Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of an investigational study drug DN-101 (calcitriol) when given in combination with gemcitabine ± erlotinib in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
This is multicenter, open-label, randomized, phase II trial in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Primary objective: objective response rate. Secondary objectives: safety, time to disease progression, median duration of response, time to treatment failure, overall survival time, correlation between bio-pathological characterization (EGFR, akt, MAPks) objective response and survival
RATIONALE: Bupropion may help people stop smoking by decreasing the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Giving bupropion over a longer period of time may be effective in helping people stop smoking. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well bupropion works in helping adults stop smoking.
STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. The primary objective of this protocol is to determine the safety of immunization with CEA(6D) VRP in patients with advanced or metastatic CEA expressing malignancies. 2. The secondary objectives are to evaluate CEA-specific immune response to the immunizations and obtain preliminary data on response rate.
This study assesses the safety and efficacy of RTA 402 in combination with gemcitabine in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer.
The goal of this research study is to investigate the role of genes that may point to a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving gemcitabine and capecitabine together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well giving gemcitabine and capecitabine together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery.
Phase 2 study to determine the efficacy and safety of CS-1008 when given with gemcitabine to subjects with previously untreated and unresectable (unable to be surgically removed) or metastatic (spread to other areas beyond the pancreas) pancreatic cancer.
The primary objective of this study is to compare tumor response rate of the test arm(gemcitabine+S-1) with the control arm(gemcitabine alone) in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer
Laparoscopic Ultrasound (LUS) is an important part of the pre-treatment evaluation of patients with upper gastrointestinal tract cancer (esophageal, gastric, pancreatic and liver cancer). When a suspect lesion is visualized during LUS a biopsy should be provided in order to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions. A new system for LUS guided biopsy has been developed, but how often these biopsies are clinically relevant (i.e. changing patient management)and how reliable are these biopsies are unknown. The study hypothesis is that LUS guided biopsies are accurate and clinically relevant in the pre-treatment evaluation of patients with upper gastrointestinal tract cancer.
