Filter by:Study of multi-tracer PET scans to assess response to gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer
This study has several purposes. DCE-MRI will be used to image the tumor. Safety of cetuximab given before surgery will be studied. Cetuximab delivery to the tumor will be studied. In Stage 2 of this study, the safety of cetuximab and PEGPH20 given before surgery will be studied. Also, the effects of PEGPH20 on tumors will be studied.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of Fully Covered biliary SEMS to Uncovered biliary SEMS in biliary drainage for the pre-operative management of biliary obstructive symptoms caused by pancreatic cancer in patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy.
A dose escalation, safety study of local (intra-arterially) delivered gemcitabine to the pancreas using the RenovoCath R120 catheter to determine the maximum tolerated dose.
Phase I Multicenter, Open-label, Clinical and Pharmacokinetic Study of Lurbinectedin (PM01183) in Combination with Capecitabine in Patients with Unresectable Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC), Pancreatic Cancer (PC) or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (CRC) to determine the recommended dose (RD) of PM01183 in combination with capecitabine, to characterize the safety profile, to explore the feasibility of PM01183 dose optimization, to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK), to obtain preliminary information on the clinical antitumor activity of this combination and to conduct an exploratory pharmacogenomic (PGx) analysis.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of focused radiation (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, SBRT) on patients with pancreatic cancer that will be removed surgically.
Being able to accurately monitor patient bodily fluid levels during and after surgery is very important, as there are a number of complications that can arise if a patient's fluid levels become unbalanced, such as swelling within or pressure on various bodily organ systems. There are several different ways that physicians can monitor a patient's fluid balance during and after surgery, such as measuring the amount of urine output or the use of central venous catheters which measure the pressure in the veins entering the heart. Most of these techniques are invasive since they require tubes to be inserted into the body. A potential alternative would be to use a noninvasive technique such as electrical bioimpedance (BIA). Bioimpedance assessments work by using small electrical currents that can accurately predict both the water surrounding the outside of cells in the body, as well as the total amount of water in the entire body. Electrical bioimpedance assessments have been used to estimate patient swelling following surgery (edema), to measure the volume of blood the heart is pumping out, as well as to calculate body fat percentages. The goal of this study is to relate this technology to fluid shifts within the body that occur as a result of surgery, in particular, major intra-abdominal surgeries. By using bioimpedance during and after surgery, the investigators will compare the data collected with that calculated by using traditional measures of body fluid status, such as urine output and intraoperative blood loss. During the study, the bioimpedance monitors will not replace the standard bodily fluid monitors and will not interfere with their readings. Additionally, the electrical current produced by the bioimpedance monitors is too small for patients to feel and will not interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers.
This is an open-label, multi-center, dose escalation study in adult subjects with advanced colorectal, gastric, hepatic or pancreatic cancer. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SM04755 administered orally. Upon determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), expansion cohorts may be enrolled.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a difference of diagnostic accuracy between cover slides and base slides from EUS-FNA cytopathologic sample in patients who were previously suspected of pancreatic cancer in radiologic test.
SPP study includes incidence cases of pancreatic cancer in the Stockholm county region from 2007 to 2014. The purpose of SPP study is to estimate relative risk of pancreatic cancer in relation to snuff dipping, overweight/obesity, individual food items, food groups, dietary pattern and various nutrients; to estimate relative risk of pancreatic cancer in relation to exposure to nitrosamines, either endogenously or exogenously; to estimate relative risk of pancreatic cancer in relation to oral health and H.pylori infection and their interaction with ABO blood type; to estimation relative risk of pancreatic cancer in relation to hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection; to estimate relative risk of pancreatic cancer in relation to some genetic polymorphisms, either functional or being suggested in GWAS study; to estimate mutation profile in pancreatic cancer cases, and its correlation with environmental exposures, and the impacts on survival periods in pancreatic cancer patients. The MeSH name is Carcinoma, Pancreatic Ductal
