Filter by:The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an alternative dose of ramucirumab in combination with paclitaxel in participants with second-line metastatic or locally advanced, unresectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJ).
The purpose of this study is to see how well electrochemotherapy works at treating people with Stage III pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Electrochemotherapy is a treatment that combines electroporation and chemotherapy administration. Electroporation uses an electric current to produce holes in pancreatic tumor, which causes the tumor cells to die or take up a higher concentration of administered chemotherapy agent. This study will test the safety and look at the effect of electrochemotherapy in the treatment of stage III pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This study will also help to find the safest and most effective amount of electroporation voltage to apply to this type of tumor.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) and gemcitabine followed by modified FOLFOX (AG-mFOLFOX) in patients with previously untreated, metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma
To determine if treatment with cisplatin and radiation followed by carbo and taxol reduces the rate of recurrence when compared to sandwich therapy.
This is a Phase 1, open label, multi center, multiple dose, dose escalation, safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of palbociclib in combination with nab-P, in sequential cohorts of adult patients with mPDAC, with MTD expansion cohort(s). Approximately 30-60 patients are expected to be enrolled in the overall study.
Two-Year Disease Free Survival Rate of Stage IB~IIIA adenocarcinoma after Adjuvant Chemotherapy with Pemetrexed and Cisplatin will be assessed. A total of 106 patients will be recruited for 12 months, and followed for two years, thus the duration of study will be 36 months.
Currently, for further improved survival outcome, new cytotoxic compounds such as irinotecan and docetaxel have been combined with 5-FU/cisplatin. However, triplet regimen often burdened with higher toxicity and serious neutropenic infection. Therefore, future trials in neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings need to incorporate new molecular agents which improve efficacy, but less toxicity.
This is a study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) as first-line treatment for participants with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. Participants whose tumors express programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment arms of the study: pembrolizumab as monotherapy [pembro mono], pembrolizumab plus standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy with cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or capecitabine [pembro combo], or placebo plus SOC chemotherapy with cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or capecitabine [SOC]. The primary study hypotheses are that pembrolizumab in combination with SOC chemotherapy is superior to SOC chemotherapy alone in terms of Progression-free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) in participants with PD-L1 Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1, pembrolizumab in combination with SOC chemotherapy is superior to SOC chemotherapy alone in terms of OS in participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥10, pembrolizumab monotherapy is non-inferior to SOC chemotherapy alone in terms of OS in participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥1, and pembrolizumab monotherapy is superior to SOC chemotherapy alone in terms of OS in participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥1 and in participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥10.
For many years, the treatment of jaundice due to head pancreatic adenocarcinoma is based on the endoscopic biliary stent. This technique has been shown to be preferable to a surgical shunt. Recently, adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX regimen (clinical trial) has revolutionized the treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma increasing overall survival in a major way. This design will also be developed in patients with neoadjuvant tumor called "borderline" (the limit of the resectability). However, several conditions (protocol) are required to consider the implementation of this design : age ≤ 75 years, PS 0 or 1, good hematological parameters and bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the ULN. In addition, a randomized study showed that preoperative biliary stent treatment, despite a success rate of 94%, is associated with more complications than surgery fast (related gesture bladder). It would be interesting to analyze, prospectively, the fate of a series of patients with cancer of the pancreatic head with compression of the lower part of the bile duct, PS 0 or 1 and for which the only limit to FOLFIRINOX design is jaundice or high risk of jaundice.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor PLX3397 (PLX3397) when given together with radiation therapy and antihormone therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer that is at intermediate or high risk of spreading. Multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor PLX3397 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth, and may also help the radiation therapy work better. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as leuprolide acetate, goserelin acetate, or degarelix, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Giving multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor PLX3397 with radiation therapy and antihormone therapy may be a better treatment for prostate cancer.
