Chemoradiotherapy in Elderly Patients With Oesophagus Cancer
Management of elderly patient with cancer is a therapeutic challenge and a public health problem. The mean age of esophageal cancer is 64.5 years and 72.1 years in men and women respectively. Surgery is a standard treatment reserved to about 30 % of patients. The other 70 % are considered …
Postoperative Radiotherapy Followed by Immunotherapy for Locally Advanced Esophageal Carcinoma
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is a common malignancy in China. Although neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by esophagectomy remains a standard modality for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, esophagectomy followed by postoperative radiotherapy is also prevalent in China. Several retrospective studies demonstrated that postoperative radiotherapy could improve the prognosis of patients. …
APG-2449 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
APG-2449 is a novel, orally active, multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which inhibits FAK, ALK, and ROS1 with nanomolar potencies. In preclinical studies, APG-2449 demonstrated potent antiproliferative activity in various cancer cell lines as a single agent. In combination treatment, APG-2449 enhanced anti-proliferative activities of several chemotherapeutic and targeted agents. It …
Effect of Dupilumab on the Muscle Function of the Esophagus (food Pipe) in Participants with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
The goal of this study is to research Dupilumab, an FDA approved medication in treating patients diagnosed with Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The drug works by controlling allergic inflammation of the esophagus. The esophagus is a food pipe that transfers food from the mouth into the stomach. Participants with EoE have …
A Study of Dupilumab in Small Children With an Allergic Condition of the Esophagus (Food Pipe): Eosinophilic Esophagitis
This study is researching an experimental drug called dupilumab (called "study drug"). The study is focused on children with active eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE; an inflammatory disease of the esophagus) which impacts feeding and nourishment. The aim of the study is to see how safe, tolerable, and effective the study drug …
Oral TGF-beta Receptor I Inhibitor Vactosertib in SOC Chemoradiotherapy for Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
This interventional clinical trial aims to find ways of improving treatments for individuals with esophageal cancer. Laboratory-based studies show that using medicines that affect a protein called TGF-beta (TGFβ) can kill esophageal cancer cells in individuals who have localized esophageal adenocarcinoma and are being considered for standard-of-care chemoradiation prior to …
Evaluating the Effect of Itraconazole on Pathologic Complete Response Rates in Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer, which has a low 5-year overall survival rate for all stages (<20%) , is increasing in incidence. Previous studies have shown that the Hedgehog (Hh) and AKT signaling pathways are activated in a significant proportion of esophageal cancers. Itraconazole, a widely used anti-fungal medication, has been shown to …
Serial MRI Scans During Radiation Therapy
This is a phase 1 study to determine the feasibility and utility of using serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess treatment response during and after radiation therapy (standard of care cancer treatment) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study …
Perioperative Analgesia Modes in Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy
This study was designed to compare analgesic efficacy and safety of different perioperative analgesic modes in minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Oral Frailty, Dysphagia, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the CPAP treatment on oral frailty and dysphagia among OSA patients.
