9 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to collect information on the anti-tumor activity of the combination doxorubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil when given to patients with advanced esophageal or gastric adenocarcinoma. We will also be collecting information about the side effects and safety of this combination.
This is an observational study to determine the feasibility of assessing tumor response utilizing ctDNA in patients of locally advanced esophageal and gastroesophageal junction (LA-EA/GEJ) cancer undergoing total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) consisting of systemic chemotherapy (modified FOLFOX or FLOT/DFOX) followed by concurrent chemoradiation \[50.4 Gray (Gy) over approximately six weeks with concurrent radio sensitizing dose of carboplatin/paclitaxel\].
This is a non-randomized, multi-site, open-label trial of pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in subjects with gastric or gastroesophageal (GE) junction adenocarcinoma. The purpose of this study is to determine and evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy with immune checkpoint blockade and chemotherapy used in the perioperative period in eradicating micrometastatic disease; and to compare paired tissue and serum samples (pre-treatment and post-treatment) from individually treated patients to explore the immune effects of combination therapy and predictors of response.
The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good and bad) docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and cetuximab have on gastric or GEJ cancer.
This Phase II study will assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of 1000 mg and 1500 mg lapatinib administered once daily in patients with relapsed adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, including tumors of the GE junction and gastric cardia.
The main purpose of this trial is to determine how well patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma respond to chemotherapy with epirubicin, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil followed by continuous infusion 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy given along with radiation therapy.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Oxaliplatin and fluorouracil may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy and may kill more tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving oxaliplatin together with fluorouracil and radiation therapy works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for stage II or stage III cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane®) and ramucirumab (Cyramza®) are effective when used in combination for treating patients with metastatic gastroesophageal cancer who have either progressed or not responded to prior therapy.
This study is a Phase I/II trial of Tivantinib plus FOLFOX for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. In Phase I the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) will be determined; in Phase II patients with first-line metastatic GE cancer will be treated at the MTD. It is hypothesized that the response rate (RR) will be improved from 45% to at least 65% under this regimen.
