Stomach Neoplasms

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....

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.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether stomach-partitioning gastrojejunostomy (SPGJ) more effectively reduces postoperative delayed gastric emptying (DGE) compared to conventional gastrojejunostomy (CGJ) in patients with unresectable stage IV gastric cancer accompanied by malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO). This multicenter randomized trial aims to establish a new surgical standard that enhances recovery and quality of life in advanced gastric cancer. The main questions are: 1. Does SPGJ significantly decrease DGE compared with CGJ? 2. Does SPGJ enable faster food tolerance, shorter hospital stay, and earlier chemotherapy? Researchers will compare two arms - SPGJ and CGJ - to determine differences in postoperative gastric emptying, hospital course, complications, and survival outcomes. Participants Eligible participants are adults aged 20-85 years with histologically proven unresectable gastric adenocarcinoma limited to the lower third of the stomach and endoscopic or radiologic evidence of obstruction. Patients with total bowel obstruction, middle-third tumor extension, emergency conditions, or severe malnutrition (albumin \< 2.5 g/L) are excluded. Interventions * CGJ arm: Standard laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy using a 60 mm stapler without partitioning. * SPGJ arm: Laparoscopic transverse gastric partitioning 5 cm proximal to the tumor with a 2 cm bridge at the lesser curvature, followed by stapled gastrojejunostomy. All operations follow standardized training videos and pretrial workshops to ensure consistency across 32 Korean university hospitals. Study Design This is a prospective, randomized controlled multicenter trial (KLASS 16). After intraoperative diagnostic laparoscopy confirms eligibility, participants are randomized by a secure web-based block system stratified by hospital. A total of 144 patients (72 per arm) will be enrolled, ensuring 90% statistical power based on expected DGE rates (CGJ 34.6% vs SPGJ 3.8%). Endpoints * Primary endpoint: Incidence of DGE within 30 days (ISGPS criteria). * Secondary endpoints: Day of oral tolerance (GOO score ≥ 2), hospital stay, Clavien-Dindo ≥ II complications, mechanical obstruction recurrence, 6 and 12 month overall survival, and quality of life. Data Collection and Analysis Data will include postoperative nutrition recovery, complication grades, and survival follow-up. Analyses will utilize Chi square or Fisher's exact test for DGE rates and Kaplan-Meier with log rank testing for survival. Logistic regression will identify DGE risk factors. Duration Total 3 years: 6 months preparation, 1 year enrollment, 1 year follow up, and 6 months for data analysis and reporting. Expected Outcomes SPGJ is expected to reduce DGE by \> 70%, shorten hospital stay by \~3 days, and enable earlier chemotherapy, thereby improving palliative care outcomes and overall patient quality of life. The KLASS 16 trial will provide the first multicenter, Level I evidence to determine whether SPGJ should replace CGJ as the standard palliative procedure for MGOO.

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.

DNA methylation changes occur early and broadly during carcinogenesis. Methylscape is a rapid assay that detects global DNA methylation patterns in body fluids (blood, urine, and saliva) and may detect a cancer signal and predict the cancer signal origin (CSO) from a single fluid sample, using the differential interaction between methylated and unmethylated DNA and gold nanoparticles. This prospective observational study evaluates the diagnostic performance (sensitivity and specificity) of the Methylscape test in Colombian patients with various biopsy-confirmed solid tumors compared with age- and sex-matched cancer-free (healthy) volunteers. The study is conducted in three parts: Phase 1 validates the assay in 250 patients with cancer; Sub-study 2a compares 1,500 patients with cancer against 1,500 matched cancer-free volunteers; and Sub-study 2b uses serial blood and urine sampling in 300 patients with early-stage disease to assess detection of disease relapse during follow-up, in parallel with standard imaging. The study also estimates positive and negative predictive values (PPV/NPV) and projects the budget impact and cost-effectiveness of Methylscape as a multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tool in an upper-middle-income Latin American setting.

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 goal of this clinical trial is to learn if transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) works to help people recover faster after laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer. TEAS is a treatment that uses small electrical pulses through sticky pads on the skin. It does not use needles. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does TEAS help people pass gas (a sign that the digestive system is waking up) sooner after surgery? Does TEAS help lower pain after surgery? Does TEAS reduce the need for extra pain medication after surgery? Researchers will compare three groups to see if TEAS works better when given before, during, and after surgery compared with only after surgery. Group 1 receives TEAS before, during, and after surgery. Group 2 receives a sham (inactive) treatment before and during surgery, and real TEAS after surgery. Group 3 receives sham treatment at all time points. All participants will receive the same standard pain relief and recovery care after surgery. Participants will: Be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to one of the three groups Receive TEAS or sham treatment for 30 minutes before surgery, during surgery, and for 30 minutes each day on the first 3 days after surgery Rate their pain on a 0-10 scale at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery Complete quality-of-life questionnaires before surgery, on day 4 after surgery, and 30 days after surgery Have a follow-up visit or phone call 30 days after leaving the hospital This study includes 300 adults aged 18 to 80 years who are scheduled to have laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer at 13 hospitals in Shandong Province, China.

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.

Background: Radical gastrectomy causes moderate-to-severe pain during the first 48 hours after surgery. Opioids are effective but carry adverse effects and risks of prolonged use, so ERAS-based care recommends multimodal analgesia. Acetaminophen is the most commonly used non-opioid analgesic in gastrectomy patients; adding ibuprofen as a fixed-dose combination has shown improved analgesia and opioid-sparing effects compared with acetaminophen alone in other surgical populations, but direct evidence in gastrectomy patients is limited. Objective: To evaluate whether scheduled administration of an acetaminophen-ibuprofen fixed-dose combination (Maxigesic® IV) is superior to acetaminophen alone for pain relief after radical gastrectomy, with exploratory assessment of cost-effectiveness and of differences in analgesic efficacy according to genetic polymorphisms. Hypothesis: When given on an identical scheduled regimen, the acetaminophen-ibuprofen fixed-dose combination produces significantly lower pain scores (NRS) over the first 48 postoperative hours than acetaminophen alone (superiority). Study plan: This is a phase IV, multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial in which 160 gastric cancer patients scheduled for minimally invasive radical gastrectomy (80 per arm) are randomized 1:1 with stratification by institution. In both arms, the assigned drug is given as a 15-minute intravenous infusion every 6 hours, starting 30 minutes before the end of surgery through 48 hours postoperatively. The primary endpoint is the between-group difference in the time-weighted average (TWA) of repeatedly measured resting and active NRS over 48 hours, analyzed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM); secondary endpoints include opioid consumption (MME), the Quality of Recovery score (QoR-15K), the incidence of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP), and in-hospital costs.

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.

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 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 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.

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.
