Filter by:The purpose of this study is to figure out which commonly used antibiotic, cefoxitin or piperacillin-tazobactam, is better at decreasing the rate of surgical site infections after pancreatoduodenectomy.
Fibrinogen/thrombin-coated collagen patch (TachoSil®) is known to have the effect of strengthening tissue anastomosis and promoting suturing to prevent leakage. The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of pancreatic fistula that is most crucial for surgical outcome and complications in pancreaticoduodenectomy with those of the control group and the TachoSil® apply group. Patients who were planned to undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy without a history of chronic pancreatitis are enrolled in this open-label, single-center, randomized, single-blind, phase 4 clinical trial.
This protocol will confirm toxicities and estimate the clinical efficacy of combining anti-CD3 x anti-EGFR bispecific antibody (EGFRBi) armed activated T cells (EGFR BATs) given to patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who have received at least one dose of first line chemotherapy and may have responding, stable or progressive disease. Phase Ib will confirm a safe dose of 8 infusions, given twice weekly, of EGFR-BATs in 3 to 6 subjects. The phase II portion of the trial will test the clinical efficacy of this dose in 22 patients (including those in Phase Ib).
This pilot clinical trial studies how well Walking for Recovery from Surgery works in improving quality of life in older adults with lung or gastrointestinal cancer and their family caregivers. A walking program, such as Walking for Recovery from Surgery may help support overall well-being as a caregiver, and may help improve family member or friend's recovery from surgery.
Immunotherapy has become the major breakthrough and the most promising treatment, with the host of development of tumor biology, molecular biology and immunology. It has become the fourth tumor treatment model after traditional tumor therapies (surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy) . Mesothelin, PSCA, CEA, HER2, MUC1 and EGFRvIII are potential targets and spectacular paradigm in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. This study is for evaluation of the safety and efficacy of Mesothelin, PSCA, CEA, HER2, MUC1, EGFRvIII targeted and other CAR-T cell immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of combining immune therapy, pembrolizumab, with a hypomethylating agent, azacitidine, for pancreatic cancer. People who have advanced pancreatic cancer with disease progression on first-line therapy are usually treated with a second chemotherapy regimen. However, there is no single accepted chemotherapy regimen and national guidelines recommend chemotherapy or clinical trial participation. In this study, all study subjects will receive a combination of immune therapy (every 3 weeks) and a hypomethylating agent (every 4 weeks). To date, studies have shown that combining a hypomethylating agent with chemotherapy or immune therapy may benefit patients across different solid tumor types including pancreatic cancer. Preclinical data in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer demonstrates improvement in survival with the combination of a hypomethylating agent and immune therapy. However, the use of single agent hypomethylating agent or immune therapy has not been shown to be effective in patients with pancreatic cancer. The one exception, to date, is the use of immune therapy in those individuals with a particular genetic feature known as mismatch repair deficiency and microsatellite instability. The combination of immune therapy and a hypomethylating agent has not been studied in human subjects and is not approved by the FDA for use in pancreatic cancer. This is a non-randomized, single-center, open-label trial of pembrolizumab and azacitidine in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Approximately 31 individuals will be asked to participate in this study.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and tolerability of TAK-931 in a cohort of Western participants with metastatic solid tumors and to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of TAK-931 in participants with metastatic pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), squamous esophageal cancer (sqEC), and squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC).
Bio-repository to collect bio-specimens from patients with 1) pancreatic cysts and 2) patients at high risk, defined by family history and/or genetic mutations, for pancreatic cancer.
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of guadecitabine and how well it works when given together with durvalumab in treating patients with liver, pancreatic, bile duct, or gallbladder cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Guadecitabine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving guadecitabine and durvalumab may work better in treating patients with liver, pancreatic, bile duct, or gallbladder cancer.
The study is a multi-center, un-blinded, randomized control study of subjects with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma which is unresectable.
