Respiratory Strength Training in Heart Transplant Recipients
This research study is investigating whether completing breathing exercises before surgery helps heart transplant patients recover after surgery. Previous studies have shown that breathing exercises can improve breathing, cough, and swallow function in patients with other diseases/conditions. The current study will investigate the impact of a preoperative respiratory muscle strength …
Impact of CES1 Genotype on Capecitabine Exposure in Cancer Patients
In this study, the drug capecitabine is investigated. Capecitabine is commonly used to treat breast, colon, and stomach cancers. Capecitabine is taken in tablet form. In the body, capecitabine is converted into the active molecule that has anti-cancer effects. This molecule is called 5-FU. The transformation of capecitabine to 5-FU …
Induction Chemoimmunotherapy Combined With Chemoradiotherapy in Esophageal Cancer
Although unprecedented advances have been made in the field of esophageal cancer in recent decades, the prognosis for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains extremely poor, accounting for 30-40% of overall survival at 5 year. In recent years, multimodal treatments have proven to be an appropriate …
Dumping Syndrome and Esophageal Atresia
Dumping syndrome (DS) is frequent in oesophageal atresia (29%). In causing hypoglycaemia, it can be dangerous for neonates. Mechanisms of DS are actually partialy understood. This is also an affection difficult to diagnose, because it only occurs after meals and can be inconstantly present. To date, their is only symptomatic …
C2 Esophageal Squamous Epithelium Dysplasia
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of C2 CryoBalloonTM Ablation System for the cryoablation of dysplastic squamous tissue in patients with moderate to severe esophageal squamous epithelium dysplasia.
Proton Therapy for Esophageal Cancer
The goal of this phase II study is to investigate the feasibility, toxicity and efficacy of a regimen incorporating a proven systemic regimen, carboplatin /paclitaxel, with conformal proton modality, followed by definitive surgery. In most combined-modality trials to date, chemotherapy regimens have included cisplatin, usually in conjunction with 5-fluorouracil. In …
Comparison of 0.4% Hyaluronic Acid Solution Versus Hydroxyethylamide Solution in Submucosal Endoscopic Resections
This is a randomized, single-center clinical trial that will compare the efficacy of two substances used in the submucosal cushion formation stage of endoscopic submucosal resections of early esophageal malignant neoplasms. Such substances are hyaluronic acid in the form of TS-905 Blue Eyeₒ and hydroxyethylamide (Voluven®).
A Phase II Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Itraconazole on Pathologic Complete Response Rates in Resectable Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer, which has a low 5-year overall survival rate (\<20%) is increasing in incidence. Previous studies have shown that Hedgehog, AKT, and angiogenic signaling pathways are activated in a significant number of esophageal cancers. Itraconazole, a widely used anti-fungal medication, effectively inhibits these pathways. In this multi-site phase II …
Functional Imaging to Identify Radiosensitive Esophageal Cancer - a Biomarker Validation Study
This trial on biomarker validation investigates the use of innovative re-staging FDG-PET parameters to detect highly chemoradiation (CRT) sensitive squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus (SCEC) at the end of preoperative or definitive CRT.
Multicenter Cohort Study of ESD and Chemo-radiotherapy for High-risk Early-stage Esophageal Cancer
This multicenter, prospective observational cohort study has the potential to optimize individualized chemoradiotherapy regimen for early-stage esophageal cancer patients who have received endoscopic submucosal dissection.
