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 …
Intraoperative Imaging of Gastrointestinal Malignancies Using Pafolacianine (CYTALUX™)
This is an open-label study in adults to determine feasibility of using CYTALUX™ (pafolacianine) injection with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent imaging for detecting any type adenocarcinoma (gastric, esophageal and appendiceal).
Clinical Application of PET Imaging Targeting CLDN18.2 in Malignant Tumors
The project aims to perform integrated PET/MR or PET/CT imaging in patients with histologically confirmed or clinically suspected gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, or other malignant tumors with high Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) expression, as well as healthy volunteers. This study utilizes a CLDN18.2-specific PET imaging probe (e.g., \[\^68Ga\]Ga-labeled humanized antibody fragment) …
Proximal Versus Total Gastrectomy for Locally Advanced Siewert Type II-III Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
This multicenter prospective randomized clinical trial aims to compare the safety and oncological effectiveness of proximal gastrectomy and total gastrectomy in patients with locally advanced Siewert type II-III gastroesophageal junction cancer. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to undergo either proximal gastrectomy or total gastrectomy using open, laparoscopic, or robotic …
Rehabilitation of Airway Protection in Parkinson's Disease
Airway protective disorders are a prevalent and progressive consequence of Parkinson's Disease (PD), and often result in aspiration pneumonia which is the leading cause of death in PD. Despite this, a large number of patients with PD do not access specialized services to address these critical deficits. The investigators will …
The Effect of an Auditory Rhythmic Cue on the Frequency of Rolling in Patients with Dysphagia and Parkinson's Disease
The main objective of this clinical study is to measure the effect of rhythmic auditory cueing, introduced in rehabilitation with three weekly sessions over a period of 7 weeks, on the frequency of rolling in idiopathic Parkinson's disease patients using pharyngography (swallowing radiography). The primary question of this study is: …
A Digital Therapeutic Platform for Swallowing and Drooling Problems in Parkinson's
The purpose of this study is the development and early-stage validation of a wearable sensor for dysphagia in patients with PD.
Biomechanical Effects of EMST® on Swallowing Function in Parkinson's Disease
The aim of this non-randomized intervention study is to investigate the detailed effects of a structured four-week EMST® training program on the biomechanics of swallowing function in dysphagic Parkinson's patients. A combination of fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and pharyngeal high-resolution manometry (HRM) will be employed to comprehensively evaluate …
Preoperative Predictors of Symptom Improvement After Laparoscopic Fundoplication
Laparoscopic fundoplication is the standard operation for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) that does not respond adequately to medication, and it relieves reflux symptoms in most patients who are carefully selected for it. Even so, published studies consistently report that between 10% and 30% of patients continue to have symptoms afterwards, …
Surgery or Chemoradiotherapy for Cervical Esophageal Cancer
To compare surgery with definitive chemoradiotherapy for patients with resectable cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
