Filter by:This is a phase II, multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, 2-arm trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of mFOLFIRINOX plus ramucirumab (Arm A) vs. mFOLFIRINOX plus placebo (Arm B) in 94 subjects with advanced pancreatic cancer, not amenable to curative treatment. Both arms will continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
This is an open-label, multicenter, global Phase 2 basket study of entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors that harbor an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene fusion. Patients will be assigned to different baskets according to tumor type and gene fusion.
This is a phase 1 (the first phase in testing a new drug, to see how safe a new drug or new indication/population ) and phase 2 (the second phase in testing a new drug or new indication/population to see how effective the drug is) study of neoadjuvant (treatment before the main treatment) with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (abraxane) and gemcitabine and radiation therapy before surgery and then gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel after surgery in patients with pancreatic cancer that has grown to involve one of the major artery branches.
The purpose of this study is to compare two different techniques of performing a pancreatic anastomosis; Cattell-Warren versus Blumgart to determine if a Blumgart anastomosis reduces pancreatic remnant leak, post-operative complications and overall length of hospital stay.
This study is a trial of dexanabinol in patients with advanced tumours. The purposes of the protocol are to study different doses of the study drug to determine the maximum safe dose of the drug given in combination with standard chemotherapies and to further understand the safety of the study drug and to measure any reduction in size of patients' cancer tumour(s). Dexanabinol is a synthetic cannabinoid which has previously undergone clinical trials for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and in subjects undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Currently dexanabinol is under investigation for potential anti-tumour activity in patients with advanced tumours.
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of PBI-05204, an extract of the leaves of Nerium oleander, in patients with Stage IV metastatic pancreatic cancer. All patients will receive PBI-05204.
This pilot clinical trial studies copper Cu 64 anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) monoclonal antibody M5A positron emission tomography (PET) in diagnosing patients with CEA positive cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as copper Cu 64 anti-CEA monoclonal antibody M5A PET, may help find and diagnose CEA positive cancer that may not be detected by standard diagnostic methods.
Research Hypothesis: icotinib administered in combination with gemcitabine has an acceptable safety profile in subjects with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.The primary objective is to determine the safety profile of icotinib in combination with gemcitabine in subjects with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Follow-up after successful operative treatment of cancer in the esophagus, stomach or pancreas in order to detect recurrent disease is a controversial topic. This is because the methods and the consequence of following these patients is unknown. Therefore the investigators will randomize these patients in to two groups: 1. One group of patients will be offered visits with a specialist surgeon in a outpatient setting for a clinical evaluation every 3,6,9,12,18 and 24 months after surgery, as is the current standard at our department. 2. The other group will be offered Endoscopic UltraSound, EUS, and PET/CT with the same intervals as the first group.
Early detection testing is recommended for individuals at elevated risk for the development of Pancreatic Cancer. This Protocol will define sufficiently elevated risk as either equal to or greater than five times the general population risk, or five times the average risk (1.5%) of developing pancreatic cancer by age 70; that is a 7.5% lifetime risk. Our inclusion criteria has a strong focus on the risk for pancreatic cancer imparted by the presence of hereditary cancer genes, as well as by family history. Enrolled subjects will undergo Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) alternating with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), every six to 12 months, for up to 5 years.
