Filter by:Hepatic (hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)) and pancreatic (pancreatic adenocarcinoma (ADKP); pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (TNEP)) primary tumors are the most common malignant tumors of the hepato-bilio-pancreatic system and represent a major public health issue. At present, the management of these tumors is based on recommendations based on the existence of rudimentary prognostic and theranostics markers that do not sufficiently accurately reflect the heterogeneity of tumor biology. It therefore seems essential to identify new and more relevant markers in order to optimize the care of these patients in daily practice. Metabolic reprogramming is now recognized as an essential feature of cancer cells, allowing them to fuel and maintain their proliferation and tumor growth. Such metabolic reprogramming requires modification of several energy pathways, the most commonly recognized being the transition from energy metabolism based on oxidative phosphorylation to energy metabolism based on glycolysis, even under aerobic conditions (Warburg effect). In this context, the investigators hypothesized that the consumption of nutrients by the tumor cell differs significantly from that of the normal cell in order to support its increased energy needs, and that this important and specific metabolic reprogramming would be correlated with the histo-prognostic and theranostics factors of these tumors. Preliminary analyses on surgical resection parts conducted by the various partners in 2019 made it possible to characterize the metabolic signatures of a series of HCC and ADKP resected using the Metafora biosystems technology platform. These signatures reflect a metabolic program characteristic of these tumors, which reveal strong specificities. Similarly, a candidate signature correlating with the presence of vascular microscopic invasion has been identified in HCC, and the level of activation of glycolysis and glutaminolysis by certain ADKP cells also appears as a trait of interest vis-à-vis the aggressiveness of this cancer. Thus, the current project will aim to confirm the feasibility of identifying specific prognostic and theranostics metabolic signatures early, on biopsy samples and / or circulating blood cells.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if plasma ctDNA and eccDNA before resection for suspicion of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can predict early recurrence and overall survival, and to investigate if plasma ctDNA combined with CT scan and endoscopic ultrasound surveillance increases the median overall survival compared with standard-of-care surveillance.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of IDE161.
This clinical trial is looking at a combination of drugs called trastuzumab and pertuzumab. This combination of drugs is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with metastatic breast cancer. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab work in patients with these types of cancers which have a molecular alteration called HER2 amplification or HER2 activating mutation. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which are also HER2 amplified or HER2 mutated. If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.
Owing to that the previous study of the investigators showed that SBRT plus pembrolizumab and trametinib provided favorable outcomes compared with SBRT plus gemcitabine for pancreatic cancer, therefore, the investigators aim to further investigate the efficacy and safety of SBRT plus another kind of immunotherapy, namely adoptive cell therapy (vNKT cell), for advanced pancreatic cancer.
The second generation of mesothelin targeted CAR-T cells that secret a fusion protein of IL21 and scfv against PD1 have been constructed and their anti-cancer function has been verified by multiple in vitro and in vivo studies. Clinical studies will be performed to test anti-cancer function of the CAR-T cells for immunotherapy of human cancer patients with Mesothelin expressions. In this phase I study, the safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of the Mesothelin-CAR-T cell immunotherapy on human cancers will firstly be evaluated.
The objective of this research is to find out what effects (good and bad), the combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel therapy (GEM-ABR for the rest of the document), standard chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer, and the TheraBionic device has on participants' condition.
This is an open label study to determine the safety and preliminary evidence of a therapeutic effect of azeliragon in patients refractory to prior treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This trial is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center clinical trial designed to demonstrate that stereotactic adaptive radiotherapy using an ablatively dosed (50Gy,5fx) for treatment of borderline-resectable, locally-advanced , or medically inoperable pancreatic adenocarcinoma will translate into a decreased toxicity. The study will evaluate GI toxicity, overall survival, local control, quality of life, and workflow metrics.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the OATD-02 administration (orally) in monotherapy is safe and has the pharmacodynamic potential to restore and enhance tumour responses to immunotherapy through increased arginine levels or intrinsic anti-tumour activity in participants with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, renal cancer or pancreatic cancer.
