The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of INCAGN02385 in participants with advanced malignancies.  This investigational intervention treatment uses a single biological drug and is conducted in two parts. Part 1: INCAGN02385 at the protocol-defined starting dose administered every 2 weeks (Q2W), with dose ...

The SPOTLIGHT study is a new clinical study for adults with newly diagnosed, advanced or metastatic stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer who: Have not had any chemotherapy in the past 6 months Have a Claudin 18.2 positive tumor (Claudin 18.2 is a tumor marker often seen in stomach and ...

The use of fluorescence for real-time evaluation of organ and tissue vascularization and lymph node anatomy is a recent technology with potential for the surgical treatment of cancer. The real-time analysis of tissue vascularization allows immediate identification to the surgeon of areas with greater or lesser blood circulation, favoring surgical ...

The first group (Group A) will be considered the control group in which patients will undergo gastro-entero anastomosis. The anastomosis will be pre-colic, along the posterior wall of the stomach with the length of at least 5 cm. The first jejunal loop approximately 40 cm from the angle of Treitz ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab when combined with radiotherapy plus carboplatin and paclitaxel in locally advanced gastroesophageal junction (GEJ)/cardia adenocarcinoma. (Phase Ib) II. To determine the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab when combined with oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil (mFOLFOX6) (without radiation) in locally ...

Collect detailed clinical and epidemiological information on patients with gastric tumors via an online registry and a detailed patient questionnaire. Participants can opt in to contribute a blood sample and paraffin block samples from previous surgery.

OBJECTIVES: - Identify new potential biomarkers of increased gastrointestinal cancer risk using tissue and biofluid samples from patients and healthy volunteers undergoing colonoscopy, endoscopy, or surgery. - Develop new screening strategies based on substances found in tissue and biofluid samples. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients and healthy volunteers ...

Peritoneal metastases in gastric cancer are considered to indicate terminal disease due to poor prognosis because systemic chemotherapy is unlikely to accumulate in peritoneal nodules in cytotoxic concentrations. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) along with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been suggested to improve survival in select patients with limited peritoneal spread, ...
