Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

Although laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) is widely used for the treatment of early gastric cancer, there have been few reports of the efficacy of LAG in the management of advanced gastric cancer(AGC). The aim of this study is to evaluate the surgical outcomes and oncologic safety of laparoscopic gastrectomy for AGC.

We grafted the concept of metabolic surgery (long limb Roux-en Y reconstruction) into gastric cancer surgery. This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of long limb Roux-en Y reconstruction after gastrectomy in non-obese type II diabetes with gastric cancer.

This is a randomized multicenter controlled study of oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium , plus 5-fluorouracil (FOLFOX) compared with S-1 plus oxaliplatin (SOX) as perioperative chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer. Hypothesis: SOX is not inferior to FOLFOX as perioperative chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer.

Although the overall incidence of gastric cancer has steadily declined in many Western countries during the last few decades, it is still one of the most common tumors in China. It is now well recognised that combination chemotherapy regimens improve patient outcomes, but there is no accepted global standard regimen for advanced gastric cancer. The ToGA study was the first randomized, prospective, multicenter, phase III trial to show the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab in HER2- positive GC. Trastuzumab reduced the risk of death by 26% (HR 0.74; 95% CI 0∙60, 0∙91; p=0∙0046) when combined with a reference chemotherapy (Capecitabine plus Cisplatin) and prolonged the median survival by nearly 3 months (from 11.1 to 13.8 months) in patients with HER2-positive(FISH+ or IHC3+) advanced GC. Oxaliplatin has been shown to be as effective as cisplatin, and exhibits a favorable toxicity profile with a substantially lower rate of nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, and myelosuppression. In the current study, the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab in combination with Oxaliplatin/capecitabine chemotherapy will be evaluated in Chinese patients with HER2 positive advanced or recurrent gastric cancer.

In this open-label, single-center, small sample size, randomised, parallel-group, controlled study, the investigators aim to assess efficacy and safety of addition of nimotuzumab to CS chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. Sixty-two patients are required and randomly assigned (1:1) to each group. The control regimen (CS chemotherapy) is recommended as the standard first-line regimen for advanced adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction in japan.

Primary Objective: - To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of cabazitaxel by assessing objective tumor response rate (ORR) at the recommended dose (RD) when administered as a single agent every 3 weeks in patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who have failed prior chemotherapy regimens Secondary Objectives: To determine the RD of cabazitaxel when administered as a single agent every 3 weeks To evaluate safety of cabazitaxel when administered as a single agent every 3 weeks To estimate the overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of cabazitaxel in part 1

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin and s1 as first-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer.

The investigators hypothesize that the new imaging method Gallium-68-DOTATATE has a higher diagnostic value in the detection of neuroendocrine tumors than the established imaging method Indium-111-Octreoscan. Therefore, the investigators will perform both imaging procedures in patients with suspected or confirmed neuroendocrine tumors. Subsequently, the investigators will compare the diagnostic performance of both methods.

Investigation of peptide vaccination targeting HER2/neu in patients with metastasized breast or gastric cancer with moderate HER2/neu expression.

The purpose of study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ONO-4538 in patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer (including esophagogastric junction cancer) refractory to or intolerant of standard therapy.
