Filter by:The purpose of this study is to develop a test for detection of pancreatic cancer by looking at the subject's DNA.
This is a phase I trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose of carbon ion radiotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced, unresectable, pancreatic cancer.
This Nationwide stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial is designed to evaluate if the implementation of a best practice algorithm for postoperative care results in a decrease in incidence of major complications and death after pancreatic resection as compared to current practice.
This study is a multi-center phase 3 trial to evaluate a treatment strategy for selecting patients who can benefit from the synchronous resection of primary pancreatic cancer and liver oligometastasis after induction chemotherapy. Half of participants who meet the entry criterion will receive surgical intervention, while the other half will continue to receive standard chemotherapy.
This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with pancreatic cancer who have progressed on or after previous SoC chemotherapy.
Phase 1 is an open-label, multi-center dose escalation/dose expansion study designed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) for the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of IMX-110. The RP2D will be evaluated in a further dose expansion Phase 2a study submitted.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiation therapy combined with anti-PD-1 antibody in patients with pancreatic cancer
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.
A phase I/II open label study to assess the efficacy and safety of ABTL0812 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in patients with advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer at first line therapy and as maintenance therapy after chemotherapy
Surgical resection is the only option for cure for patients with a resectable tumor located at the head of the pancreas. At the time of diagnosis, these patients often suffer from jaundice. Studies have suggested, that jaundice might increase the risk of developing a serious postoperative complication. Preoperative biliary drainage is widely used, because it is considered to improve the surgical outcome and reduce the amount of postoperative complications. There are also studies that suggest the opposite. In these studies the overall complication rate with patients who underwent preoperative biliary drainage was higher than in the patients who were operated right away. A significant amount of these complications were related to the biliary drainage process itself. However, preoperative biliary decompression is widely used in many centers as many surgical centers don't possess the needed resources to arrange early surgery. The benefits and risks of this procedure remain unclear. This multicenter trial aims to compare the surgical outcome and the rate of serious complications in patients who proceed directly to early surgery and patients who have preoperative biliary drainage.
