Gastric Cancer
Allogeneic Whole Cell Cancer Vaccine for Metastatic Epithelial Tumors
This study is based on the finding that tumor cells that are grown in the laboratory can be modified in such a way that, when injected to the patient, they will stimulate his/her immune response. This approach will be evaluated in patients with colorectal, gastric, ovarian, breast or lung epithelial cancer. Tumor cells grown in the laboratory will be modified to make them stimulatory to the immune system, irradiated to kill them, and injected to the patient eight times at two-week intervals . This protocol is expected to prolong survival of metastatic epithelial cancer patients.
AMG 102 Plus ECX for Unresectable Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric or Esophagogastric Junction Cancer
Study Phase: 1b/2 Indication: Previously untreated subjects with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastric or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. Primary Objective(s): Part 1: To identify safe dose levels of AMG 102, up to 15 mg/kg Q3W, to combine with ECX. Part 2 (phase 2-double-blind): To estimate with pre-specified precision the effect of the addition of AMG 102 to ECX on progression free survival (PFS).
Postoperative Chemotherapy and Chemo-Radiotherapy for Resected Gastric Cancer
This study will determine the feasibility of adjuvant chemotherapy and chemo-radiotherapy for patients with surgically resected adenocarcinoma of the stomach and gastro-esophageal junction.
Overall Survival of Inoperable Gastric/GastroOesophageal Cancer Subjects on Treating With LMWH + Chemotherapy(CT) Versus Standard CT
Due to evidence available both in terms of efficacy and safety of low molecular weight heparin, its use for the prevention of thromboembolic disease in cancer patients undergoing surgical intervention, and its extended use in higher doses for the prevention of recurrent thromboembolism in cancer patients with established thrombosis, with a view that the potential benefits for survival in cancer patients from low molecular weight heparin therapy comes because of a biological activity, the dose of 1mg/Kg (50% of the full treatment dose) for a period of 6 months coincident with 6 cycles of chemotherapy, has been chosen for this study.
Docetaxel, Oxaliplatin, and Fluorouracil in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Stomach Cancer, Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer, or Other Solid Tumor
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of docetaxel when given with oxaliplatin and fluorouracil and to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable stomach cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, or other solid tumor.
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy or Standard Care in Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancer or Lung Cancer
RATIONALE: Providing cognitive and behavioral therapy may improve the well-being and quality of life of patients with advanced cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying cognitive and behavioral therapy to see how well it works compared with standard care in treating patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer or lung cancer.

Study of Cetuximab to Treat Gastric Cancer
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cetuximab combined with FOLFIRI in patients with advanced gastric cancer who failed first-line chemotherapy
Study of TS-1 or TS-1 + PSK for Gastric Cancer Patients
Since it is not uncertain about efficacy of combination therapy with PSK and TS-1 in gastric cancer, in this study, we compare efficacy and safety of postoperative adjuvant therapy using TS-1 or TS-1+PSK in the stage II or III gastric cancer patients.
Docetaxel With or Without Vandetanib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Stomach Cancer or Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vandetanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether docetaxel is more effective when given together with or without vandetanib. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying docetaxel to see how well it works compared with docetaxel given together with vandetanib in treating patients with metastatic stomach cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
Histocompatibility Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-A*2402 Restricted Peptide Vaccine Therapy in Patients With Gastric Cancer
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and time to progression of HLA-A*2402 restricted epitope peptides URLC10, KOC1, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 emulsified with Montanide ISA 51.
