Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

The purpose of our study is to assess the efficacy and safety of apatinib in elderly advanced gastric cancer patients, and to find the relationship between the expression of VEGFR-2 and efficacy of apatinib treatment.

Patients diagnosis with inoperable gastric cancers are treated with palliative chemotherapy. Palliative chemotherapy had proven to be better overall survivals and quality of life in unresectable advanced gastric cancer. NCCN guideline suggested two or three drug cytotoxic regimen as a first line therapy. But response rate of those regimens is about 50 percent. Disappointingly most of cases are about to experience progression of disease. Second line regimens of palliative chemotherapy are also have shown its efficacy and recommended within patients with better performance status. But There is still lack of evidences in gastric cancer patients second line chemotherapy. Several phase II trial those subjects are 2nd line palliative chemotherapy in gastric cancer had suggested that irinotecan, taxane, oxaliplatin, oral fluorouracil.Investigator assessed whether cisplatin in combination with paclitaxel would increase response rate in patient previously treated for advanced gastric cancer compared with FOFIRI regimen.

Stage I of the Thoracic-POISE study will pilot-test a broad-based, multi-agent integrative care intervention delivered by naturopathic doctors in conjunction with standard surgical and oncologic care of people with thoracic cancer.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancy worldwide. Surgical resection of the tumor is the only curative treatment for gastric cancer. However, surgical procedure accompanies postoperative pain and prolonged hospitalization. To lessen the surgical trauma and stress, minimally invasive surgery were introduced. Laparoscopic gastrectomy was accepted as safe and effective alternative to open gastrectomy. Furthermore, reduced port and single port laparoscopic gastrectomy are considered to minimize the surgical trauma during gastrectomy. However, limitations of laparoscopic approach using reduced port includes unergonomic posture of surgeon, physiologic tremor and collision of instruments. To overcome these limitations, robot surgery using novel single-site technology enabled surgeons to perform the surgical procedure reducing the number of trocar from three to one for insertion of scope and two robotic arms. Previously, successful application of single-site technology for cholecystectomy and hysterectomy were reported. The aim of this study is to validate the safety and feasibility of reduced port robotic distal gastrectomy using single-site technology for the surgical treatment of gastric cancer.

This study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of XELOX regimen with EOX regimen in the first-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer patients.

An open label, dose-finding, schedule-changing, sequential, multiple dose, multi-center study in patients with Stage I-III gastric cancer. The first group of patients received a starting dose of 250 µg at weeks 0, 1, and 3. Thereafter, allocation to treatment with 100 µg or 500 µg was based on antibody response and dose tolerability.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous RC48-ADC in local advanced or metastatic gastric patients with the overexpression of HER2.

The jejunum of the input segment is properly ligated with double line 7 at 3-5cm from the anastomotic site, and the jejunum of the output segment is extended to 30cm

This study enrolled participants with previously-treated advanced or inoperable gastric cancer who have responded to first line platinum therapy into two treatment arms. In Arm A participants received BGB-290; in Arm B participants received placebo. The purpose of this study is to show that BGB-290 (pamiparib) (versus placebo) will improve progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with advanced or inoperable gastric cancer.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of a internet-based preoperative exercise program in patients with esophageal or gastric cancers. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the effects of this preoperative program on functional capacity, anxiety and depression, quality of life and fatigue Methods: This feasibility study will be conduct at University Hospital Saint-Luc in Brussels. Twenty patients with esophageal or gastric cancers will participate in internet-based program 3 sessions per week. Each session will combine aerobic and resistance training. Moreover, inspiratory muscle strengthening (IMT) will be performed daily. The researcher will conduct weekly telephone calls to educate and motivate subjects. Assessments will be performed at baseline, one day before surgery, 1 month and 3 months after surgery. The following parameters will be measured: functional capacity, quality of life, fatigue, anxiety and depression.
