Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is one of the most complicated surgical procedure and one of the standard treatments for benign and malignant disease of pancreatic head and periampullary region. Improvements in surgical techniques and the perioperative management of patients undergoing PD have reduced the surgical mortality rates to less than 3% in high-volume medical centers. However, the incidence of postoperative complication remains high, which ranges from 30% to 50% and the pancreatic fistula rate ranges from 5% to 40%. The key point of PD is still the enteric reconstruction of pancreatic stump. There were different techniques of enteric reconstruction, including: invagination pancreaticojejunostomy, binding pancreaticojejunostomy, duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy, Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy, and pancreaticogastrostomy and each technique had its advantages and disadvantages. We established a new digestive reconstruction technique named shark mouth modified pancreaticojejunostomy, which had theoretical advantages including easier performed; lower tension and less complication. The shark mouth modified pancreaticojejunostomy is an end-to-end pancreaticojejunostomy procedure which is between invagination pancreaticojejunostomy and binding pancreaticojejunostomy.The remnant of jejunum is shaped as shark mouth and then sutured with the pancreas remnant. After the surgery, the patients will be well followed up. The pancreaticojejunostomy time, post-operation complication, mortality and hospital stay will be documented to study the safety, efficiency and advantage of this new procedure.
The purpose of this study is to develop a minimally invasive test to diagnose pancreatic cancer at early stages of disease and monitor response to treatment.
Phase I study to establish the safety and feasibility of both intravenous administration and local delivery of lentiviral transduced huCART-meso cells in patients with histologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma
This is an open-label, phase II study in patients with resectable and borderline resectable pancreas cancer.
No validated biomarkers to identify PC at an early stage and to predict treatment outcomes in the individual patient exist. The objective of the present study is to find diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers.
Immunotherapy has become the major breakthrough and the most promising treatment, with the host of development of tumor biology, molecular biology and immunology. It has become the fourth tumor treatment model after traditional tumor therapies (surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy) . Mesothelin, PSCA, CEA, HER2, MUC1 and EGFRvIII are potential targets and spectacular paradigm in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. This study is for evaluation of the safety and efficacy of Mesothelin, PSCA, CEA, HER2, MUC1, EGFRvIII targeted and other CAR-T cell immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer.
The aim of this study is to determine the usefulness of circulating tumor DNA as a prognostic factor in patients with pancreatic cancer.
Background: A new cancer therapy involves taking white blood cells from a person, growing them in the lab, genetically modifying them, then giving them back to the person. This therapy is called gene transfer using anti-KRAS G12V mTCR cells. Objective: To see if anti-KRAS G12 V mTCR cells are safe and can shrink tumors. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with cancer that has the KRAS G12V molecule on the surface of tumors. Design: In another protocol, participants will: Be screened Have cells harvested and grown Have leukapheresis In this protocol, participants will have the procedures below. Participants will be admitted to the hospital. Over 5 days, participants will get 2 chemotherapy medicines as an infusion via catheter in the upper chest. A few days later, participants will get the anti-KRAS G12V mTCR cells via catheter. For up to 3 days, participants will get a drug to make the cells active. A day after getting the cells, participants will get a drug to increase their white blood cell count. This will be a shot or injection under the skin. Participants will recover in the hospital for 1-2 weeks. They will have lab and blood tests. Participants will take an antibiotic for at least 6 months. Participants will have visits every few months for 2 years, and then as determined by their doctor. Visits will be 1-2 days. They will include lab tests, imaging studies, and physical exam. Some visits may include leukapheresis or blood drawn. Participants will have blood collected over several years.
