Filter by:This study sets out to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of afatinib in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The identified MTD will serve as recommended phase II dose (RP2D).
This sample-collection study is open to participants in several categories: healthy volunteers (with or without a family history of pancreatic cancer) and individuals diagnosed with pancreatitis or any stage of pancreatic cancer. All participants will submit urine, saliva and blood samples; pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer patients will also submit tissue samples if biopsy/ies or surgery is part of the care being provided by their doctor. In partnership with Berg Health, LLC, biomarkers will be investigated for potential use in early detection of pancreatic cancer, to determine prognosis of patients, and to find the most appropriate treatments for patients.
Adapted Physical Activity (APA) program may provide an opportunity to improve symptoms for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. Thereby, it is proposed to conduct an open trial to assess effects of the APA program in such population
To evaluate the combination of ABI-007 with gemcitabine or with LV5FU2.
The goal of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting side effects of LCL161 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel and to provide safety data in patients with measurable metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Primary End Point: - To compare the overall survival (OS) using QYHJ Granules or Xeloda as the second therapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Secondary End Points: - Compare clinical efficacy by other measures including PFS,tumor response,and changes in quality of life (QOL) between these two groups. - Examine the feasibility and assess the side effects of treatment using QYHJ Granules in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
TL-118 is an anti-angiogenic drug combination designed for the treatment of cancer. The investigational product Tl-118 comprises of four well-known active components. The therapy is administrated at a unique dosing regimen that was found to be effective and advantageous in terms of safety. The product is formulated as an oral suspension, conveniently administrated by the patients at home and not requiring medical staff assistance. This Phase II clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of TL-118 in Gemcitabine treated Pancreatic Cancer patients
People are being asked to participate in this study who have metastatic pancreatic cancer (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body). The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy (effectiveness) of a new combination of drugs, ABT-888 and mFOLFOX-6 (modified 5-Fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin) for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. ABT-888 inhibits an enzyme called "PARP" which helps to fix damaged DNA. By inhibiting this enzyme, ABT-888 prevents cancer cells from repairing the damage caused by the mFOLFOX-6, and will hopefully increase the killing of cancer cells, thus decreasing the tumors in your body.
This open-label study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and effect on tumor growth following a single intralesional injection of PV-10 in subjects with either (a) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is not amenable to resection, transplant or other potentially curative therapy or (b) cancer metastatic to the liver.
People with pancreatic cancer usually have a large amount of the cancer in the area of the pancreas and around it when they are diagnosed with it. Or their cancer has spread (metastasized)outside that area of the abdomen and is not able to be surgically removed (resected). For patients with metastatic disease, one standard treatment is the combination of gemcitabine and erlotinib. This combination has shown slightly longer survival compared to getting gemcitabine alone. For patients with localized but unresectable disease, the standard treatment remains controversial. Early studies showed that chemotherapy and radiation together was better than either one used alone. The greatest benefit of external beam radiotherapy may be after a period of full-dose chemotherapy alone, to help the rapid spread. A problem of beginning treatment with standard radiotherapy is that the doses of chemotherapy usually have to be reduced sometimes by half. Studies have already shown that low dose radiotherapy (LDRT)is safe. This study will evaluate the safety of LDRT instead of standard doses with full dosing of gemcitabine and erlotinib in patients with locally advanced or limited metastatic pancreatic cancer. Patients will be enrolled in groups of 3 to 6 each with a slightly higher dose of LDRT and erlotinib. For patients with locally advanced disease, this protocol also may help because most patients develop and die from spread to the liver and abdominal cavity.
