Filter by:The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if Niraparib can help to control metastatic pancreatic cancer. The safety of this drug will also be studied. Niraparib is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Its use in this study is investigational.
This study is being done to test whether receiving a dose of radiation that is higher than the standard dose, in combination with chemotherapy, improves the chance of becoming a candidate for surgery and improves the chance of extending the patient's life.
This research study is a two stage study which consists of a safety run-in phase and a randomized phase 2 study which include subjects with previously-untreated, metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In the run-in safety study, the safety of adding two formulations (IV or Oral) of paricalcitol to a standard chemotherapy program of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel will be evaluated. The randomized phase 2 study will evaluate the efficacy of paricalcitol when added to gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel The drugs involved in this study are: - Paricalcitol - Gemcitabine - Nab-paclitaxel
Pancreatic cancer patients receive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells against mesothelin (CARTmeso) or CD19 (CART19) cells administered at 3 days via pancreatic artery infusion or i.v. after preconditioning of cyclophosphamide. Both CART cells are autologous. CARTmeso cells target pancreatic cells which highly express mesothelin, while CART19 cells target tumor-associated B cells expressing cluster of differentiation antigen 19 (CD19) which are mostly immunosuppressive. The investigators hypothesize that this combination therapy may enhance the efficacy of CARTmeso cells in the body. Additionally, a medium dose of cyclophosphamide is used to enhance the engraftment of CART cells.
The overarching hypothesis of this trial is that the NAPOLI regimen and alternating cycles of NAPOLI and mFOLFOX6 (seq-NAPOLI-FOLFOX) are superior to the current standard of care gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. Furthermore, we propose that the NAPOLI regimen and seq-NAPOLI-FOLFOX display favourable safety profiles and allow for longer first line treatment and higher rate of transition into the second line setting.
Second-line therapy with Nal-IRI after failure gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in advanced pancreatic cancer - predictive role of 1st-line therapy
This phase III trial studies cabozantinib to see how well it works compared with placebo in treating patients with neuroendocrine or carcinoid tumors that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Cabozantinib is a chemotherapy drug known as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and it targets specific tyrosine kinase receptors, that when blocked, may slow tumor growth.
PURPOSE: To determine the prognostic properties of a comprehensive evaluation of body composition and physical function in patients with GI-HEP cancer from point of diagnosis and throughout the treatment trajectory. GI-HEP: Patients with tumors of the upper gastrointestinal or hepatobiliary tract, specifically tumors of the esophagus, gastro-esophageal junction, stomach, primary tumors of the liver or biliary tract, as well as colorectal liver metastasis or tumors of the pancreas.
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 2 will be based on Simon's two-stage optimal design.
Antroquinonol is proposed for the treatment of neoplasms. The proposed clinical trial is a Phase I/II study designed to evaluate antroquinonol in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine in first line treatment naïve subjects with Stage IV metastatic pancreatic carcinoma. The first part of study will focus on the treatment of pancreatic cancer with 200 mg TID and 300 mg TID, clinical treatment duration of 4 weeks, to determine the MTD or MFD (based on PK and capsules strength) of antroquinonol in combination with a standard dose regimen of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine. The extended Phase II will focus on the efficacy of antroquinonol with SOC. Safety and pharmacokinetic profiles will be studied in the proposed clinical trial.
