Study of Denikitug (GS-1811) Given Alone or With Nivolumab or Chemotherapy in Adults With Metastatic Gastric, Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ), and Esophageal Adenocarcinomas

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug, Denikitug (DEN, GS-1811), to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Denikitug Monotherapy and Denikitug-based combinations in in participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-Negative, unresectable, recurrent, and/or metastatic, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), and esophageal adenocarcinomas. The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of DEN as a monotherapy or in combination with nivolumab (NIVO) or ramucirumab (RAM) and paclitaxel (PAC) on objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST Version1.1).

Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection (QL1706) Combined With DOS as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Locally Advanced Adenocarcinoma of the Stomach and Gastroesophageal Junction

This is a single-center, prospective, exploratory clinical study. Eligible patients will be enrolled and receive iapalolimab combined with DOS regimen (docetaxel + oxaliplatin + tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil potassium). The study aims to further explore the efficacy and safety of iapalolimab plus DOS regimen for locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. A total of 34 patients with locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma will be enrolled. Each treatment cycle lasts 21 days. After 3-4 cycles, patients who are assessed as operable by investigators will undergo surgical resection, and postoperative pathological results will be evaluated. The primary outcome measure is the pathological complete response rate. Investigators will determine subsequent treatment regimens based on patients' pathological findings and routine clinical practice at the study center. Radiological assessment of tumor response is recommended every 2 cycles.

Testing the Addition of Paclitaxel Administered Into the Abdominal Cavity Combined With Chemotherapy for Patients With Gastric Cancer Spread to the Abdominal Cavity

This study is being done to answer the following questions: Can we lower the chance of your gastric cancer from growing or spreading by administering paclitaxel chemotherapy directly into your abdominal cavity in addition to chemotherapy given through a vein in your arm? Will administering paclitaxel chemotherapy directly into your abdominal cavity, in addition to chemotherapy given through a vein in your arm help you live longer? We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your gastric cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for gastric cancer. If you decide to take part in this study, you will first receive a surgical procedure called a diagnostic laparoscopy. This will help the study doctors learn more about your gastric cancer. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery for which you will be placed under general anesthesia. Then the surgeon will make small incisions (5mm) on your belly through which a camera and thin instruments are introduced to evaluate the abdomen. This procedure takes about 1 hour to complete. Your study group will be assigned during the surgery. The study groups are described further in the 'What are the study groups?' section below. If you are placed into the study group 1, you will not have an intraperitoneal port (a small device which is placed under the skin and fat of your upper abdomen and a tube that is placed into the abdomen). If you are placed into the study group 2, you will have an intraperitoneal port placed. The reason is that in addition to standard chemotherapy, which is given through a vein in your arm, this port will be used to deliver the medication paclitaxel directly inside your abdomen when you are ready to start study treatment. It is important to know that you will not know your study group until after the surgery is over. This is because information that is learned during the surgery will help determine which study group you are put in. Once you have fully healed from this surgery, you will start study treatment. Depending on which study group you are assigned, you will either receive a standard chemotherapy regimen (the regimen will be chosen by you and your doctor) if you are in study group 1, or paclitaxel through a tube in your belly plus chemotherapy given through a vein in your arm if you are in study group 2. All participants will get treatment for three (3) months after which you will undergo reevaluation. If the disease is under control or responding to treatment, you may continue the assigned treatment until your disease gets worse, the side effects become too severe, or you may be offered a surgical procedure to remove the cancer if the amount of disease is low and can be completely removed as determined by a surgeon. There is a very small chance that during the laparoscopy surgical procedure, the doctor might find something called "intra-abdominal adhesions". These are areas where the stomach has healed previously and created scar tissue. If this scar tissue prevents the surgeon from being able to place a port in the correct area, you would be ineligible to receive the study treatment. If this happens, you may still receive standard of care therapy after your surgery, but you will not be able to continue on the study. If you have more questions about this, you can ask your surgeon or the study team to help. After you finish your study treatment, your doctor or study team will watch you for side effects. They will continue to follow your condition every three (3) months during the first two (2) years, then every six (6) months until year 5. You may be reevaluated with Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis scans every three-six (3-6) months for up to five (5) years if decided by your doctor.

A Phase 1 Study of NRM-823 in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Refractory Solid Tumors

Efficacy of Tirellizumab Combined With Oral, Intravenous and Abdominal Chemotherapy in Peritoneal Metastatic Gastric/Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

For peritoneal metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (cT3-4NanyM1), PD-1 antibody combined with chemotherapy and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can downstage tumor stage, increase the conversion resection rate, and may improve the long-term survival. Tislelizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, has recently been proved in the first- and second-line standard treatment for advanced or metastatic gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.In the subgroup analysis of RATIONALE-305 trial, tislelizumab also showed good efficacy in gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma patients with peritoneal metastasis. Combination of tirellizumab,SOX and HIPEC for peritoneal metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma could be a novel therapeutic strategy to increase response rate and therapeutic efficacy. This study is a monocenter, single-arm phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate tolerability, safety and efficacy of perioperative tirellizumab in combination with SOX and HIPEC in peritoneal metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Oxaliplatin ± nivolumab in combination with trifluridine/tipiracil or 5-fluorouracile (5-FU) in frail patients with advanced, recurrent or metastatic gastric, oesophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer.

Breath Research Narrow Validation for Gastrointestinal Cancer Detection

The investigators of this study are developing a simple breath test to help detect gastrointestinal (gut) cancers earlier, including cancers of the oesophagus (food pipe), stomach, pancreas, liver and bowel. These cancers often cause non-specific symptoms that are similar to benign conditions, making early diagnosis difficult. Delays between the onset of symptoms and referral for a diagnostic test such as an endoscopy or a scan, can allow the cancer to progress. The breath test detects small molecules called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are released in exhaled breath. Some of these VOCs are strongly associated with these cancers and may help identify high-risk patients who require urgent investigation. In practice, patients who come to their GP with concerning symptoms will be offered the breath test. If the test is positive, patients can be referred promptly for a diagnostic test, while those with a negative result can be reassured and offered re-testing if symptoms persist. Earlier diagnosis could improve access to curative treatment while reducing unnecessary invasive investigations. Previous studies have identified a panel of VOCs that appear to distinguish patients with gastrointestinal cancers from those without cancer. This study aims to confirm these findings in a new group of participants to determine whether the same biomarkers can be reliably identified. Participants will provide a breath sample, usually before a hospital procedure they are already scheduled to undergo, and complete a short questionnaire about their medical history and medications. Some participants will also be asked to drink a nutritional supplement before providing a second breath sample. The results will help determine whether the breath test is reliable enough for further clinical evaluation

A Study of ASP2138 Together With Chemotherapy and Pembrolizumab in Adults With Gastric Cancer

Claudin 18.2 or CLDN18.2 is a protein found on cells in the digestive system. It is also found in some tumors. Researchers are looking at ways to attack CLDN18.2 to help control tumors. ASP2138 is thought to bind to CLDN18.2 and a type of immune cell called a T cell. This "tells" the immune system to attack the tumor. ASP2138 is a potential treatment for people with gastric cancer (also known as stomach cancer) or gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJ cancer). GEJ is where the tube that carries food (esophagus) joins the stomach. This study is for people with gastric or GEJ cancer that has spread nearby (locally advanced) and is not removable by surgery (unresectable), or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). It is for those whose cancer is human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative and CLDN18.2-positive. HER2-negative means the cancer does not have extra HER2 protein, so medicines that target HER2 do not work and are therefore not used. CLDN18.2-positive means people have a certain amount of CLDN18.2 proteins on their cancer cells. In this study, researchers want to learn if ASP2138 given together with standard treatments (chemotherapy and pembrolizumab) help people with HER2-negative and CLDN18.2-positive gastric or GEJ cancer. The main aim is to learn how long people who are given ASP2138 with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab live without their cancer getting worse, compared with placebo given with chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab, and if they live for longer. Placebo looks like the study treatment but does not have any medicine in it. The main aim of this study is to check how well ASP2138 works when given together with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab compared with placebo plus chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab. People aged 18 years or older with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or GEJ cancer can take part. Their tumor should be HER2-negative and CLDN18.2-positive. The study doctors will check people for any health conditions that can exclude them from taking part, interfere with the study procedures, or pose an unacceptable risk. This is a double-blind study. That means the people and the study doctors will not know who will receive which treatment. People will be assigned to one of 2 treatment groups by chance: Group A: People will receive ASP2138 along with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab. Group B: People will receive placebo along with chemotherapy, with or without pembrolizumab. People will keep receiving treatment until their cancer gets worse, they have medical problems that require stopping treatment, or a study rule says they must stop. There will be regular safety checks. People will continue to have scans of their tumor until their cancer becomes worse.

Trial Comparing Standard of Care Therapy With and Without Sequential Cytoreductive Intervention for Patients With Metastatic Foregut Adenocarcinoma and Undetectable Circulating Tumor-Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (ctDNA) Levels

This is a randomized, open label, single-center, phase 2, randomized controlled trial of sequential cytoreductive intervention versus standard of care therapy for patients with intervenable oligometastatic (stage IV) cancer of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract and undetectable ctDNA at the time of randomization after a three-month induction chemotherapy period.

Costs of Opportunistic Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and the Economic Burden of Gastric Cancer Management

Data will be extracted from routinely collected hospital databases.

Ph II Study of Cabozantinib With Pembrolizumab in Metastatic Gastric and Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

This is a phase 2 single-arm, open-label clinical trial determining efficacy of cabozantinib in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. These are subjects who have progressed, or not tolerated, at least one prior line of chemotherapy with a fluoropyrimidine and platinum agent.

SHR-1701 With or Without Apatinib in Combination With Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Gastric Cancer

This study is a multicenter, randomized, two-cohort clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1701 with or without apatinib in combined with chemotherapy of neoadjuvant treatment for resectable locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Short-Course Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Resectable Gastric Adenocarcinoma

This phase Ib trial investigates the side effects and how well a shorter course of chemotherapy and radiation treatment (chemoradiotherapy) for 2 weeks instead of 5 weeks followed by standard chemotherapy works in treating patients with gastric cancer who are scheduled to have treatment and then surgery to remove the tumor. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and fluorouracil, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving short-course chemo-radiotherapy before chemotherapy and surgery may help to control the disease.

A Study of ASP2138 Given by Itself or Given With Other Cancer Treatments in Adults With Stomach Cancer, Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer, or Pancreatic Cancer

Claudin 18.2 protein, or CLDN18.2 is a protein found on cells in the digestive system. It is also found on some tumors. Researchers are looking at ways to attack CLDN18.2 to help control tumors. ASP2138 is thought to bind to CLDN18.2 and a protein on a type of immune cell called a T-cell. This "tells" the immune system to attack the tumor. ASP2138 is a potential treatment for people with stomach cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJ cancer) or pancreatic cancer. GEJ is where the tube that carries food (esophagus) joins the stomach. Before ASP2138 is available as a treatment, the researchers need to understand how it is processed by and acts upon the body. In this study, ASP2138 will either be given by itself, or given together with standard treatments for gastric, GEJ and pancreatic cancer. Pembrolizumab and mFOLFOX6, and ramucirumab and paclitaxel are standard treatments for gastric and GEJ cancer. mFOLFIRINOX is a standard treatment for pancreatic cancer. This information will help find a suitable dose of ASP2138 given by itself and together with the standard cancer treatments and to check for potential medical problems from the treatments. The main aims of the study are: * To check the safety of ASP2138 and how well people can tolerate medical problems during the study. * To find a suitable dose of ASP2138 to be used later in the study. * These are done for ASP2138 given by itself and when given together with the standard cancer treatments. Adults 18 years or older with stomach cancer, GEJ cancer, or pancreatic cancer can take part. Their cancer is locally advanced unresectable or metastatic. Locally advanced means the cancer has spread to nearby tissue. Unresectable means the cancer cannot be removed by surgery. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. There should also be the CLDN18.2 marker in a tumor sample. People cannot take part if they need to take medicines to suppress their immune system, have blockages or bleeding in their gut, have specific uncontrollable cancers, have specific infections, have a condition such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) which is when the body over-reacts to a "trigger" such as infection, or have a specific heart condition ("New York Heart Association Class III or IV"). Phase 1: Lower to higher doses of ASP2138 * ASP2138 is either given through a vein (intravenous infusion) or just under the skin (subcutaneous injection). * Different small groups are given lower to higher doses of ASAP2138. * ASP2138 is either given by itself, or given with 1 of 3 standard treatments: * Pembrolizumab and mFOLFOX6 (first treatment for gastric GEJ cancer) * Ramacirumab and paclitaxel (Second treatment for gastric or GEJ cancer) * ASP2138 with mFOLFIRINOX (first treatment for pancreatic cancer) Phase 1b: doses of ASP2138 worked out from Phase 1 * ASP2138 is either given through a vein or just under the skin. This depends on the findings from Phase 1. * People with gastric cancer, GEJ cancer or pancreatic cancer are given doses of ASP2138, worked out from Phase 1. * This includes doses of ASP2138 given by itself and ASP2138 given with the standard cancer treatments. * The standard cancer treatments given depends on the type of cancer they have. End of treatment visit: This is 7 days after final dose of study treatment or if the study doctor decides to stop the person's treatment. People who have locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer will not receive ASP2138 by itself.
