Filter by:Gemcitabine plus S-1 (GS) prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and greatly improved objective response rate (ORR) as well as disease control rate (DCR) of Asian patients with locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer (PC). However, limited data of GS regimen exist on the efficacy and safety in the treatment of Chinese patients with advanced PC. To assess the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine plus S-1 (GS regimen) as the first-line chemotherapy in Chinese patients with advanced PC, we designed this prospective study.
The goal of this study is to partner with individuals known or suspected to have pancreatic cancer to build a biobank dedicated to minimizing disparities and personalizing care for individuals affected by pancreatic cancer. A biobank is a resource that involves collection, processing and storage of blood, other bodily fluids, and tissue.
The investigator is developing an immune therapy against pancreatic cancer. Immune cells, known as "T cells with tumor killing capacity", are involved in this immune therapy. In mice with pancreatic cance there is evidence that one tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccination (that patients receive from childhood) combined with Gemcitabine activates these killer T cells. (Gemcitabine improves T cell responses) These killer T cells are able to destroy tumor cells uploaded with TT protein (such studies are planned in future clinical trials). The goal of this study is to test whether one TT vaccination combined with Gemcitabine treatment activates the same T cells in pancreatic cancer patients.
The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic yield of intermittent versus continuous suction in the diagnosis of pancreatic solid lesions.
A Phase 1/2, open label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of KY1044 as single agent and in combination with anti-PD-L1 (atezolizumab) in adult patients with selected advanced malignancies, who are ineligible for or there are no available therapies known to confer a clinical benefit for their disease, or they have exhausted all such available options in each indication and therefore will be patients for whom a clinical trial is appropriate.
This is a phase 1/1b open label, multicenter dose escalation and dose expansion study to investigate the safety, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of TPST-1120, a small molecule selective antagonist of PPARĪ± (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha) as monotherapy and in combination with a systemic anticancer agent, nivolumab, an anti-PD1 antibody, in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
This is a Phase II , Open-label , Investigator-initiated Trail of Sequential GEMOX/NS Chemotherapy in Patients With untreated Pancreatic cancer. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Sequential GEMOX/NS Chemotherapy as a first-line treatment of untreated Pancreatic cancer.
The investigators are going to explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of circulating tumor cells and exosomes extracted from the portal venous blood obtained with endoscopic ultrasound in pancreatic cancer patients.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a suboptimal response to standard therapies that modestly impact survival due to its ability to evade host immune surveillance. Emerging evidence has shown that the co-inhibitory receptors, such as programmed death 1 (PD-1), play a critical role in cancer immune-editing. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is an immune checkpoint that is often activated in cancer and plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of cancer. The advent of immunotherapy, with checkpoint inhibitors, which block PD-L1 interaction between tumor cells and activated T cells, has significantly altered the treatment algorithm for several solid tumors. However, the clinicopathologic significance and prognostic value of PD-L1 in PDAC remains controversial. The main technical ground may be that PDAC PD-L1 expression quantification is limited to surgical resection specimens and dependent on specific immunohistochemistry (IHC) tests. In addition, PD-L1 expression has not been extensively assessed before surgery in treatment-naive PDAC patients, due to the current IHC test requirement for a histologic rather than a cytologic evaluation. However, a recent study showed that EUS-fine needle biopsy (FNB) can successfully determine primary pancreas malignancy PD-L1 status. One recently identified subtype within the genomic landscape of PDAC is the mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) tumor. Evaluation of dMMR status is particularly important following the FDA approval of the PD-1 inhibitor, pembrolizumab, for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or dMMR PDAC that have progressed following prior treatment, and have no satisfactory alternative treatment options. The objectives of the project will include the assessment of tumor PD-L1/dMMR expression in patients with PDAC using EUS-FNB samples and the prospective correlation of MMR status and PD-L1 expression with overall survival and progression-free survival of PDAC patients.
This trial studies the side effects of self expanding metal stent (SEMS) placement before surgery in unblocking the bile duct in patients with periampullary pancreatic cancer with severe obstructive jaundice. SEMS placement unblocks the bile duct and may help in improving bile drainage prior to surgery in patients with periampullary pancreatic cancer with severe obstructive jaundice.
