41 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Participants will have a sample of their white blood cells, called T cells, collected using a procedure called leukapheresis. The collected T cells will be sent to a laboratory at Memorial Sloan Kettering to be changed (modified) to become MSLN-targeted CAR T cells, the CAR T-cell therapy that participants will receive during the study. Participant study therapy will take about 3-4 weeks.
The purpose of this study to find out whether adding trastuzumab and pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy is an effective treatment for resectable HER2+ esophagogastric cancer.
The researchers are doing this study to find out more about what may lead to the loss of tooth enamel (the thin outer covering of the tooth) and how often it happens in people with esophagogastric cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer, or a healthy volunteer.
The purpose of this study is to see whether the study drug, amivantamab, is an effective treatment for people with EGFR- or MET-amplified esophagogastric cancer. The researchers will also look at whether amivantamab is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects in participants.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether combining nivolumab, FOLFOX, and regorafenib may be a safe and effective treatment for people who have HER2-negative metastatic esophagogastric cancer. Nivolumab is an antibody, like the proteins made by the immune system to protect the body from harm. Nivolumab blocks the protein PD-1 (programmed cell death receptor-1) that usually acts as a "brake" on the immune system. Blocking this protein is like releasing the brakes, so that the immune system can target cancer cells and destroy them. FOLFOX is a combination of three standard chemotherapy drugs (leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin) commonly used to treat your type of cancer. The drugs work by damaging the DNA in cancer cells, which can cause the cells to stop growing and die. Regorafenib is a type of drug called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). This drug targets the tyrosine kinase protein found in or on the surface of cancer cells that the cells need to survive and grow. Blocking this protein may stop cancer cells from growing, or cause them to grow more slowly or to shrink. The study researchers think that combining nivolumab, FOLFOX, and regorafenib may be a more effective treatment for HER2-negative metastatic esophagogastric cancer than the usual chemotherapy treatment(s) alone.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether treatment with trastuzumab combined with pembrolizumab will improve the clearance of tumor DNA from participants' bodies after surgery.

The purpose of the first group (Group 1) was to find the optimal time for taking pictures after injection of 89Zr-DFO-trastuzumab, to see how long it stayed in the blood, and to see how well it was tolerated. From what the investigators have learned from Group 1, patients in Group 2 no longer need serial scans or serial blood draws. This study is based on a cohort expansion. All data is appropriately reported as there is only one study cohort
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects, good and/or bad, of the drug regorafenib with chemotherapy regime (FOLFOX). This is a a Phase II trial that will study if this new treatment is effective and safe in patients with esophagus and stomach cancer.
With improvements in response rate and survival seen for HER2 positive patients treated with HER2 blockade in the metastatic setting, the use of HER2 blockade in the neoadjuvant setting to increase antitumor effect shows promise. Patients with previously untreated localized HER2 positive esophageal, GE junction and gastric adenocarcinomas will be enrolled. Patients meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive neoadjuvant treatment with concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy beginning on day 1 of treatment. During the lead-in safety portion, the optimal dose of lapatinib will be determined.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good or bad, the combination of standard chemotherapy agent paclitaxel with the investigational (experimental) drug afatinib that targets HER2, has on HER2-positive esophagogastric cancer that started to get bigger despite previous treatment with trastuzumab. The doctors will also study the tumor to understand why it grew while on trastuzumab treatment and to see the effects afatinib and paclitaxel has on the tumor.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a combination of chemotherapy, capecitabine and oxaliplatin, plus the antibodies bevacizumab and trastuzumab. Trastuzumab (also called Herceptin) is an antibody that attacks HER2 protein in tumor cells. Bevacizumab (also called Avastin) works by slowing or stopping the growth of cells in cancer tumors by decreasing the blood supply of the tumors. If blood supply is decreased, oxygen and nutrients that are needed for tumor growth are decreased. The chemotherapy used in this trial is called CAPOX, which is an abbreviation of capecitabine and oxaliplatin.
In this research study, the investigators are looking to see how effective STA-9090 is in treating esophagogastric cancer. The investigators will also evaluate the side effects of STA-9090, and examine the relationship between the presence of HSP-90 and how well study participants respond to STA-9090. STA-9090 works by blocking a protein in tumor cells called HSP90, which is thought to play a role in tumor growth. By interfering with this protein's function, STA-9090 may help kill tumor cells. This drug has been used in other research studies and information from those other research studies suggests that this agent may help to slow tumor growth in esophagogastric cancer.
This is a phase II study of taxotere, cisplatin and irinotecan (CPT-11) used in combination to treat metastatic esophageal and gastric cancer in an effort to see what effects (good and bad) the combination may have on the patients cancer.

This phase II trial tests how well olanzapine works in managing cancer cachexia in patients experiencing esophagogastric, hepatopancreaticobiliary, colorectal, or lung cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) -associated appetite loss while receiving non-curative cancer therapy. Loss of appetite ("anorexia") in the setting of cancer is a key feature of "cachexia," a syndrome associated with loss of weight and muscle as well as weakness and fatigue. Olanzapine is a drug that targets key neurotransmitters (a type of molecule in the central nervous system that transmits messages to the rest of the body) that may stimulate appetite, restore caloric intake, minimize weight loss, and improve quality of life (QOL).
