Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NIS793 in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel versus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel and placebo in first-line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). This study aims to explore whether blockade of Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFβ) in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel can reduce fibrosis in PDAC, restore chemo-sensitivity and ultimately lead to improvements in overall survival (OS) and other clinically relevant outcomes.
This phase II trial studies the effect of chemoradiation and pembrolizumab followed by pembrolizumab and lenvatinib before surgery in treating patients with esophageal or esophageal/gastroesophageal junction cancer that has not spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic). Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy drug that works by harnessing the immune system to attack cancer. Lenvatinib is an anti-cancer drug that works by stopping or slowing down the growth of cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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 x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemoradiation and pembrolizumab followed by pembrolizumab and lenvatinib before surgery may kill more tumor cells.
This study is a prospective phase II, single arm mono-institutional study conducted in Queen Mary Hospital (Hong Kong) assessing the efficacy and safety of TAS 102 in advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer patients.
Stereotaxic prostatic radiotherapy on Linac MRI, with monitoring of movements of the pelvic organs per fraction on the prostate in real time, in 4 sessions, with integrated boost on the index tumor (if it is visible on the diagnostic MRI), could reduce the digestive, urinary and sexual toxicities accumulated at 5 years and guarantee excellent local tumor control, for patients with localized prostate cancer, with a favorable prognosis, intermediate or very local high risk, according to the D'Amico classification. The benefits that patients participating in this research could obtain are: - Better disease control efficiency - A reduction in the duration of treatment to 4 radiotherapy sessions (2 weeks maximum) instead of 40 sessions (8 weeks) for usual treatment. - Avoid the risks associated with the implantation of prostate markers necessary for stereotaxic radiotherapy on a standard accelerator (anesthetic risks, infectious risks, hemorrhagic risks, pain risks) - Better quality of life
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3745) in the neoadjuvant (prior to surgery) or adjuvant (after surgery) treatment of previously untreated Chinese adults with gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. No formal hypothesis testing will be done.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and anticancer activity of BLU-945, a selective EGFR inhibitor, as monotherapy or in combination with osimertinib.
Cardiovascular diseases and cancers, the two leading causes of death in Canada, require cholesterol to sustain their progression. All cells require cholesterol, but cancer cells have much higher needs to sustain growth, division and metastasis. The availability of new cholesterol-lowering drugs developed to protect patients from heart diseases has resulted in unprecedented low levels of cholesterol. The combination of atorvastatin, ezetimibe and Repatha, which are 3 cholesterol-lowering drugs used in combination, is safe, well tolerated and efficient over years of treatment. Recent reports indicate that abundant cholesterol supplies are required to sustain the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas. This proof-of-concept study aims to verify the feasibility, the acceptability and gain preliminary data on adding a cholesterol shortage on top of FOLFIRINOX (standard chemotherapy) in newly diagnosed patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinomas or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinomas. It is expected that a drug-induced cholesterol shortage will slow-down or stop the progression of pancreatic adenocarcinomas while increasing the response to chemotherapy.
This is a Phase 1 study to assess the safety and efficacy of ELI-002 immunotherapy (a lipid-conjugated immune-stimulatory oligonucleotide [Amph-CpG-7909] plus a mixture of lipid-conjugated peptide-based antigens [Amph-Peptides]) as adjuvant treatment of minimal residual disease (MRD) in subjects with KRAS/neuroblastoma ras viral oncogene homolog (NRAS) mutated PDAC or other solid tumors.
This clinical trial studies the safety of a real-time tele-exercise resistance training (training done using a tablet) in maintaining skeletal muscle, strength, physical function, and health-related quality of life in patients with pancreatic cancer who are receiving combination chemotherapy or have undergone surgery for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Tele-exercise resistance training may improve physical function and quality of life in patients with pancreatic cancer.
This trial is designed to evaluate multiple clinical hypotheses and mechanistically-defined combinations to evaluate the safety and efficacy of first-line chemo-immunotherapy combinations in participants with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC).
