Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

This study is to determine the response rate and safety profile of irinotecan plus epirubicin as the second-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer and fully evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the regime.

In China, S-1 is an novel oral fluoropyrimidine with demonstrated high efficacy on gastrointestinal cancer. The new regimen with oxaliplatin and leucovorin is expected to achieve more encouraging efficacy on gastric cancer. This study is aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the SOL regimen on efficacy and tolerability on Chinese patients with advanced gastric cancer.

To investigate the feasibility, safety and tolerability of Preoperative Chemoradiation in Patients With Localized Gastric Cancer. Primary endpoint: R0 resection rate. Secondary endpoint: resection rate, pathological complete regression (pCR), effectiveness and safety of regime, disease free survival(DFS) and overall survival(OS).

This study will determine the safety and efficacy of expanded activated autologous NK cells administered after Trastuzumab in patients with HER2-positive breast or gastric cancer. It will also provide valuable insights of the role of NK cell infusions in adult solid tumors.

This is an open-label, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of biweekly docetaxel, Oxaliplatin and de Gramont regimen on unresectable gastric adenocarcinoma in the first-line therapy.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of apatinib as maintenance therapy after adjuvant chemotherapy in progressive gastric cancer patients with positive exfoliative cancer cells.

The majority of patients with newly diagnosed metastatic ESCC and gastric cancer patients experience a number of physical and psychosocial symptoms related to their cancer. Those patients endure the greatest level of distress from their disease relative to other cancer populations in China. Although new drugs have been applied in recent years, the median overall survival time of metastatic ESCC and GC patients are still around 12 months. Therefore, it is essential to maximize their quality of life (QOL) from the time of diagnosis. Multiple studies demonstrate that symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and anorexia are prevalent at diagnosis and worsen over time. As a result, suffering increases throughout the course of the illness. To be most effective, palliative care with intensive symptom management and psychosocial support should begin at the time of diagnosis, not once life-prolonging therapies have failed. And some studies have revealed that early palliative can even prolong the overall survival time in advanced lung cancer. The investigators then initiated a randomized phase III clinical trial with standard oncology care plus early palliative care or not in metastatic esophageal carcinoma and gastric cancer to observe whether the early palliative can improve the QOL and even prolong the overall survival time in those patients

Laparoscopic distal subtotal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection for treatment of gastric cancer is popular in East Asian countries. However, the long-term follow-up outcome based on randomized clinical trial (RCT) is still rare. Some studies indicated that laparoscopic distal subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is a technically feasible and safe procedure by experienced surgeons in high-volume specialized hospitals. However, the application of it is still limited because of lack of solid evidence on the oncologic efficacy. Nowadays, the proportion of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer is estimated up to 80 percent of all gastric cancer cases in China. Before the clinical application of laparoscopic procedure for the treatment with curative intent to advanced gastric cancer located at the middle- or lower-third of the stomach, the oncologic efficacy must be verified.Accordingly, the comparison of long-term outcome between laparoscopic and open distal subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer based on a well designed RCT is needed.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of albumin bound paclitaxel plus 5-FU and as second-line therapy in the treatment of taxanes naive patients with advanced gastric cancer.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the effects of treatment with carboplatin, docetaxel and capecitabine in patients with incurable cancer of the esophagus or stomach.
