Filter by:The goal of this study is to test whether chemotherapy guided by a new imaging method named DCE-MRI can more effectively reduce a pancreatic tumor, enabling curable surgery, over the conventional method when a tumor is categorized as borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. UAB radiological research team has been studying a cutting-edge imaging technique named dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, or DCE-MRI, for over 10 years. This technique has been globally used to calculate the blood flow of various tissues, including tumors. Blood flow often serves as a critical indicator showing a disease status. For example, a pancreatic tumor typically has low blood flow, so it can be used as an indicator to identify the presence of a pancreatic tumor. In addition, an effective therapy can result in the increase of blood flow in a pancreatic tumor during the early period of treatment. Therefore, the investigators may be able to determine whether the undergoing therapy is effective or not by measuring the change of blood flow in the pancreatic tumor and deciding whether to continue the therapy or try a different one.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of immune cell therapy using autologous bone marrow-derived dendritic cells and immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have failed at least one standard anticancer treatment.
This is a proof-of-concept study designed to investigate HER3-DXd monotherapy in locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study is enrolling cohorts of participants with melanoma [cutaneous/acral], squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (SCCHN), and HER2-negative gastric cancerovarian carcinoma, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, and prostate cancer.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of irinotecan liposomes with oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) / leucovorin (LV) with or without adelizumab for resectable pancreatic cancer by assessing the 12-month EFS rate
The purpose of this study is to find out how effective and safe glipizide is for lowering blood sugar in people with pancreatic cancer.
This study intends to design the prospective, exploratory, single center clinical study, using targeted EGFR fluorescence imaging agent (anti-EGFR-IR800CW) and fluorescent navigation technology, in its lymph node tracing, intraoperative tumor localization, accurate determination of resection margin, and explore its clinical significance in radical surgical resection of pancreatic cancer.
This study aims to compare the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy using the Kimura technique versus the Warshaw technique. The primary focus is on the rates of unplanned splenectomy, occurrence of severe complications, as well as intraoperative and perioperative outcomes of both techniques.
This is a prospective, single arm, phase II clinical study investigating second-line Zimberelimab and SIROX chemotherapy for patient with previously AG chemotherapy treated pancreatic cancer.
This study is a multi-center, observational study aiming at developing a machine learning-based early detection model using prospectively collected liquid biopsy samples from clinically-annotated individuals.
Pancreatic enucleation could preserve more healthy pancreatic tissues and functions with a low recurrence risk. However, conventional enucleation can cause significant intraoperative bleeding, especially in which tumors in the pancreatic head, neck, and uncinate process of pancreas, as these tissues are rich in blood supply, mainly including the abdominal trunk and the superior mesenteric artery. In this study, we developed a novel method to control the pancreatic blood flow in laparoscopic enucleation--blocking the abdominal trunk and superior mesenteric artery with vascular occlusion clips in the process of resection, and evaluated its effectiveness and safety.
