This trial will assess the MTD and RP2D of SOT102 administered as monotherapy (Part A) and in combination with first-line SoC treatment (nab-paclitaxel/ gemcitabine; Part B) and efficacy of SOT102 administered as monotherapy (Part C) and in combination with first-line SoC treatment (Part D) in patients with advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
A prospective, nationwide, implementation program of the international standard of excellence for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) care in the Netherlands (2021[7]-2030[6]), including a multidisciplinary training program by the four leading international expert centers. The PREOPANC-4 project aims a safe and patient-centered implementation of the international standards of excellence for LAPC (surgery) in the Netherlands.
Identify individuals who are at moderate and high risk or predisposed to developing pancreatic cancer with a familial history in which data collected from this study will be used to identify clinical factors associated with early detection of pancreatic cancer.
The vast majority of patients with distal biliary, pancreatic head or uncinate process cancer have jaundice caused by distal malignant obstruction (DMO) of the common bile duct. Biliary drainage by Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with trans-papillary stent placement is the treatment of choice. ERCP has a failure rate ranging from 12 - 25 percent. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is the alternative conventional way to drain the biliary tree after ERCP failure, which is related with substantial morbidity (62%) and mortality (17%). Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is a novel promising drainage modality with reported excellent outcomes in terms of clinical success and complications. The implementation of EUS-BD besides ERCP and PTBD into Dutch daily clinical practice raises many questions related to performance, costs, QoL, training, implementation and overall oncological treatment success. This structured learning/proctoring program with an additional national registry provides insights into EUS-BD and how to implement EUS-BD in the Dutch standard of care.
This study is designed to investigate the means by which cancer resists treatment can be overcome by a combination of an established anticancer drug, trametinib, with hydroxychloroquine.
Early detection and early treatment is the most important issue to improve the long-term survival of pancreatic cancer patients. CA199 is the most commonly used biomarker for early detection and to predict survival, however, the overall positive rate for CA199 is only 75%, and what is worse, for the early stage of pancreatic cancer patients, the positive rate is even lower, and for the lewis negative patients, CA199 is not produced at all. Therefore, novel biomarkers for the early detection of pancreatic cancer are still urgently needed. Previously, we found there is a vicious cycle between pancreatic cancer cells, that is pancreatic cancer-produced TGFbeta1 could promote the production of soluble CD58 (sCD58) in macrophages, and then sCD58 could induce the production of TGFbeta1 in pancreatic cancer cells. Therefore, the serum level of TGFbeta1 and sCD58 has diagnostic and survival values for pancreatic cancer.
This is a prospective pilot protocol investigating whether ctDNA detection be improved by sampling the cancer draining vein versus the standard practice of sampling from a peripheral vein in patients who are undergoing biopsies for hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers.
To explore the possibility to overcome CYP3A-mediated resistance to anticancer drugs in pancreatic cancer, we will investigate the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and efficacy of nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) in combination with gemcitabine and the CYP3A inhibitor cobicistat in a phase I proof-of-concept trial to determine the safety profile, the recommended dose of nab-paclitaxel in combination with gemcitabine and cobicistat, and to determine whether there is an early efficacy signal warranting a larger scale trial. The present trial is an open-label trial consisting of a dose-escalation part and an expansion part. The dose escalation part is designed to determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of nab-paclitaxel in combination with gemcitabine and cobicistat and will guide the dosing in the expansion part of the trial. The trial enrolls patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma and adequate performance score (ECOG PS 0-2) who would usually receive gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel according to standard of care. Primary endpoint for the phase I trial is the safety of the combination. Overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR) and progression free survival (PFS) are secondary efficacy endpoints. Further secondary endpoints are tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenomics.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Ampligen in patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma
