Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

This is an open label phase 1/1b study of Rilotumumab in Japanese subjects with advanced solid tumors or metastatic gastric esphagogastric (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antitumor effect and safety of clinical effectiveness dendritic cell activated Cytokine induced killer treatment (DC-CIK) plus S-1 based chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer.

A prospective series of patients with recurrent gastric cancer will be treated with three cycles of chemotherapy (doxorubicin and cisplatin) instilled into the abdominal cavity in the form of an aerosol under pressure via laparoscopy. The efficacy of this treatment will be assessed by computed tomography, tumor marker studies, and survival. Also, the safety of the procedure will be assessed.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Sunitinib and Docetaxel is effective in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer patients who had prior chemotherapy with fluoropyrimidine and platinum.

RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of stomach or esophageal cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving everolimus together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic stomach or esophageal cancer that has spread to other places in the body.

This parallel, randomized, open-label, multi-centre study will evaluate the effect on overall survival of trastuzumab (Herceptin) in combination with a chemotherapy compared to the chemotherapy alone in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer. Trastuzumab (Herceptin) will be administered as intravenous infusion of 6 mg/kg (loading dose 8 mg/kg) every 3 weeks. The chemotherapy consists of a combination of 6 cycles of fluorouracil (800 mg/m2/day intravenous infusion every 3 weeks) and cisplatin (80 mg/m2 intravenous infusion every 3 weeks), or capecitabine (Xeloda, 1000 mg/m2 po twice daily for 14 days every 3 weeks) and cisplatin (80 mg/m2 intravenous infusion every 3 weeks). Treatment with trastuzumab (Herceptin) will continue until disease progression. The target sample size is 300-600 patients.

Patients with advanced gastric cancer are treated with a combination of RAD001 (everolimus) and Mitomycin C.

In order to improve survival of metastatic gastric cancer patients, we plan to to conduct a phase II trial of CapeOx with 800 mg once-daily pazopanib as a first-line chemotherapy in metastatic gastric cancer patients.

This is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASG-5ME and identify the maximum tolerated dose in patients with pathologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and to evaluate safety and tolerability in patients with relapsed or refractory gastric adenocarcinoma.

FOLFOX* followed by FOLFIRI** or reverse sequence treatment regimen have been used as a standard treatment modality in metastatic colorectal cancer.Oxaliplatin and Irinotecan were used for advanced gastric cancer also. The investigators study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FOLFOX followed by FOLFIRI or reverse sequence treatment regimen as a first-line and second line therapy for patients with relapsed or metastatic gastric cancer similar with colorectal cancer. *FOLFOX: oxaliplatin followed by leucovorin before bolus 5-FU followed by continuous infusion 5-FU **FOLFIRI: irinotecan followed by leucovorin before bolus 5-FU followed by continuous infusion 5-FU
