-
Seismocardiography to gauge fitness and predict outcomes before esophageal cancer surgery
A noninvasive seismocardiography device is tested to see if it can quickly estimate a patient’s fitness and help predict surgical outcomes for adults with esophageal cancer who are planning curative treatment.
-
Pulsed low-dose-rate radiation plus chemotherapy versus standard chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This trial will test whether delivering radiation as pulsed low-dose-rate together with chemotherapy reduces serious esophagitis compared with standard chemoradiation in adults with locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma.
-
Using a new imaging technique to detect cancer-associated fibroblasts in various cancers
This study is testing a new imaging method to see if it can better detect certain cancer-related cells in people with newly diagnosed esophageal or pancreatic cancer compared to standard imaging techniques.
-
Analyzing shopping habits to improve early cancer diagnosis
This study is trying to see if changes in shopping habits can help spot cancer earlier by looking at purchase data from loyalty cards of people recently diagnosed with cancer and those without it.
-
Examining how endoscopic ultrasound affects treatment decisions in oesophageal cancer
This study looks at how using endoscopic ultrasound can change treatment plans for patients with oesophageal cancer to see if it helps them get better care.
-
Reducing dosing frequency of immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced cancers
This study is testing if giving immune checkpoint inhibitors less often can still help people with advanced cancers feel better while making treatment easier and cheaper.
-
New self-expandable metal stent to relieve malignant esophageal strictures
This test will try a new self-expandable metal stent to relieve swallowing problems in adults with incurable esophageal cancer.
-
Breath test for detecting oesophageal cancer
This study is testing a breath test to see if it can help find oesophageal cancer early in people who have vague symptoms.
-
Long-term outcomes of endoscopic procedures for upper gastrointestinal cancers
This study looks at how well certain endoscopic procedures work for treating larger upper gastrointestinal cancers and what the long-term results are for patients.
-
Understanding muscle wasting in cancer patients
This study looks at cancer patients who are losing muscle and weight to see how their body, activity levels, and overall well-being change over time.
-
Non-invasive breath test for early detection of oesophageal and gastric cancer
This study is testing a new breath test to see if it can help find oesophageal and stomach cancers early in people who have symptoms.
-
Combining PD-1 inhibitor with chemoradiotherapy and surgery for esophageal cancer
This study is testing if adding a new drug to standard treatment before surgery can help people with advanced esophageal cancer live longer and feel better.
-
Combining TGF-β and PDL-1 inhibition with chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This study is testing if a new treatment combining a drug called bintrafusp alfa with standard chemotherapy and radiation can be safely given to patients with advanced esophageal cancer that can't be surgically removed.
-
Investigating heart and lung effects of radiotherapy in cancer patients
This study is trying to see if radiation treatment for esophageal cancer and lung cancer can cause high blood pressure in the lungs and how it affects patients' hearts and lungs.
