The SurePathTM has been approved by the FDA since 1997. Currently, the SurePathTM is used for endometrial cells, body fluids, bronchoscopy aspirates, and thyroid fine needle aspirates. There is an advantage that the denaturation is small, the density of the cells is uniform, and the read area is small so that the read time can be shortened. Therefore, investigators plan to apply the SurePathTM test for pancreatic EUS-FNA specimens. Morphological comparative analysis is needed before completely replacing the existing classical smear test method. The aim of this study is to confirm that the SurePathTM is not inferior and is more accurate than the classical smear test.
The objective of this study is to improve the chemotherapy decision making process for Latinos with advanced gastrointestinal cancers. In this study Latinos who are considering 1st line chemotherapy for newly diagnosed advanced colorectal or pancreatic cancer will be randomized to usual care or to usual care supplemented by a Spanish/English language multimedia chemotherapy educational intervention. Primary informal caregivers will also be invited to participate. This research study is evaluating if a new set of educational materials will improve the treatment decision-making process for Latinos with advanced gastrointestinal cancers. This research study will involve about 154 patients and 154 caregivers.
This research study is studying an investigational therapy as a possible treatment for pancreatic cancer. The drugs involved in this study are: -Niraparib
This study will implement a new treatment regimen for patients with advanced and inoperable pancreatic cancer using chemotherapy combinations of Folfirinox or gemcitabine-nab paclitaxel (abraxane) followed by a short course of high dose radiation called Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). While the chemotherapy is standard of care, the strategy of adding SBRT has not been investigated. An increase in the percentage of patients who can proceed to have surgery to remove their disease is anticipated with this approach.
A multi-institutional, single arm phase II study of nivolumab, cabiralizumab and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with LAUPC. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of combined cabiralizumab, nivolumab and radiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Investigators will also estimate the surgical resection rate following treatment with combined cabiralizumab, nivolumab and radiotherapy in subjects with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer has a 5-year overall survival rate around 5%. It is the 6th most common cancer in France (11 600 new annual cases in 2012) and the 4th leading cause of cancer deaths in France and Europe. Many translational research has tried to identify biomarkers in pancreatic cancer. Only the expression of hENT1 evaluated on the tumor tissue with the mouse antibody seems really relevant by providing a predictive value of the effectiveness of gemcitabine adjuvant. In a metastatic situation, there is no predictive marker of the effectiveness of chemotherapy treatments. GemciTest(TM), studied in this study, is developed by the company Acobiom. Test based on the qRT-PCR technology that allows the establishment of a molecular signature of 10 genes that showed its interest as a biomarker in 60 patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with gemcitabine. Retrospective analysis differentiated 2 patient populations: - 22 patients with a "favorable" expression gene with a median survival of 14.9 months - 35 patients with an "adverse" expression gene with a median survival of 5.1 months Primary objective: To evaluate in patients with pancreatic cancer, treated with Gemcitabine alone or combined (nab-paclitaxel) or with Folfirinox, the prognostic value of the GemciTest(TM) test on overall survival and response to treatment. To realize this study, only one 2.5 mL blood sample is taken before starting chemotherapy. The standard practice data is then saved. 100 patients will be included.
The aim of this study is to identify new prognostic factors in patients affected by advanced pancreatic carcinoma treated with first line chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX regimen. Primary objective is the identification of clinical, laboratory and pathologic factors affecting overall survival of these patients.
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 Standard of Care (SoC) chemotherapy.
The study is to evaluate the R0 resection rate of patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer ,after treated with S-1 plus Paclitaxel-albumin as neoadjuvant chemotherapy protocols
