The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of modified FOLFIRINOX followed by stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) and locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). The primary hypothesis will be to determine if modified FOLFIRINOX followed by SBRT improves progression free survival (PFS) compared to historical controls treated with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy with or without standard fractionated radiation.
The outcome of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. NCCN guidelines recommend FOLFIRINOX or modified-FOLFIRINOX as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen, but the response rate is unacceptably low. PD-1 blockade has been developed to a new class of cancer immunotherapy that could restore an adequate immunosurveillance against the neoplasm and enhance T-cell-mediated anticancer immune responses. Manganese has been confirmed to activate antigen-presenting cells and function as mucosal immunoadjuvants in pre-clinical studies. This one-arm, phase I/II study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of Manganese primed combined therapy of anti-PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy.
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. Current guidelines recommend FOLFIRINOX or modified-FOLFIRINOX as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen. Studies have shown that immunotherapy with Anti-PD-1 antibody can effectively increase the response rate and prolong patient survival in a number of cancer diseases. Here investigators intend to compare the therapeutic effects of modified-FOLFIRINOX alone and the combination of modified-FOLFIRINOX and Anti-PD-1 antibody in patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
The latest guidelines recommend Gemcitabine plus Capecitabine as the first choice of adjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer patients in good physical condition. In order to prolong the survival of patients and improve the cure rate, metronomic chemotherapy with capecitabine is a safe, effective and economical treatment mode after adjuvant chemotherapy. This study is trying to determine that compared with observation group, if capecitabine metronomic medication is a better choice after adjuvant chemotherapy.
The RESTORE II randomized controlled trial will examine the efficacy of a 12 week multidisciplinary rehabilitation program consisting of supervised and home-based exercise,1:1 dietetic counselling, and group education sessions for survivors of upper gastrointestinal cancer, namely cancers of the oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, and liver.
Immunotherapy has become the major breakthrough and the most promising treatment, with the host of development of tumor biology, molecular biology and immunology. ROBO1 is a potential target and spectacular paradigm in the treatment of solid tumors. This study is for evaluation of the safety and efficacy of ROBO1 CAR-NK cell immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer.
Studies have shown that injecting local anesthetics in areas rich in blood vessels increases the risk of drug injection into blood vessels by mistake and increases the systemic absorption of drugs, which may increase the incidence of central nervous system and cardiovascular system toxic events caused by local anesthetics.EUS-CPN-related complications have not been clearly associated with local anesthetic adverse events.However, EUS-CPN local anesthetic injection area is located around the beginning of the abdominal trunk with abundant large and small blood vessels. The choice of local anesthetics with higher safety than bupivacaine, such as ropivacaine, is of great significance to ensure the safety of eus-cpn, especially for eus-cpn beginners.At present, there are no reports on the application of ropivacaine in eus-cpn.
The main goal of this study is to explore the relationship between new-onset diabetes mellitus/deteriorating diabetes and a subsequent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP) will be utilized to screen for early stage pancreatic cancer or precursor lesions. Participants will be asked to donate a blood sample at specific intervals for the creation of a bio-bank necessary for the development of a blood based screening test for pancreatic cancer.
This is a Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy of a non-myeloablative lymphodepleting preparative regimen followed by infusion of autologous TIL and high-dose aldesleukin in patients with locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic cancer associated with one of the following cancer types: 1.) gastric/esophagogastric, 2.) colorectal, 3.) pancreatic, 4.) sarcoma, 5.) mesothelioma, 6.) neuroendocrine, 7.) squamous cell cancer, 8.) Merkle cell, 9.) mismatch repair deficient and/or microsatellite unstable cancers, and 10.) patients who have exhausted conventional systemic therapy options by using the objective response rate (ORR).
