Filter by:Endoscopic ultrasound-guided (EUS) tissue acquisition is the current standard of care for the diagnosis of pancreatic solid lesions but it is burdened by a non-negligible risk of non-diagnostic or inconclusive results. Ex-vivo fluorescence confocal laser microscopy (FCM) with MAVIG VivaScope® 2500M-G4 could allow real time assessment of adequacy and diagnosis of the sample.
To explore the potential utility of 18F-FAPI-04 PET/CT for pathologic response evaluation to systemic treatment in PDAC
To explore the potential efficacy of 18F-FAPI-04 PET/CT for PDAC tumour staging and compare the results with those obtained using 18F-FDG PET/CT.
The purpose of this research study is to study a method to detect pancreatic precancer and cancer (ductal adenocarcinoma) using ultrasound technology in those who are at significantly increased risk for developing pancreatic cancer. The LINFU™ Technique is done by analysis of pancreatic fluid collected with the help of ultrasound. This is an investigational way to detect pancreatic precancers and ductal adenocarcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to establish the feasibility of delivering a prescribed, individualised supervised aerobic and resistance exercise programme during adjuvant therapy, to improve survival and reduce symptom burden in pancreatic cancer
This is a prospective observational study which aims to evaluate; The prevalence of pancreatic insufficiency in patients with pancreatic malignancies (adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumours). The most appropriate diagnostic strategy. The impact that an adequate diagnosis and treatment may have on patients' outcome.
This study compares the diagnostic performance of Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided fine needle aspiration and EUS guided core biopsy (SharkCore) in patients with a solid pancreatic mass.
The study is divided into two parts. The first part of the study will test various doses of ASN007 to find out the highest safe dose to test in five specific groups. The second part of the study will test how well ASN007 can control cancer.
Despite improvements and advances in pancreas surgery, about 30-35% of patients who have pancreas surgery develop a type of complication called a pancreatic fistula. A pancreatic fistula occurs when fluid produced by the pancreas leaks into the abdomen after pancreas surgery. Patients who develop a pancreatic fistula can have poor short-term and long-term consequences.We are studying the effect of a medical device named HEMOPATCH on the development and seriousness of pancreatic fistulas. HEMOPATCH is a thin, flexible bovine protein-based pad that may improve tissue sealing where it is applied during surgery. Some small studies called case studies of between 2 and 7 patients, and two clinical trials have shown that HEMOPATCH is effective at stopping bleeding and reducing drain output after some types of surgery. However, there have been no completed clinical trials using HEMOPATCH to prevent or reduce pancreatic fistulas in patients having pancreas surgery, so we don't know if it works in this setting. Health Canada has approved the use of HEMOPATCH as a device to stop bleeding or seal other bodily fluids for procedures in which the control of bleeding or leakage of other body fluids or air by standard surgical techniques are either ineffective or impractical.
Chemotherapy regimens for pancreatic cancer can now stabilize a patient's cancer and/or place some patients in remission or partial remission. The challenge now is to find options for maintenance therapies that will improve survival and allow continued benefits with minimal toxicities and inconvenience to the patients. This study will determine the effects of one possible maintenance regimen. The study is being conducted to determine the effects that pembrolizumab with or without the addition of paricalcitol may have on pancreatic cancer. Half of the patients will be randomized to receive pembrolizumab + paricalcitol and half to receive pembrolizumab + placebo.
