Abdominal Cancer Clinical Trials

Background An estimated 28,000 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma are diagnosed annually in the U.S. Peritoneal metastasis is a common finding at diagnosis, making curative surgical resection possible in an estimated 25% of patients. Systemic chemotherapy is the recommended treatment for patients with metastatic gastric cancer to the peritoneal cavity, however …

Following a lead-in period during which all participants receive a single 3-week cycle of carboplatin/paclitaxel, participants will be randomly assigned in to one of three treatment arms Pembrolizumab+Olaparib, Pembrolizumab+Placebo for Olaparib, or Placebo for Pembrolizumab+Placebo for Olaparib. At Investigator's discretion and prior to participant randomization, one of the following carboplatin/paclitaxel …

Gastric cancer is the 5th most common cancer (1 million incidences per year) and the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide (740,000 deaths per year). Unresectable gastric cancer is associated with a poor 5-year survival rate (< 30%) because of its late presentation with approximately 50% of the patients …

Trial Design The study will be a randomized comparison between two methods of abdominal paracentesis with a cross-over design and each participant will also serve as a control (standard paracentesis). Participants The study will be done on the patients who will visit Outpatient departments or admitted as an inpatient in …

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of intraperitoneal (i.p.) nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To describe the pharmacokinetics (PK), toxicities, and immune-related adverse events associated with i.p. checkpoint inhibitor therapy. II. To estimate the clinical benefit rate (rate of partial response [PR], …

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of paclitaxel via intraperitoneal route in subjects with gastric or gastroesophageal cancer and positive cytology or carcinomatosis. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Safety and tolerability of escalating doses of intraperitoneal paclitaxel in subjects with gastric or gastroesophageal cancer and positive cytology or …

Acute postoperative pain is a common complaint for several days after surgery. However, acute postoperative pain remains even more under controlled in elderly patients, especially those with cognitive impairment and malignancy. Geriatric population is reported to be at higher risk for unwanted side effects from analgesic treatments compared to younger …

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of radiation and eribulin mesylate (eribulin) when used in combination for the preoperative treatment of retroperitoneal liposarcoma. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the feasibility of a preoperative chemoradiation protocol for retroperitoneal liposarcoma. II. To assess the surgical outcomes of …

HYPOTHESIS Staging with dedicated MRI will lead to a reduction of staging laparoscopies and explorative laparotomies in colorectal patients with PM to evaluate whether they may benefit from CRS-HIPEC OBJECTIVES The goal is to perform a multicenter randomized study to compare a less invasive diagnostic workup ARM A (with MRI …

The goal of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility and utility of administering IV contrast during a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in subjects who have image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) for the treatment of abdominal and pelvic tumors. Participant duration is one visit. Subjects will be required …
