatinib is superior to bevacizumab in the second-line setting,it is one possible option of anti-angiogenic therapy in combination with second-line FOLFIRI for treatment of advanced colorectal cancer.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of domestic injection paclitaxel (albumin binding type) in patients with advanced digestive tract tumors,and to further explore the possible predictors of efficacy.In order to provide more effective chemotherapeutic drugs, prolong survival time and improve quality of life for patients with advanced digestive tract tumors.

This phase I trial is to investigate the safety and the possible side effects of bi-specific antibody armed T-cell therapy when given together with low-dose IL-2 in treating patients with Her2-positive neoplasms of digestive system. Expanded autologues T cells that have been coated with bi-specific antibodies, such as anti-CD3 and anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Interleukin-2 may stimulate white blood cells to kill tumor cells.

Double-blind, randomized clinical trial to assess the effects of 1,55 g/day of n-3 fatty acids from fish oil concomitant chemotherapy in gastrointestinal cancer.

The investigators want to study whether the use of painting art therapy has an influence on the quality of life, the complication rate and the general outcome of major abdominal surgery. The painting art therapy is carried out according to the protocol of (LOM® Solution Centered Art Therapy) by trained painting art therapists.

AK105 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specially binds to PD-1. Anlotinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Based on the mechanism study, tumor vascular abnormalities promote tissue hypoxia and increase lactic acid, thereby activating immunosuppression and inhibiting T cell function. Anti-angiogenic drugs enhance the infiltration of effector immune cells by inducing normalization of blood vessels and reducing immunosuppression.

This is a prospective, open, phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor and a MEK inhibitor in the treatment of metastatic digestive system tumors

This is a multi-center open-label proof-of-concept study consisting of two parts: PART A - a phase I dose-finding study (3 + 3 classical design) evaluating the RP2D of afatinib in combination with selumetinib in KRASm NSCLC; and PART B - a randomized phase II study investigating the progression free survival and safety of selumetinib/afatinib combination therapy compared to standard of care chemotherapy in KRASm NSCLC.

To research the effect of propranolol on the proliferation and apoptosis of gastrointestinal cancer.

Ultrasonic sonoporation can increase the release of chemotherapeutics, thus increasing the therapeutic effects. The main purpose is to identify the safety of combining ultrasonic microbubbles and chemotherapeutics to treat malignant neoplasms of hepatic metastases from alimentary system and pancreatic carcinoma.
