Consolidation of Toripalimab and Capecitabine After Chemoradiotherapy in ESCC
Definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is the standard treatment for locally advanced unresectable esophageal cancer, but its efficacy remains unsatisfactory. More importantly, there is a lack of effective consolidation treatment after CRT, resulting in a high recurrence rate. Our previous prospective phase II trial (EC-CRT-001) demonstrated that the addition of toripalimab to …
Endoscopic Vacuum Therapy for Transmural Defects in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the best indications and techniques regarding endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) in patients with a transmural defect in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract (e.g. anastomotic leakage, Boerhaave syndrome, iatrogenic perforation, other). The main questions it aims to answer are: What is …
Predicting Early Tumor Recurrence in Patients With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The prognosis of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who develop post-operative early tumor recurrence is often relatively poor. Therefore, biomarker that can detect micro metastases before the start of treatment is required. Epigenomic alterations such as DNA methylation have attracted attention as promising biomarkers. The investigators aim to …
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: an 8-week Trimodal Pre-habilitation Program for Patients With Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Oesogastric
This is a prospective, multicenter, two-cohort, open-label, single-arm feasibility study of a trimodal (nutritional, psychological, and personalized Adapted Physical Activity (APA)-individualized interventions) 8-week prehabilitation program in patients with localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) or oesogastric cancer (OGC) receiving peri-operative triple chemotherapy and undergoing surgery.
Brachytherapy With Radiotherapy and Immunotherapy: Guided HDR Trial in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy can improve outcomes in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who have already received external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), chemotherapy, and the immune therapy drug nivolumab. The main questions it aims to answer are: …
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.
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 …
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.
Exercise Training After Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgery
This randomized controlled trial aims to determine the optimal exercise intensity for improving postoperative recovery in patients with upper gastrointestinal cancer. Participants who have undergone curative surgery will be randomly assigned to high-intensity interval training (HIIT), low-intensity continuous training (LICT), or usual care. The exercise interventions will be performed under …
