Filter by:Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine plus cisplatin followed by radical liver resection versus immediate radical liver resection alone with or without adjuvant chemotherapy in incidentally detected gallbladder carcinoma after simple cholecystectomy or in front of radical resection of BTC (ICC/ECC)
The study consists in a co-clinical trial by using zebrafish embryos. Specifically, an observational prospective clinical trial on patients operated of epato-biliar-pancreatic cancers and gastro-intestinal cancers undergoing a chemotherapy treatment will be run concurrently to an animal trial on zebrafish embryos xenotransplanted with patient cancer cells in order to demonstrate that zebrafish model is able to predict the therapeutic regimen with the best efficacy for each patient.
Investigators hypothesize that following first-line platinum based chemotherapy, rucaparib in combination with nivolumab, will improve progression-free survival and overall survival in BTC patients.
A pancreaticoduodenectomy is performed in patient with pancreatic cancer. The most common and serious complication is leakage between the intestine and the remnant pancreas after this procedure. It occurs in 20-30%. The result is often prolonged hospital and ICU stay, reoperations and deaths (3-5%). To detect a leakage early before the patient becomes seriously ill, thereby initiating treatment is therefore very important. By inserting a thin microdialysis catheter near the anastomosis between pancreas and intestine before closure of the abdominal wall, the investigators will analyze substances such as lactic acid, pyruvate, glycerol, etc. and if these substances may reveal anastomosis leakage at an early stage. Observational studies have shown that if a leakage occurs, glycerol concentration in the microdialysate will rise significant after few hours, and changes in lactic acid and pyruvate values will change as a sign of inflammation. The investigators want to conduct a randomized study comparing patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy and using microdialysis in half of the included population.
Trastuzumab is approved for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer and gastric cancer. The recent study showed that HER2 overexpression or amplification is noted about 5-15% of total biliary tract cancer patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab in the combination of current standard gemcitabine plus cisplatin.
Part 1: Dose-Escalation Phase (Phase 1b) The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of D07001 softgel in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. Part 2: Dose-Expansion Phase (Phase 2) The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of D07001 softgel in patients who have achieved stable disease or better following first line chemotherapy or combined chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for unresectable metastatic or locally advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination of fluorouracil/folinic acid and liposomal irinotecan(Onivyde) compared with fluoruracil/folinic acid in patients with metastatic biliary tract cancer which progressed on 1st line gemcitabine/cisplatin.
ERCP with brush cytology has a poor to moderate accuracy in unclear biliary lesions. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine needle aspiration (FNA) for cytology may override some of these shortcomings. The current prospective study, performed in a tertiary University center, aims to study the feasibility, the accuracy and the clinical value of combinatory ERCP and EUS in unclear biliary lesions.
This is a single-arm, open-label and exploratory clinical study of PD-1 monoclonal antibody SHR-1210 combined with GEMOX regimen (gemcitabine combined oxaliplatin) in the treatment of advanced biliary malignancies. In oder to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 antibody SHR-1210 combined with GEMOX in the treatment of patients with advanced biliary malignant tumor (BTC),subjects with pathological confirmed biliary cancer, including intrahepatic bile duct carcinoma, extrahepatic bile duct carcinoma, and gallbladder carcinoma will be enrolled. 28 days as a treatment cycle, SHR-1210 3mg/kg and Gemcitabine 800 mg/m2 will be administered IV Q2W (D1 and D15 of a treatment cycle),and Oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 will be administered IV Q2W (D2 and D16 of a treatment cycle). PD-1 antibody combined chemotherapy will be used up to 6 cycles.SHR-1210 3mg/kg IV Q2W will be administered beyond 6 cycles chemotherapy until disease progression or un-tolerable toxicity.
This research study is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for Hepatocellular Carcinoma or Biliary Tract Cancer. The interventions involved in this study are: - Durvalumab - Tremelimumab - Radiation Therapy
