Stomach Neoplasms

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer, with over one million cases diagnosed annually worldwide. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression in GC (seen in 4.4% to 53.4% of patients in different reports) is predictive biomarker of response to HER2-targeting therapies. Trastuzumab in combination with cisplatin or oxaliplatin, and a fluoropyrimidine (capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil \[5-FU\]), is approved anti-HER2 therapy for first-line treatment of HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. Rilvegostomig 750 mg Q3W was selected as recommended Phase 2 dose based on all available ARTEMIDE-01 clinical safety, efficacy, PK, RO data as well as modeling analysis. The dose of 750 mg Q3W is predicted to achieve intra-tumoral RO of ≥ 90% in the majority of participants across a broad spectrum of conditions. This is a phase II study to initially assess the efficacy of perioperative Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) and Capecitabine combination with or without Rilvegostomig in patients with HER2 positive locally advanced unresectable GC and potentially by subsequent protocol amendment in HER2 low locally advanced GC. Other agents may also subsequently be assessed in this protocol, by protocol amendments . \---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Therefore, these studies provide robust evidence that immune checkpoint inhibitors plus chemotherapy, specifically the perioperative durvalumab plus FLOT regimen, can increase pCR rate and significantly improve long-term survival outcomes for patients with resectable gastric, GEJ, or esophageal cancer.

Background: * Malignant mesothelioma is a malignancy arising from the mesothelial cells of the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, or tunica vaginalis. * Mesothelioma accounts for 0.10% of deaths annually in the United States. Malignant pleural mesothelioma is the most common of these, comprising of 80% of the cases with an annual incidence of about 2,500 in the United States. * The median survival from diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma is approximately 12 months. The majority of patients present with stage III or IV disease with 85-90% of patients considered unresectable at diagnosis. * Peritoneal mesothelioma has a better prognosis than pleural mesothelioma; nevertheless, patients undergoing therapy for peritoneal mesothelioma have few well-studied treatment options due in large part to the rarity of the disease. * In addition to mesothelioma, mesothelin is highly expressed in several cancers, including pancreatic, biliary adenocarcinomas, gastric and ovarian cancers; mesothelin is also expressed in a significantly larger proportion of thymic carcinoma than thymoma. Objectives: -To allow sample acquisition for use in the study of mesothelioma. Eligibility: * All participants age greater than or equal to 2 years with malignant mesothelioma OR * All participants greater than or equal to 18 years with thymic carcinoma, pancreatic or biliary adenocarcinoma or lung, gastric or ovarian cancers or other solid tumor known to express mesothelin * Must be able and willing to provide informed consent if 18 or over; parent or guardian must be able and willing to provide consent for patients under the age of 18 Design: * Up to 1000 subjects will be enrolled. * Patients will be followed to determine the course of disease and to record any treatment received for mesothelioma. * Patients will undergo sampling of blood, urine, tumor and abnormal body fluids for tissue banking. * Studies which may be performed on banked material include genetic and genomic studies, establishment of cell cultures and immunologic studies.

Magnifying endoscopy provides high-resolution images that enhance the detection of early gastrointestinal lesions. However, conventional manual zoom techniques require frequent focal adjustments, which can be technically demanding and may compromise image stability, especially in complex anatomical settings. This study evaluates a novel one-click autofocus system based on image recognition and computer vision algorithms. The system automatically adjusts focal distance within seconds, eliminating the need for manual operation. This trial aims to compare the efficiency and image quality of one-click autofocus versus segmented manual focus in patients undergoing magnifying endoscopy for gastric diseases. A tandem randomized controlled trial will be conducted to assess procedure time, image clarity score, and operator satisfaction between the two techniques.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of LY4257496 alone and as part of relevant standard of care (SOC) combination therapy in participants with Gastrin-releasing Peptide Receptor (GRPR)-positive advanced cancer, including but not limited to breast, colorectal, prostate, endometrial, esophageal, gastroesophageal (GE) junction, and gastric cancer. The study will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of LY4257529 to identify cancer with high levels of a protein called GRPR. This is a 2-part study. Participation could last up to 36 weeks or until your tumor progresses.

Background: Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that grows in the linings of the body; this can include the membranes that line the heart, lungs, and internal organs. Mesothelin (MSLN) is a protein that appears in high numbers in many tumors, including mesothelioma. Researchers are developing a new treatment that collects a person s own immune cells (T cells); the T cells are genetically modified to target and kill tumor cells with high levels of MSLN. Objective: To test a new treatment (TNhYP218 CAR T cells) in people with solid tumors including mesothelioma. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older with solid tumors including mesothelioma that returned or spread after standard treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. A small piece of tissue will be cut from a tumor (biopsy). The sample will be tested to see if it has enough MSLN. Participants will undergo leukapheresis: Blood will be taken from their body through a vein. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the T cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different vein. Participant s T cells will be modified in a lab to produce TNhYP218 CAR T cells. Participants will enter the hospital. For 7 days, they will receive drugs to prepare their bodies for the study treatment. TNhYP218 CAR T cells will be administered into a vein. Participants will remain in the hospital for at least 7 more days. After discharge, participants will have follow-up visits for 5 years. These visits may include imaging scans, blood and heart tests, and a new biopsy. Long-term follow-up will continue another 10 years....

This is a study of LY4337713 in participants with certain types of cancer that is advanced or has spread. Participants must have cancer with high levels of a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP). The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, side effects, and efficacy of LY4337713. In addition, this study will evaluate how much LY4337713 gets into the bloodstream, how it is broken down, and how long it takes the body to get rid of it. For each participant, the study will last about 5 years.

The safety, tolerability, and determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination therapy were first evaluated for IAH0968 in combination with or without the CAPEOX regimen in unsystematically treated subjects with HER2-expressing advanced/metastatic colorectal or gastric cancers (including adenocarcinomas of the gastro-esophageal junction) or HER2-hypo-expressing advanced/metastatic solid tumors. The efficacy of IAH0968 in combination with the CAPEOX regimen versus trastuzumab in combination with the CAPEOX regimen in subjects with HER2-positive advanced/metastatic gastric cancer, including gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma, was then assessed by progression-free survival (PFS) and OS according to the Research and Evaluation Criteria for the Evaluation of Efficacy in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.

The purpose of this prospective, single-center, phase II study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of combining first-line systemic therapy plus immunotherapy with personalized ultrafractionated stereotactic adaptive radiation therapy (PULSAR) in patients with unresectable locally advanced gastric cancer.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of SP1000 and conventional laparoscopy in radical gastrectomy for proximal gastric cancer.

This trial will look at a drug called sigvotatug vedotin (SGN-B6A) alone and with pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to find out whether it is safe for people who have solid tumors. It will study sigvotatug vedotin to find out what its side effects are. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. It will also study whether sigvotatug vedotin works to treat solid tumors. The study will have four parts. * Part A of the study will find out how much sigvotatug vedotin should be given to participants. * Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is and if it works to treat solid tumors. * Part C of the study will find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is in combination with these other drugs. * Part D will include people who have not received treatment. This part of the study will find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is in combination with these other drugs and if these combinations work to treat solid tumors. * In Parts C and D, participants will receive sigvotatug vedotin with either: * Pembrolizumab or, * Pembrolizumab and carboplatin, or * Pembrolizumab and cisplatin.

This is a randomized, controlled, multicenter phase II clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of conversion therapy combined with radical gastrectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy targeting para-aortic (station 16) lymph nodes in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and isolated station 16 nodal metastases. Eligible participants must have no evidence of peritoneal dissemination, visceral metastases, or non-regional lymphatic spread. Based on PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS), patients in the experimental arm will receive systemic therapy with SOX (S-1 plus oxaliplatin) with or without a PD-1 inhibitor, followed by D2 gastrectomy and postoperative adjuvant SOX chemotherapy, then intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) to the para-aortic region. The control arm will receive standard chemotherapy with CAPEOX or SOX, with or without immunotherapy, according to CPS status. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS), with secondary endpoints including overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety. This study aims to explore whether the addition of locoregional treatment to systemic therapy improves long-term outcomes in this select patient population.

This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, phase 2 trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of serlulimab combined with nab-paclitaxel plus SOX versus nab-paclitaxel plus SOX alone as neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced GC or AEG. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if serlulimab combined with nab-paclitaxel plus SOX as neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced AEG/GC. It will also learn about the safety of serlulimab combined with nab-paclitaxel plus SOX. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does serlulimab increase the pCR of participants with locally advanced AEG/GC ? What medical problems do participants have when taking serlulimab? Researchers will compare to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if serlulimab combined with nab-paclitaxel plus SOX as neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced AEG/GC. Participants will: Eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive serlulimab (4.5 mg intravenously on day 1) combined with chemotherapy (nap-paclitaxel 260 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1, OXA 130mg/ /m2, intravenously on days 1, and S-1 40 to 60 mg orally twice daily depending on BSA on days 1 to 14) or chemotherapy alone every 3 weeks for 3 preoperative cycles followed by 3 postoperative cycles. All patients will be followed for survival.

This clinical trial is studying advanced solid tumors. Solid tumors are cancers that start in a part of your body like your lungs or liver instead of your blood. Once tumors have grown bigger in one place but haven't spread, they're called locally advanced. If your cancer has spread to other parts of your body, it's called metastatic. When a cancer has gotten so big it can't easily be removed or has spread to other parts of the body, it is called unresectable. These types of cancer are harder to treat. Participants in this study must have cancer that has come back or did not get better with treatment. Participants must have a solid tumor cancer that can't be treated with standard of care drugs. This clinical trial uses an experimental drug called PF-08046050. PF-08046050 is a type of antibody-drug conjugate or ADC. ADCs are designed to stick to cancer cells and kill them. They may also stick to some normal cells. This study will test the safety of PF-08046050 in participants with solid tumors that are hard to treat or have spread throughout the body. This study has 5 different study parts. Part A and Part B of the study will find out how much PF-08046050 should be given to participants. Part C will use the information from Parts A and B to see if PF-08046050 is safe and if it works to treat certain solid tumor cancers. Part D and E of the study, together with information from Parts A and B, will find out how much PF-08046050 should be given in combination with other anti-cancer agents. Part E will use the information from Parts A, B, and D to see if PF-08046050 is safe in combination with other anti-cancer agents and if it works to treat a certain solid tumor.

The main objective of this study is the translation, linguistic adaptation into Spanish, and validation of the Korean quality of life questionnaire KOQUSS-40. This tool will allow us to objectively measure the quality of life of patients in clinical trials.

Estimating the prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori infection in newly diagnosed stomach cancers in the West-Indies will help to understand the epidemiology of this cancer, which is over-incident in the West Indies compared to France. In addition, the constitution of a biobank (tumor tissues, healthy tissues and serum) will allow to set up in a second time etiological studies to identify other risk factors in particular in connection with the exposure to environmental pollutants to adapt the prevention measures.

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 surgical approaches according to clinical suitability. The primary outcome of the study is 3-year disease-free survival. Secondary outcomes include postoperative mortality, postoperative complications, and the number of metastatic lymph nodes retrieved. Patients will be followed for up to five years after surgery to evaluate long-term oncological outcomes.

Gastric adenomas with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) are considered precancerous lesions of the stomach. While these lesions carry a lower risk of progressing to gastric cancer compared with high-grade dysplasia, there is still uncertainty about the best way to manage them. International medical guidelines differ in their recommendations, and for very small lesions (1 cm or smaller), some guidelines provide no clear direction. This creates uncertainty for both patients and physicians about whether to treat these lesions or simply observe them over time. Two endoscopic treatment methods are widely used in clinical practice: endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and argon plasma coagulation (APC). EMR involves lifting and cutting out the lesion. Its major advantage is that it removes the lesion completely and allows for detailed pathological examination. However, EMR can be technically more demanding, takes more time, and may carry higher risks of complications such as bleeding or perforation. It also usually involves higher medical costs. In contrast, APC is a technique that uses ionized argon gas and electrical current to coagulate tissue without direct contact. APC is simpler to perform, takes less time, and is generally less invasive. Patients undergoing APC may have shorter hospital stays, lower costs, and fewer complications. However, APC does not provide a specimen for pathology, so complete removal of the lesion cannot be confirmed. This means there is a possibility of local recurrence. Several retrospective studies have examined APC for gastric LGD, and results have suggested it may be effective for small lesions. However, recurrence rates reported in previous studies have varied widely, from less than 2% to more than 20%. Importantly, no large randomized controlled trial has directly compared APC with EMR for small gastric LGD lesions. This study seeks to fill that gap. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness and safety of APC and EMR for treating gastric adenomas that are 1 cm or smaller with low-grade dysplasia. Specifically, the study aims to determine whether APC is "non-inferior" to EMR in preventing local recurrence of these lesions. In other words, researchers want to know if APC works just as well as EMR in controlling the disease, while also offering potential advantages such as fewer complications, shorter procedure time, and lower costs. Participants in this study will: Be adults (age 20 or older) diagnosed with a gastric adenoma 1 cm or smaller with low-grade dysplasia. Be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to receive either APC or EMR. Receive standard medical care after the procedure, including medications to help the stomach heal. Return for follow-up endoscopy at 3 months and 12 months after the procedure. During these visits, the treated area will be checked carefully, and biopsies may be taken to determine whether the lesion has recurred. Provide information about any complications, the duration of the procedure, and their recovery experience. The main question is whether APC can prevent recurrence of gastric adenomas as effectively as EMR. Secondary questions include how the two treatments differ in terms of complications (such as bleeding or perforation) and procedure time. Both APC and EMR are already established and commonly used treatments for gastric lesions. By directly comparing these two methods in a randomized controlled trial, this study will provide important evidence to guide future recommendations for patients with small gastric adenomas. The findings may help physicians and patients choose the best treatment option, balancing safety, effectiveness, and convenience.

This study employs a randomized, controlled, exploratory clinical trial design, with a planned enrollment of 66 patients who have previously failed systemic chemotherapy for recurrent/metastatic gastric cancer,

This clinical trial is evaluating a new, function-preserving surgical technique for patients with early-stage cancer in the upper part of the stomach. The current standard treatment is a Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy (LTG), which involves the complete removal of the stomach. This study compares the standard LTG with an innovative procedure called Laparoscopic Proximal Gastrectomy combined with a novel anti-reflux reconstruction (LPG-tbROSF). This new technique removes only the cancerous upper portion of the stomach, aiming to preserve digestive functions and reduce post-surgery complications like acid reflux. The main goal is to see if patients who receive the new, stomach-preserving surgery experience less body weight loss one year after the procedure compared to those who undergo the standard total gastrectomy. The research will also compare the two surgeries in terms of post-operative quality of life, nutritional status, acid reflux symptoms, safety, and long-term cancer outcomes. The study is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial that plans to enroll 120 patients with localized cancer in the upper stomach.

This study aims to test the hypothesis that the diagnosis for histological type, histological grade, LAUREN type, HER-2 expression, MSI/dMMR status, and EBV status in gastric cancer is at least as reliable when performed on endoscopic biopsy specimens as on surgical resection specimens.

CLASS-07 trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial for comparison of long-term outcomes between laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) and open total gastrectomy (OTG) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (clinical stage T2-4aN0-3M0). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall survival and determine the efficacy of LTG compared with OTG for locally advanced gastric cancer. The second purpose is to evaluate the 3-year overall survival rate, 3-year disease free survival rate, morbidity and mortality rates, 3-year recurrence pattern and postoperative recovery course of the patients enrolled in this study.

This study evaluates whether a family-supervised exercise-nutrition-psychology program can reduce complications after stomach-cancer surgery. Eligible patients are adults who will receive chemotherapy before surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to either the multimodal prehabilitation program plus usual care or usual care alone. The main outcome is the rate of serious complications within 30 days after surgery. Potential benefits include fewer complications and faster recovery; risks are minimal and mainly related to mild exercise fatigue.

This is a combined prospective and retrospective observational study aiming to validate a highly sensitive and specific blood-based method for the early diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring of multiple cancers. The study leverages a newly developed sequencing method to improve the detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood, focusing on enhancing sensitivity and specificity in clinical applications. The study targets patients with ovarian, lung, pancreatic, colorectal, esophageal, breast, kidney, bladder, and gastric cancer, as well as healthy controls with asymptomatic gallstones, benign polyps, or individuals undergoing routine medical screening. Blood samples will be analyzed for cell-free DNA (cfDNA), RNA, and protein profiles. A key objective is to determine how much the newly developed method increases the sensitivity and specificity of ctDNA detection, especially in early-stage cancers and minimal residual disease (MRD) after treatment. The method evaluates the variant allele frequency (VAF) of ctDNA to detect residual disease and track tumor dynamics. Serial blood sampling will be conducted before and after surgery or chemotherapy and during follow-up outpatient visits in cancer patients, while one-time sampling will be done for controls. Additionally, tissue biopsies collected during surgery will be used to analyze concordance between tumor-specific mutations and those found in ctDNA. Primary outcome measures include quantitative differences in ctDNA or RNA levels between cancer and control groups. Secondary outcomes assess the clinical correlation between changes in ctDNA VAF and patient outcomes such as recurrence and survival. Statistical tools including ROC curve analysis, Cox regression, and log-rank tests will be used to quantify performance. This study seeks to establish a clinically robust, non-invasive diagnostic tool that enables earlier detection and more precise treatment decisions, while potentially reducing physical, psychological, and socioeconomic burdens related to cancer care.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate a new drug, HTL0039732, that will be administered on its own (as a monotherapy) and in combination with atezolizumab or with other approved anti-cancer therapies, in participants with advanced solid tumours.

Proximal early gastric cancer can choose radical total gastrectomy or proximal gastrectomy. The patients have poor nutritional status and quality of life after total gastrectomy. Compare to total gastrectomy, the nutritional status can improve after proximal gastrectomy . But if use simple esophagogastric anastomosis for proximal gastrectomy, the incidence of postoperative reflux esophagitis is high, which seriously affects the quality of life, and the short-term outcome is poorer than the total gastrectomy. If the incidence of postoperative reflux esophagitis can be reduced, proximal gastrectomy would be the treatment choice for proximal early gastric cancer, which may more improve both quality of life and nutritional condition than total gastrectomy. Double-flap technique is a new surgical reconstruction procedure between esophagus and remnant stomach. It can reduce the occurrence of reflux oesophagitis through reconstruction a simulative cardia. At present, the technique has been carried out in some hospitals in China but still lack large-scale prospective studies and evidence of evidence-based medicine. At present, some retrospective studies have shown that robotic assisted proximal gastrectomy with double-flap technique is safe and effective, and the learning curve is shorter than laparoscopic surgery. The applicant have finished two robotic assisted proximal gastrectomy with double-flap technique cases. Two patients recovered well after surgery, with no occurrence of anastomotic leakage or stenosis and the postoperative quality of life was good. Now we plan to conduct a multi-center, single arm study on proximal early gastric cancer patients(T1N0-1M0 and T2N0M0) to evaluate the feasibility of robotic assisted proximal gastrectomy with double-flap technique , and to evaluate the surgical and oncological safety of this surgical method. Aim to provide initial evidence of evidence-based medicine for its clinical application..
