Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

Gastric cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in China. Most patients are unresectable or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. Systemic therapy was required for the patients with advanced stage. Platinum combined with fluoropyrimidines always were considered as first line treatment. After failure of initial therapy, single agent of taxanes was used as second line treatment. However, there is no relative standard chemotherapeutic regimen in the third therapy except oral anti-angiogenesis drug-Apatinib. So this study was designed to explore the role of single agent with irinotecan as third line treatment in patients with metastatic gastric cancer in China.

Selection of the optimal treatment for gastric outlet obstruction in patients with radically unresectable gastric cancer remains controversial because previous studies comparing the two procedures had a small sample size as well as they included various etiologies such as gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, duodenal cancer and pancreaticobiliary cancer in selecting the patient population. Therefore, to establish the standard of care for patients with radically unresectable gastric cancer with gastric outlet obstruction, a larger prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial using a single type of stent is warranted.

Radiation therapy plus concurrent chemotherapy has been demonstrated a significant improvement in overall and disease-free survival according to Intergroup Trial 0116 in patients with gastric cancer after surgical complete resection. Advantage of application of IMRT has been shown in planning comparison studies for postoperative gastric patients. So the investigators designed the trial to see safety and efficacy of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy of capecitabine combined with IMRT for stage II/II gastric cancer.

This trial is going to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two regimens of DX (docetaxel plus capecitabine)and XELOX (oxaliplatin plus capecitabine)as adjuvant chemotherapy for stage IIIb-IIIc gastric cancer patients after curative D2/D2+ operation, and to investigate the optimal adjuvant regimen for such extremely high risk patients.

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.

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)and safety of Apatinib combined with S-1 as Second-line therapy for patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

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.

Recent clinical studies have demonstrated a reduction of irinotecan (CPT-11) gastrointestinal toxicities when the CPT-11 is administered in combination with thalidomide in patients with diagnosis of gastric cancer. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of thalidomide and CPT-11 in advanced gastric cancer. The investigators will also manage to find out the possible interactions between CPT-11 pharmacokinetics and thalidomide to explain the previously described gastrointestinal toxicity reduction.

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.

This study is designed to compare the three chemotherapy regimens(TEGAFOX Sequential S-1 or SOX Sequential S-1 or SOX non-Sequential S-1) for postoperative patients with gastric cancer, observe and record the efficacy and tolerance,to evaluate which regimen is better.
