CCRT Followed by PD-1 Inhibitor Maintenance Therapy in Locally Advanced ESCC
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by immunotherapy as maintenance therapy works to treat locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer in adults.
PET/CT Imaging to Evaluate Cardiac Radiation Damage in Patients With Lung or Esophageal Cancer, EUCLID Trial
This clinical trial examines positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in evaluating cardiac radiation damage in patients with lung or esophageal cancer. As part of the treatment for lung or esophageal cancer, patients will undergo radiation therapy. Sometimes, during this treatment, the heart is also subjected to some radiation which …
The Australia and New Zealand Multicentre Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Tissue Resection Study
To determine the long term outcomes of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD), Endoscopic Full Thickness Resection (EFTR) and Submucosal-Tunnelling Endoscopic Resection (STER) for upper gastrointestinal neoplastic lesions
Wearable Biofeedback for Swallowing Disorders Rehabilitation in Stroke and Parkinson Disease
Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, is a common symptom of many neurological diseases but its treatment is not well established or easily accessible. To start addressing this gap, the researchers developed and validated a cost-effective wearable surface electromyography (sEMG) biofeedback sensor technology (i-Phagia), optimized to record muscle activity from the head/neck …
Combined Respiratory Training in Persons With ALS
The goal of this interventional trial is to learn about lung volume recruitment (LVR) and expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) in a total of up to 39 patients diagnosed with ALS. The following aims will be addressed: Determine the impact of combined LVR and EMST on cough strength and respiratory …
Apixaban-PK Trial: Preventing Portal Hypertension Complications in Cirrhosis
The APIXABAN-PK trial is a prospective, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apixaban in combination with carvedilol versus placebo with carvedilol in preventing portal hypertension-related complications in patients with cirrhosis. Conducted at the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Department and Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) of Asian …
Penpulimab Plus Chemotherapy With/Without Anlotinib for Patients With Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Penpulimab plus chemotherapy with or without Anlotinib as first-line therapy for patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (Answer): A randomized two-arm clinical study.
Effect of Botulinum Toxin Injection Into Upper Esophageal Sphincter in Patients With Medullary Infarction
Dysphagia is an important complication in patients with medullary infarction, the incidence rate is 57%-69%. Compared with other brain infarctions, the medulla oblongata involves multiple swallowing-related nerve nuclei, and the possibility of brain remodeling after injury is small. Dysphagia has become a prominent clinical problem in patients with medullary infarction, …
Radiotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer Responding to PD-1 Inhibitor Plus Chemotherapy
The treatment efficacy for stage IVb esophageal cancer has been improved through chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy recently. On this basis, the investigators intend to conduct a prospective, multicenter phase II clinical trial to assess whether radiotherapy could further improve the survival of patients with metastatic esophageal cancer responding to PD-1 …
Cognitive-behavioral Therapy for the Diseases Associated With Esophageal-brain-gut Axis Communication Abnormalities.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a challenging gastrointestinal disorder, and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are typically the first line of treatment. However, up to 40% of GERD patients experience little to no relief or only partial relief of their symptoms after receiving PPI therapy. Among these patients, who do not …
