Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of autologous gp96 treatment of gastric cancer.

Fentanyl based intravenous patient controlled analgesia(PCA)is popular method for postoperative pain control, but information regarding optimal dose of fentanyl in IV PCA is currently lacking. We thus determine appropriate dose of fentanyl (bolus dose and background infusion rate) for effective pain control with minimal side effects such as nausea and vomiting

The primary objectives of this control, single-center clinical study of EndostarTM Injection with/without SOX protocols to treat advanced gastric cancer were to evaluate the clinical response rate of Endostar injection concomitant with SOX on patients with advanced gastric cancer, observe the progression-free survival time (PFS) of tumor and evaluate the safety and tolerance of Endostar injection, while the secondary objectives were to observe the influence of Endostar injection on chemotherapy-induced adverse reactions and evaluate the overall survival time of EndostarTM injection concomitant with SOX on patients with advanced gastric cancer by evaluating the response rate (RR) clinical benefit rate (CBR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy for early upper gastric cancer compared with open total gastrectomy. This study will performed via prospective, multicenter design.

The investigators hypothesis is that the combination of TS-ONE with cisplatin and trastuzumab is safe and as effective as combination treatment for HER2 positive gastric cancer.

The primary objectives of this study is to compare the efficacy of paclitaxel monotherapy with irinotecan monotherapy as defined by progression-free survival (PFS), in all patients with recurrent and metastatic gastric cancer who progress following first line therapy.

The recurrence and metastasis of peritoneum is always the lethal consequence for gastric cancer patients, and there is no effective therapy until now. It has been reported by Dr.Fujimoto that intraperitoneal chemotherapy plus hyperthermic therapy, which called hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), can eliminate and suppress the free cancer cells and tiny metastasis in abdomen. Refer to the experience of systematic chemotherapy, HIPEC with combination regimen would have a brighter prospect. In this study, the investigators would use Oxaliplatin and paclitaxel sequent as HIPEC regimen. The safety and overall survival would be observed and evaluated.

Background: It is shown that TS-1 as adjuvant chemotherapy after D2 resection in patients with gastric cancer can improve DFS and OS in one Japanese Trial. And TS-1 has become one of the standard therapies to these patients. But it is still unknown whether it would improve more to OS and DFS than single TS-1 after combined with oxaliplatin . This trial is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of TS-1 plus oxaliplatin versus TS-1 single as adjuvant chemotherapy after D2 resection in patients with gastric cancer. Patients and methods: In this study , patients with histologically confirmed gastric cancer who received D2 resection and staged II or III, aged from 18 to 70 years and with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤2 and adequate organ function, are randomized 1:1 to oxaliplatin 100mg/m2 on day 1 and TS-1 40~60mg twice everyday for 14 days in a 21-days cycle for total 6 cycles followed by TS-1 single with the same dose and frequency to the end of the 1st year postoperatively(SOX) , or TS-1 single 40~60mg twice everyday for 14 days in a 21-days cycle to the end of the 1st year postoperatively (TS-1). The primary end point is overall survival (OS), and secondary end point is disease free survival(DFS) and safety. Final study analysis will be conducted in the end of the 5th year after the last patient's enrollment.

Besides major ESD-related complications, minor adverse events after ESD are also commonly noticed. Pain is one of minor ESD-related complications. . The causes of pain associated with ESD or gastric polypectomy are thought to be associated with transmural burn or transmural air leak. How control localized pain for patients who suffered from pain after ESD is appearing as new medical interests. There are few studies about management strategy for pain after ESD. Glucocorticoids are used to reduce inflammation and tissue damage in various clinical settings including inflammatory disease, rheumatic disease, and so on. The efficacy of glucocorticoids for reducing pain after surgery has recently been investigated. Glucocorticoids are thought to locally inhibit collagen deposition and fibrosis and finally reduce scar-tissue formation. Especially systemic steroids are easy to achieve a continuous effect through stable serum concentrations. If pain was partially associated with acute inflammation, we assumed intravenous dexamethasone could be helpful to relieve pain after ESD based on previous studies. we aimed to assess the efficacy of single dose postoperative intravenous dexamethasone for pain relief after ESD.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of ESD(Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection) for early gastric cancer analyzing short-term and long-term results of endoscopic treatment.
