1,598 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Gastric ultrasound has become increasingly utilized to examine volume and quality of gastric contents in the preoperative setting to guide anesthetic management and relay risk of aspiration in both adult and pediatric medicine. Gastric fluid volumes in trauma patients are thought to be elevated due to delayed gastric emptying in the setting of an over-attenuated sympathetic response to physical pain and stress, opioid analgesia, and other associated injuries (traumatic brain). However, there is a paucity of literature examining gastric fluid volumes (GFV), measured by gastric ultrasound, in the pediatric trauma population. The purpose of the study is to assess whether preoperative gastric ultrasound is an accurate method to identify pediatric trauma patients who have elevated GFV (\>0.8mL/kg) and high-risk gastric contents (solids, complex liquids, in addition to large volumes).
To compare the symptoms of patients who have a MIPG to the symptoms of patients who have a MITG.

This study is to define the safety profile and to determine the Maximal tolerated dose regimen and preliminary efficacy of AbGn-107 administered every 14 days (Q2W regimen) or 28 days (Q4W regimen) in patients with chemo-refractory locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic gastric, colorectal, pancreatic or biliary cancer.
A randomised phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 2:1 (regorafenib : placebo)
The main purpose of this study is to see whether the combination of selinexor (KPT-330) and irinotecan can help people with esophageal or stomach cancer. Researchers also want to find out if the combination of selinexor (KPT-330) and irinotecan is safe and tolerable.
The purpose of this study is to determine if doctors can use the results of special tests of subjects tumor tissue, that will look for specific abnormalities in the tumor, to choose a specific drug that is targeted to work against that abnormality (called molecular profiling) and to see what effects (good and/or bad) that targeted drug has on subjects cancer when it is given with standard chemotherapy.
This dose-escalation study is to determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and efficacy of KD019 in combination with trastuzumab and mFOLFOX-6.
The purpose of this study is to determine the following: 1. Find the maximum tolerated dose of E7050 when given in combination with cisplatin and capecitabine in patients with advance or metastatic solid tumors, and 2) Whether E7050 in combination with cisplatin and capecitabine is more effective in patients with previously untreated gastric cancer versus cisplatin and capecitabine alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ramucirumab when used in conjunction with chemotherapy treatment can help participants with stomach, esophagus, and gastroesophageal cancer.
This study is being done to develop a new method that can rapidly stage patients with gastric and pancreas cancer. Staging means finding out what is the extent of the cancer in a patient's body. Currently before patients have the surgery to remove their cancer, a surgical exam is done in the operating room to see if their cancer has spread. A thin tube-like instrument with lens and a light is placed into the abdomen. This is done by making small cuts into the body. This exam is called a diagnostic laparoscopy. If cancer spread is not seen, fluid is put into the abdomen and then taken out. This is called "lavage" or washing. The fluid is then looked at in a laboratory. If the fluid contains cancer cells surgery is often delayed. The investigators are testing a new method to put the fluid into the abdomen. It is called percutaneous lavage. Percutaneous means "through the skin". A needle is put through the skin into the abdomen. Tubing is then placed over the needle so that fluid can be put into the abdomen and then taken out. The fluid is then looked at in a laboratory. The investigators want to see if the two methods are equal because if they are equal, in the future, patients may be able to have this procedure done outside of the operating room.
Long term follow-up of patients treated for esophageal fistulas with a newer occlusive self-expanding covered metal stents compared to traditional stents.
The purpose of this study is to gather information about the use of an investigational drug called Ramucirumab in adenocarcinomas of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction.
This study is being done to find out how effective a new treatment strategy is on your cancer. In this strategy, the response your tumor has to the first cycle of therapy will help select the next treatments. We also will find out the effects, both good and/or bad, a drug called bevacizumab has on you and your tumor when given with chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between gastric residence time of the SmartPill Capsule and the time required for partial emptying of a standard radiolabeled meal as measured by gastric emptying scintigraphy for subjects 65 years of age and older.
To assess the response rate of huC242-DM4 given as an intravenous infusion to patients with metastatic or locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find out how you feel about the quality of your life after having had surgery to remove your stomach tumor. Some patients continue to experience different problems after stomach surgery, even when the surgery was more than three years ago. The purpose of this study is to find out the specific things that may continue to affect patients' quality of life after a major operation.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if a combination of 5-FU, Folinic Acid and Oxaliplatin, given with radiation therapy, is effective in the treatment of gastric or gastroesophageal cancers that will be removed by surgery if possible. The safety of this combination therapy will also be studied.
This is a phase II study that will investigate weekly dosing of docetaxel in combination with capecitabine in advanced gastric and gastro-esophageal adenocarcinomas.
The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between gastric residence time of the SmartPill Capsule and the time required for partial emptying of a standard radiolabeled meal as measured by gastric emptying scintigraphy.
This study is used by the Digestive Diseases Branch to evaluate patients with suspected abnormalities in the secretion of gastric acid. The level of gastric acid is measured by analyzing the gastric juices of each individual patient. The gastric acid sample is obtained by a procedure known as nasogastric suctioning, where a thin plastic tube is passed from the nose to the stomach. Depending on the patient's present condition further diagnostic testing may be required to achieve a diagnosis.
The aim of this study is to determine whether a modified fasting protocol can reduce the potential risk of aspiration for patients currently prescribed GLP1-RAs.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the stomach emptying function using a current standard meal which includes eggs and our new vegan meal alternatives for patients who are not able to eat eggs.
Dyspepsia is a common problem attributed to gastric sensorimotor dysfunctions ie, delayed, or less frequently rapid gastric emptying (GE), impaired gastric accommodation, and increased gastric sensation. Therapeutic options manage symptoms, and there is no FDA approved medical therapy for dyspepsia. There is a need for better objective understanding of sensorimotor dysfunction in dyspepsia, as well as noninvasive, efficacious, safe, and inexpensive treatments for dyspepsia. The purpose of this research is to identify disturbances and characterize phenotypes in patients with functional dyspepsia, and to assess the correlations between symptoms (during the manometry and in daily life), gastric emptying, electrical activity (BSGM), and pressure activity (manometry).
The main purpose of this study is to compare the bioavailability of 3 different formulations of LY4100511 and if the use of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) alters the bioavailability of the 3 different formulations.
This study is open to adults with advanced cancer of the colon, rectum, stomach, or pancreas, that is the cancer cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. People can take part in this study if their previous treatment was not successful, or no other treatment exists. The study aims to find the highest dose for the study medicine called BI 765049 that people with advanced cancer can tolerate. Another purpose is to find the most suitable dose and best way of administration of BI 765049 for further clinical development. BI 765049 may help the immune system fight cancer. Participants receive BI 765049 at least once every 3 weeks. Participants may continue to get BI 765049 treatment as long as they benefit from treatment but no longer than 3 years. During this time, participants regularly visit the study site. The study visits include several overnight stays at the hospital. At the visits, study doctors check participants' health, take necessary laboratory tests, and note any unwanted effects. Unwanted effects are any health problems that the doctors think were caused by the study medicine or treatment. To find the highest dose of BI 765049 that participants can tolerate, researchers look at the number of participants with certain severe health problems. These are severe health problems that happen within 1 week after the first treatment with the intended dose.
Functional dyspepsia and gastroparesis are common stomach disorders with symptoms like early satiety, nausea, and abdominal pain, and are often evaluated with gastric emptying tests, although the correlation with symptoms is weak. Prokinetic agents (e.g., metoclopramide, erythromycin) and symptom modulators (e.g., nortriptyline, mirtazapine) are commonly used, but selecting the right medication can be difficult, as it's often based on symptoms rather than the underlying gastric issues. Body Surface Gastric Mapping (BSGM) using the Gastric Alimetry device is a novel, non-invasive tool to assess gastric myoelectrical activity and symptoms. This study aims to perform two BSGM recordings-one before and one after medical therapy-to understand how medications affect gastric function and identify baseline BSGM factors that could predict responses to treatment, potentially guiding tailored therapies based on individual gastric dysfunction.
This is a proof of principle clinical trial determining efficacy of single dose dualimmune checkpoint inhibitors to increase intra-tumoral T cells in esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, and gastric adenocarcinomas. These are subjects who have not previously been treated for their disease, who are willing to undergo biopsy procedures, who's disease has not spread to other parts of the body, who's tumors have ARID1A mutations.
Hospitalized infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and feeding intolerance will be randomized to 2 weeks of continuous gastric feeding or continuous transpyoloric feeding. Subjects will crossover after 2 weeks and receive 4 weeks of each feeding mode. Respiratory status will be assessed to determine the optimal feeding mode for each infant.
Studies have shown that even following the fasting guideline, patients on GLP-1 still have residual gastric content which increases their risk of aspiration during anesthesia. We aim to investigate the prevalence of full stomachs following different fasting times.
