Filter by:Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), more commonly known as Whipple's surgery is the mainstay treatment for pancreatic head and periampullary cancer. Factors contributing to PD outcomes are broadly categorized to disease-related, patient-related and operative factors. Whereas an inexhaustible list of study exists on looking at reducing PD complication rates with respect to the above-mentioned factors, it was only recently that more attention has been given to the impact of perioperative and intraoperative fluid regimes on PD outcomes. This study takes interest in the impact of intraoperative fluid regimes on PD outcomes. The objective of this investigation is to compare the outcomes with the use of intraoperative intravenous human albumin versus standard intraoperative fluid regimes.
This is an single arm, open-label, phase II trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of using the combination of Camrelizumab with apatinib as second-line therapy for advanced PDAC.
This is an open label Phase I/IIa, First in Human trial of TST001, a recombinant humanized anti-Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) IgG1 monoclonal antibody as monotherapy or in combination with nivolumab or standard of care. It is being tested against advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors including gastric, gastroesophageal junction, pancreatic cancers.
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the 4th common cancer in the world and occupied the second place for digestive tumors, of which the incidence has also increased sharply in China. It harbors a particularly poor prognosis due to the late onset of symptoms and the advanced stage that the disease usually reaches before diagnosis. Therefore, searching more sensitive and accurate tumor markers has great value for application. Circulating tumor cell (CTC) is a noninvasive index that could help diagnosis and monitor the load of tumor, having excellent prospect for clinical application. Early in the formation and growth of a primary tumor (breast, colon, lung, or prostate cancer, et al.), CTC are released into blood. The published studies on CTCs have focused on their prognostic significance, utility in real-time monitoring of therapies, resistance targets and understanding the process of metastasis. Our main purpose is to use the platform to identify correlations between CTC counts and PC progression. Chemotherapy plays an important role in the postoperative treatment for PC. However, the efficiency of chemotherapeutic drugs for PC remains relatively limited. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) preferably reproduce the clinical biological characteristics of PC, leading that we could deeply study the pathogenesis and metastasis of PC. Moreover, using PDX platform defines drug-resistant PC. From the present study, PDX and Mini-PDX platforms maintained architectural characteristics of the original PC specimen after continuous passaging, which could reflect the preclinical medicine study, better serving the clinical chemotherapy and improving the treatment efficiency. Conditional reprogramming (CR) technique adds no virus or cell oncogene to the non-genetic operation, which will not change any gene phenotype during normal growth and continuous passage of the cells in vitro. After a small sample of PC patient is obtained by CR, the project could enlarge the tumor samples from micro-biopsy tissue samples, and provide a basis for the follow-up of tumor drug susceptibility testing. This experiment also uses ctDNA (circulation tomor DNA)technology to detect the genetic information of PC, through which it is expected to improve personalized precision diagnosis and treatment of PC and help to establish a complete database of individual PC PDX. It provides ideal research materials and platform for basic development and translational medicine research of oncology.
This is an open label, randomized phase 2 study of NaliCap (irinotecan liposome/Capecitabine) compared to NAPOLI (irinotecan liposome/5-FU/LV) in gemcitabine-pretreated advanced pancreatic cancer patients.
This is a single arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CEA-targeted CAR-T cells therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory CEA+ Cancer,and obtain the recommended dose and infusion plan.
This phase III trial compares perioperative chemotherapy (given before and after surgery) versus adjuvant chemotherapy (given after surgery) for the treatment of pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery (removable/resectable). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before and after surgery (perioperatively) may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to giving chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvantly).
This is a Phase I, multi center study to evaluate the safety and efficacy and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of RP72 as monotherapy and RP72 in combination with Gemcitabine in patients with pancreatic cancer. The study has two arms: Arm A: RP72 monotherapy Arm B: RP72 in combination with Gemcitabine Both treatment arms will follow a standard 3+3 design. Up to 48 adult patients with pancreatic cancer will be enrolled in this study.
Endoscopic placement of a self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) is the principle method for palliation of inoperable malignant distal biliary obstruction. However, none of bare, covered, and anti-reflux metal stent alone constantly demonstrated superiority over the others in the stent patency. To compensate for the limitations of each stent, a double stent system in which both covered and bare SEMSs are integrated into one stent system was introduced. In the current study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this stent in patients with inoperable malignant distal biliary obstruction.
The present study is aimed at detecting and measuring mRNA levels of genes involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in biological samples, i.e. in peripheral blood samples of pancreatic cancer (PC) patients and healthy controls, to determine the presence of disease, its progression and risk of recurrence.
