Filter by:This is a safety study to determine the recommended dose to test in clinical trials. The study involves two treatments with 212Pb (212-lead) VMT-α-NET. This is a safety study only; it will most likely not provide therapeutic benefit.
The goal of this research is to use chromatin immunoprecipitation, a method used to study protein-DNA interaction, as a tool to diagnose and prognose pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in human samples. This is a Non-Human Subject Research study. All participants are de-identified.
The IMPULS trial is a randomized, triple-blinded, placebo controlled, single center, pilot trial examining the efficacy and safety of preoperative propranolol in patients scheduled for pancreatic cancer surgery. The study is conducted as a type 1 hybrid efficacy-implementation trial of 30 patients. This study is designed to provide pilot data for a future larger perioperative study of propranolol with the aim of improving outcomes for pancreatic cancer surgery. In total, 30 participants will be allocated in a 1:1 ratio with 15 participants enrolled in each trial arm (propranolol vs. placebo). Participants will be allocated to either 40 mg propranolol twice daily or placebo twice daily in 10 days prior to planned surgery. Primary outcomes: Evaluating the efficacy of preoperative propranolol on anxiety and in pro-tumorigenic changes (e.g., in the tumor tissue and in blood samples) in patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, to obtain follow up data (e.g., 90-day mortality, postoperative complications etc. on the patients receiving propranolol versus placebo). Heart rate variability among the participants will also be examined. Secondary: Examining the safety and tolerability of 40 mg preoperative propranolol twice daily in patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic cancer. Tertiary: Evaluating the feasibility and implementation of the trial (using the APEASE framework). This will help identify barriers and enablers to a future larger study. Short-time propranolol treatment is considered safe with a mild and manageable safety-profile. Risk-management, mitigations and guidelines to ensure patient safety is included in the protocol. Since this clinical trial is exploratory in nature, no sample-size calculation is performed.
Specifically, in this project, the objective will be developped a model to capture imaging-based tumor heterogeneity with multiscale radiomics approach by obtaining the mirror tumor image at in vivo MRI, ex vivo MRI at histology. This imaging model giving a perfect virtual histology tumor representation will be secondary implemented on routine in vivo clinical MRI for early cancer detection and treatment monitoring. Successful completion of this proposal will lead to a comprehensive non invasive characterisation of pancreatic cancer and will be a game changer in patient management.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of TTI-101 given in combination with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
LIBRARY is a prospective, multi-center, observational study aimed at detecting early liver, biliary tract, and pancreatic cancers by combining assays of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation, serum protein, and microRNA.
- Clinical trial phase: Phase 2 - Intervention model: Control group - Group allocation: Randomized controlled trial - Research perspective: Prospective study - Participating centers: Multicenter study - Definition of the intervention period: Based on the RECIST 1.1 guidelines, patients will receive treatment until dropout due to disease progression or unacceptable toxicity related to the trial drug. Patients will be followed up with to assess survival every 2 months until either death or the end of the trial, whichever is first. - The intervention period is from the date of IRB approval to December 31st, 2025 - The follow-up duration is one year, and the statistical analysis duration is six months - The total research period is from the date of IRB approval to June 30th, 2026
There has been long-standing debate about nodal dissection in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), with most studies examining the value of nodal yields, number of metastatic nodes and spatial location of metastases being conducted in the upfront surgery setting. With increasing use of a chemotherapy-first approach even in early stage PDAC, the validity of nodal parameters in post-treatment PD has been brought into question due to therapy-induced lymph node (LN) shrinkage. However, the available information is based on retrospective data or administrative registries, which only considered the number of examined and metastatic nodes, without detailed information regarding the dissection protocol and the influence of nodal metastases location. Back in 2013, corresponding to the standard lymphadenectomy definition release by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) and the diffusion of multi-agent chemotherapy regimens, an institutional, station-based nodal dissection protocol was established for post-neoadjuvant PD. The aim was to investigate whether the pattern of metastatic spread within the nodal basin is a superior quality metric for prognosis relative to the count-based classification system.
A multi-cohort, open-label, multicenter exploratory clinical study of Bemalenograstim alfa for the prevention of reduced absolute neutrophil count(ANC) in patients with colorectal cancer/pancreatic cancer following a bi-weekly chemotherapy regimen.A total of 89 patients are planned to be enrolled.
This clinical trial tests how well surgical resection after chemotherapy given before surgery to make the tumor smaller (neoadjuvant) works to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). In general, surgery is considered the most effective treatment for pancreatic cancer, especially when the cancer is localized and has not spread to other organs. However, most patients with pancreatic cancer are not candidates for surgical removal because the cancer has grown into or close to nearby arteries, veins, or organs and there is a concern of damaging these nearby structures. Researchers want to find out if surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be done safely to completely remove the tumor in patients with locally advanced and unresectable pancreatic cancer.
