CPAP for Esophageal Cancer With Radiotherapy
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the use of CPAP in patients with esophgaeal cancer undergoing radiotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: does use of CPAP decrease exposure of normal lung to radiation? does use of CPAP decrease exposure of normal heart to radiation? …
The Efficacy of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in Comparison With Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients With Resectable Squamous Cell Esophageal Cancer
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility and outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by esophagectomy versus neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by esophagectomy for locally advanced resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cT3-4aN0M0, cT1-4aN1-3M0. This is non-inferiority study (neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy has no advantage over neoadjuvant chemotherapy).
A Study Involving Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy With Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Patients With Esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma
An open-label, single-centre, non-randomized, Phase II trial in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. This study aims to show that delivering hypofractionated neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy is is equally effective as conventionally fractionated neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
Study of Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Antibody Plus Apatinib as Second-Line Treatment of Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell
The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anti-PD-1 antibody SHR-1210 or Anti-PD-L1 antibody SHR-1316 plus apatinib as second-line treatment of advanced esophageal squamous cell.
Temozolomide + Nivolumab in MGMT Methylated Oesophagogastric Cancer
An open label single arm phase II trial in patients with advanced unresectable previously treated oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma which is MGMT deficient.
To Observe the Benefit of Adding Brachytherapy After CCRT on Resectable Esophageal Cancer Patients Without Surgery
Clinical experience of adding intraluminal brachytherapy with traditional applicator after definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for local-regional thoracic esophageal cancer is limited due to high complication risk and non-superiority in survival. The innovative applicator can maximize the therapeutic efficacy by reducing dose inhomogeneity in the esophageal wall, which will translate into …
Hypoxia Imaging for Esophageal Cancer to Guide Personalized Radiation Therapy
This is a Phase I trial evaluating the safety of personalized radiation therapy based on levels of hypoxia identified on FMISO-PET and MRI. All patients will receive a baseline FMISO positron emission tomography (PET) and MRI to identify levels of hypoxia. Patients with tumor hypoxia will receive a higher dose …
Salvage Chemoradiation Therapy for Recurrence After Radical Surgery or Palliative Surgery in Esophageal Cancer Patients
Currently, adjuvant therapy is not recommended for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received radical surgery. However, the recurrence rate is as high as 23.8%-58%, and the median time-to-recurrence is about 10.5 months. In patients who had residual tumor after surgery, evidence lacks for chemoradiation. The aim of the …
Liquid Biopsies in Esophageal Cancer
Purpose of this study is to determine the value of liquid biopsies, e.g. testing of minimal residual disease (MRD) by using liquid biopsies to measure circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) at diagnosis and during the multimodal and multidisciplinary curative-intent treatment of resectable esophageal cancer.
DCE-MRI Based on 4D Free Breathing for Predicting Preoperative Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Esophageal Cancer
To prospectively collect medical images and clinical data related to esophageal cancer using 4D Free Breathing DCE-MRI technology, to evaluate the image quality in the diagnosis of esophageal cancer, and to predict the efficacy of preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer.
