Filter by:The aim of this study was to evaluate MR/PET with both functional and molecular imaging on the prediction of prognosis in patients with suspected pancreatic cancer.
The primary objective is to confirm clinical safety and feasibility of combining the antigen-loaded Dendritic Cell (DC) vaccine with chemotherapy including folinic acid, oxaliplatin, irinotecan and 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) (FOLFIRINOX) and nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine in patients with pancreatic cancer. The secondary objectives of this trial are to determine preliminary clinical efficacy based on response rates, overall survival and progression free survival compared with historic control, and surgical conversion rate as defined as percent of locally advanced (unresectable) patients achieving resectability within 6 months of treatment initiation. Also, to identify vaccine immunogenicity by measuring acquired, T cell-mediated immune activating events post-vaccination and to correlate clinical response with acquired immune responses.
In pancreatic cancer, targeting the tumor microenvironment has become a promising therapeutic strategy. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) pathway activation is essential for promoting a fibrotic and inflammatory tumor microenvironment, and FAK inhibitors have demonstrated reasonable anti-tumor activity in the preclinical setting. Furthermore, a maximal synergetic effect was achieved when a FAK inhibitor was given in combination with a PD-1 antagonist and chemotherapy in multiple pancreas tumor animal models. This supports the concept of using FAK inhibitors to reduce stromal fibrosis during checkpoint immunotherapeutic treatment. Therefore, these robust preclinical findings will be tested in the proposed phase I trial.
RATIONALE: Placing a tumor antigen chimeric receptor that has been created in the laboratory into patient autologous or donor-derived T cells may make the body build immune response to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying genetically engineered lymphocyte therapy in treating patients with Relapsed and/or Chemotherapy Refractory Advanced Malignancies.
French national multicentric phase III trial evaluating chemotherapy with Folfirinox or gemcitabine in locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma.
Phase 1a/1b does-escalation study of cabiralizumab alone and with nivolumab in advanced solid tumors.
This study is performed to confirm whether resection of the nerve plexus on the right half of celiac and SMA associated with extended pancreatoduodenectomy could improve survival and relieve pain of pancreatic cancer patients.
This is a study of ARQ-761 (beta-lapachone) with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy in subjects with advanced (metastatic, unresectable, or recurrent) pancreatic cancer that has not been treated with gemcitabine.
This is an open label, single arm, phase II trial of Olaparib for (PDAC) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients with BRCAness (breast cancer gene). All study subjects will receive Olaparib in a dose of 300 mg p.o twice daily. Treatment will continue until progression, intolerable toxicity or as per patient preference. Primary objective: To determine the efficacy of Olaparib monotherapy in stage IV pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)with (BRCAness) BRCA -Breast Cancer susceptibility gene.
This study compares the effect of acupuncture and placebo acupuncture on advanced pancreatic cancer pain and then investigates its potential mechanism of peripheral blood.
