NCT02642809
The investigators propose to treat patients with metastatic esophageal cancers and dysphagia with two fractions of brachytherapy followed by pembrolizumab. The brachytherapy is hypofractionated and will provide a radiation dose of sufficient intensity to induce the release of tumor-derived antigens and trigger an antitumor immune response. The simplicity of the design should maximize the chance to examine the hypothesis that radiotherapy can induce an immune response, which can then be augmented by pembrolizumab treatment. Success in this study would provide the impetus to conduct further trials aimed at developing this unique strategy as a more broadly applicable therapeutic option in the treatment of patients suffering from these deadly cancers, and will provide important mechanistic insights into the relationship between radiation treatment and immune therapy augmentation.
NCT04674267
The purpose of this multi-phase research study is to understand how consultation of cancer care with a geriatrician can best improve outcomes for older adults with gastrointestinal malignancies.
NCT06335966
Recent advancements in swallowable esophageal cell-collection devices (SECD) offer a safe, minimally invasive, accurate, and low-cost alternative to esophageal screening without the need for an upper endoscopy. The BEST-RPP study aims to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of using this novel approach to screen for Barrett's Esophagus (BE) and Esophageal Carcinoma (EAC) in rural primary care clinic settings in Oregon.
NCT07217704
This is a multi-site, open-label, non-randomized, single dose study to assess the clinical utility of \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 PET/CT in the detection of metastatic disease in individuals with pathologically confirmed gastric, gastroesophageal junction or esophageal cancer. Following screening, using a standardized administration protocol and dose, participants will undergo \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 PET/CT screening. SOC procedures and interventions will be captured during 3 months +/-14 days post injection. The primary objective is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of such \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 PET/CT using a composite SOT panel. The maximum expected duration of the trial is approximately 24 months from first patient screening to last patient SOC follow up. The participants will be followed-up for safety for 24 to 72 hours after the dose of \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 PET/CT.
NCT07464470
GENCONCOR-2 is a translational research aimed to compare the molecular profile of primary tumors and their matched brain metastases in gastroesophageal cancers, including cancer of the esophagus, gastroesophageal junction, and stomach. The study is based on the previously established international GASTROBRAIN cohort (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07448493), which provides comprehensive clinicopathological and treatment data for over 230 patients. It will be conducted by retrospective analysis of paired samples of histological material (primary tumor and corresponding brain metastasis) with determination of HER2 expression status (IHC ± FISH), MSI status (IHC ± PCR), PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS), and CLDN18.2 expression status (IHC)
NCT07132918
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a new way of using magnetic resonance-guided adaptive radiation therapy (MRgART) to the standard of care linear accelerator (LINAC) radiation treatment in people with cancer in the thoracic region near the heart. The main question it aims to answer is whether MRgART affects the heart differently than LINAC. Participants will: * Receive radiation therapy * Undergo MRIs and bloodwork * Complete quality of life questionnaires

NCT06346080
The goal of this survey is to investigate the participants' preference for a specific screening/diagnostic tool to detect and assess gastro-esophageal cancer. The main question it aims to answer are: * Which diagnostic modality is preferred by patients and the general population? * Which features of the diagnostic test are most detrimental in the decision-making for one or the other modality? * Are geographical differences present in regard to the preference for a diagnostic modality? Participants will be asked to complete a survey of 20-25min, including a brief intake regarding their socio-economic status. This approach will allow us to correct for confounding factors.
NCT01196390
This randomized phase III trial studies how well radiation therapy, paclitaxel, and carboplatin with or without trastuzumab work in treating patients with esophageal cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving radiation therapy and combination chemotherapy together with or without trastuzumab is more effective in treating esophageal cancer.
NCT05581004

NCT04871412
Despite enormous advances in thoracic surgery and oncology, two critical issues concern patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for lung, gastric and esophageal cancer: first, a majority (\~60%) of patients experience minor and major adverse events occurring during and in the days following surgery; second, patients worry about the significant risk of cancer recurrence and mortality months to years after surgery. These issues, combined with side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, have detrimental effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). On a deeper level, there is the problem of an ongoing failure to integrate and evaluate the best of what complementary medicine has to offer surgical oncology care. Too many clinical trials focus on single agent therapies, rather than broad multi-faceted individualized and integrative care interventions that are used in real world settings. The Thoracic POISE project has the overarching goal of improving care for thoracic cancer patients by impacting HRQoL, reducing surgical adverse events, prolonging overall survival and pioneering integrative care delivery.
