Robot-assisted Thoracic Approach Versus Open Transthoracic Esophagectomy .
This is a randomized controlled trial designed to compare robot-assisted thoracic approach with open transthoracic esophagectomy (Ivor Lewis technique) as a surgical treatment for resectable esophageal cancer. If our hypothesis is proved correct, robot-assisted thoracic approach will result in a lower percentage of respiratory and overall postoperative complications, lower blood …
POP-UP: a Single-arm, Two-cohort Study: Trimodal Prehab for Upper GI and Pancreatic Cancer
This is a multicenter, two-cohort, open-label, single-arm feasibility study. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of the 8-week trimodal prehabilitation program alongside perioperative triplet chemotherapy in eligible patients with localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) or oesogastric cancer (OGC) .
Intestinal Low Dose Radiotherapy Combined With Immunotherapy in Immune-resistant Metastatic Malignant Solid Tumors
Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that intestinal low-dose radiotherapy (ILDR) may enhance antitumor immune responses by modulating the gut microenvironment, thereby improving the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICBs) in refractory solid tumors. Based on these findings, the investigators initiate a multicohort phase II clinical trial to evaluate the clinical …
Ramucirumab and Pembrolizumab vs Pembrolizumab Monotherapy in PD-L1 Positive Head and Neck Squamous-Cell Carcinoma
This is a phase 2 study investigating the efficacy of ramucirumab in combination with pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy. Ramucirumab is a VEGFR-2 inhibitor believed to potentially enhance the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors such as pembrolizumab.
Acupuncture as the Therapeutic Modalities of Acute Toxicity in the Radiotherapy of Head and Neck Tumors
The aim of the study is to evaluate the benefit of the acupuncture as healing modalities in the therapy of acute toxicity of radiotherapy.
Fluorescence Image Guided Foregut Surgery
A high number of resected lymph nodes is an independent prognostic factor for improved survival after esophagectomy or gastrectomy for cancer. The quality of the lymphadenectomy is operator-dependent, as is the evaluation of the vascularization of the digestive structures that are anastomosed to restore digestive continuity after esophago-gastric resection. The …
A Study of Pembrolizumab With Trastuzumab and Chemotherapy in People With Esophagogastric Cancer
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.
Chemoradiotherapy in Unresectable Esophageal Cancer
This phase I/II clinical study is designed to evaluate the 1 year local tumor control rate of chemoradiotherapy using albumin-bound paclitaxel and cisplatin in unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinomas based on Nutritional Risk Screening NRS2002.
Magnetic Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Upper Gastro-Intestinal Cancer: A Feasibility Clinical Investigation
This is a multi-centre, partially blinded, side-by-side comparator study to assess the safety and tolerability, feasibility, and potential added diagnostic and clinical value of using the FerroTrace® and FerroMag Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping (SLNM) System for mapping sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in subjects with gastric, gastric-oesophageal junction, and oesophageal cancers, …
Repurposing Riluzole for Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment: A Pilot Trial
This is a phase 2a, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial determining the impact of riluzole therapy on circulating brain derived neuropathic factor (BDNF) levels of cancer survivors with cancer related cognitive impairment.
