Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a commercial WATD (Wearable Activity Tracker Device) to collect HRV (Heart Rate Variability) data from pancreatic and breast cancer patients.
Aim of the study: To evaluate the value of Probe Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (PCLE) in surgery for pancreatic tumor. Methods: Patients who are diagnosed with pancreatic tumor based on preoperative radiographic findings and will undergo radical resection are included in this clinical study. PCLE will be used in surgery to identify tumor is malignant or not, and surgeons will decide procedures of surgery based on outcomes of PCLE. In this present study, clinical trials will be divided into two phases. In the first phase, based on the definitive postoperative pathologic diagnosis, characteristic imaging structures that were collected by PCLE will be identified and primary diagnostic imaging criteria for pancreatic cancer would be developed. In the second phase, this criterion will be used for rapid intraoperative diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and predicting status of resection margin. In addition, accuracy of PCLE will be verified based on postoperative pathologic reports.
The overall rationale of PANCAID is to provide a diagnostic blood test for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. With a set of different liquid biopsy methods, it is the aim to measure these markers in well-defined patient cohorts. For the entire series of these studies, the following groups are planned: 1) Histologically proven early-stage pancreatic cancer (e.g. T1a/b and T2 carcinomas [N0M0]); 2) Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN) that were operated with verification of the benign, premalignant or malignant histology; 3) ordinary branched-duct IPMN; 4) individuals at risk (IAR) with and without IPMN, with and without known hereditary cancer gene (e.g. BRCA2); 5) a high risk group of patients with chronic pancreatitis, aged 55-65, who are heavy smokers (≥40 PY), with newly onset diabetes mellitus (NODM).
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety of the HistoSonics Edison System for the destruction of pancreatic adenocarcinomas using histotripsy.
This is a clinical study to observe the tolerance and primary efficacy of AL2846 capsules combined with Gemzar injection in patients with pancreatic cancer, and to determine the recommended dosage and administration method for subsequent clinical studies.
Adenocyte has developed LINFU®, (Low Intensity Non-Focused Ultrasound excitation of the pancreas) as a method of identifying early, asymptomatic pancreatic cancer and its noninvasive precancerous lesions.. In this study, LINFU® will be evaluated in the general population with no risk factors and who exhibit no signs or symptoms of disease, This study will help determine if LINFU® can be used to help identify early, asymptomatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) or their precursor lesions (PanIn-2, PanIn-3).
Evaluate LINFU® in patients who exhibit signs or symptoms (i.e. jaundice, abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea and vomiting etc.) suggestive of pancreatic cancer (PDAC) or have evidence of imaging studies suggestive of PDAC.
This is a Phase 1, FIH, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) effects, and preliminary antitumor activity of IK-595, a MEK/RAF molecular glue, administered orally as monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors with gene alterations in the RAS- MAPK pathway for whom there are no further treatment options known to confer clinical benefit.
Endoscopy with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a primary technique for diagnosing and treating severe pancreatic disorders. However, the procedure can cause fear and anxiety in patients, especially when a biopsy is involved. Graphic medicine, a form of visual storytelling that explores narratives of healthcare, is being used to alleviate this anxiety. This is a prospective single-center interventional pilot study with the aim to evaluate the impact of a novel graphic on the stress and behaviors of patients with pancreatic lesions undergoing EUS-FNB. The study will run for six months with the aim to enroll patients to llok for differences in the anxiety and stress levels. Enrolled patients will be randomly allocated to the test or control group, with the test group receiving a graphic novel to read while waiting for the procedure. Post-procedure, patients will complete the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and a modified version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (mDASS-21), now named mASS-14 (modified Anxiety Stress Scales-14), to assess anxiety and stress levels. This study is conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki regarding experimentation involving human subjects, and written informed consent will be obtained from all participants before enrollment.
Tumor fibrosis plays an important role in chemotherapy resistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), however there remains a contradiction in the prognostic value of fibrosis. We aimed to investigate the relationship between tumor fibrosis and survival in patients with PDAC, classify patients into high- and low-fibrosis groups, and develop and validate a CT-based radiomics model to non-invasively predict fibrosis before treatment.
