Filter by:In patients with pancreatic cancer, older age, multiple comorbidities, frailty, malnutrition and poor functional status are common, especially in individuals receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. These characteristics represent potentially modifiable risk factors for poor postoperative outcomes. The goal of this clinical randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the extent to which a four-week multimodal prehabilitation program impacts on postoperative morbidity, functional and nutritional status and health-related quality of life in patients with localized pancreatic or periampullary cancer scheduled for curative surgery. In addition, the impact of prehabilitation on circulating sarcopenia and cancer cachexia biomarkers in PDAC patients will be explored. Included patients will be randomized (ratio 1:1) and allocated either to the intervention group (Multimodal Prehabilitation), which will receive prehabilitation, or to the control group, which will receive no prehabilitation.
A clinical database has been prospectively maintained by the investigators, with details of pancreatic resections since January 2016. It includes pre-operative details, details of multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting, details of pre-operative biliary stenting, intra-operative details, post-operative morbidity and mortality, details of histopathological diagnosis, recurrence and survival. Data was collected onto the database (excel sheet) from trust data software, clinic letters, Somerset Cancer registry and clinical portal.
Lymph node metastases are a strong prognostic predictor for pancreatic cancer. Para-aortic lymph nodes (PALN) are the final nodes for periampullary cancers before the cancer cells enter the systemic lymphatic circulation. Some consider these nodes to be regional lymph nodes and dissect them as a part of a routine lymphadenectomy for pancreatic cancer. Others argue that metastases to these nodes represent systemic disease and recommend that radical surgery including extended lymphadenectomy should be abandoned. The aim of this study is to define the incidence and clinical consequences of PALN metastasis in patients submitted to a tentative curative resection for carcinoma of the head of the pancreas by systematically resecting paraaortic lymph nodes. Primary outcome 1) To determine incidence of PALN metastasis in patients submitted to a tentative curative resection Secondary outcomes 1. To determine prognosis of patients with PALN metastasis after a curative resection 2. To determine incidence of metastasis in reginal lymph nodes in patients submitted to a tentative curative resection. 3. To determine prognosis of patients with metastasis in regional lymph nodes in patients submitted to a tentative curative resection. 4. To address the question of how to optimize the frozen section analyses of PALN as related to the final pathology report. 300 patients are planned to be included in the trial.
The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to learn about TNG348, a ubiquitin specific peptidase 1 (USP1) inhibitor, alone and in combination with olaparib in patients with BRCA 1/2 mutant or HRD+ solid tumors. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single agent and combination therapy - to determine the recommended dose for Phase 2 of single agent and combination therapy - to determine the pharmacokinetics of TNG348 as a single agent and in combination therapy - to evaluate the initial antineoplastic activity as a single agent and in combination therapy Participants will receive study treatment until they experience an undesirable side effect, their disease progresses or until they withdraw consent.
This study is an open-label, multicentre, Phase 1b trial designed to determine the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK, pharmacodynamics (PD) and proof-of-concept of OMO-103 in combination with the standard regimen gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who are treatment-naïve in the advanced disease setting.
The goal of the IMPACT project is to set up a data sharing infrastructure between expert centers for pancreatic surgery that enables training, testing and validation of computer science tools to improve quality of care for patients with pancreatic cancer.
To investigate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of TCR-T cells in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a cancer of grave prognosis, with only about 10% of patients alive at 5 years after diagnosis. Primary surgical resection is feasible in about 10-15% of patients with an early-stage disease. Another 30-35% of patients have locally advanced disease with invasion into major vasculature but without detectable metastases. Surgery offers a chance of cure. The introduction of adjuvant multi-agent chemotherapy has improved prognosis after surgery. In the management of patients with PDAC, the role of neoadjuvant therapy is less certain. Neoadjuvant therapy for pancreatic cancer can in theory control early systemic spread and improve rate of having no macroscopic or microscopic residual tumor (R0 resection). In the The European Study Group for Pancreatic Cancer (ESPAC-5) study, neoadjuvant combination chemotherapy did not increase rate of resection who had borderline-resectable disease but appears to improve overall survival (OS). Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy may represent a new paradigm in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Mesothelin (MSLN) is a 40 kDa membrane protein not expressed in normal cells, but highly expressed in a variety of cancer cells, such as mesothelioma, lung, breast, ovarian, gastric and pancreatic cancer. MSLN is expressed about 80% of PDAC. There are several immunotherapies targeting MSLN for PDAC treatment, including antibody-based drugs (monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, immunotoxins), vaccines, and CAR-T cell therapy. The safety of CAR-T cells targeting MSLN in the treatment of cancers has also been verified in several clinical trials on lung cancers (NCT01583686, NCT02414269, NCT01355965). Professor Li Peng's group at the Chinese Academy of Science designed third generation CAR-T cells targeting MSLN and validated their use in both human PDAC cell lines, animal models, and in 4 patients with advanced malignancies. In a 42-year-old man with metastatic PDAC, the MSLN targeted CAR-T treatment led to complete response follow several hepatic artery infusion and intravenous infusion. These early cases confirmed the safety of these MSLN targeted CAR-T cells. In the current proposed feasibility study, the researcher hypothesise that Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided injection of MSLN targeted CAR-T cells into PDAC can induce a tumor response, improve rate of R0 resection and translate into better patient survival.
This is a multi-center, open-label， randomized controlled Phase II clinical study to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Penpulimab combined with Anlotinib and Nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine (PAAG ) versus AG first-line treatment in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
The goal of this study is to test A2B694, an autologous logic-gated Tmod™ CAR T-cell product in subjects with solid tumors including colorectal cancer (CRC), pancreatic cancer (PANC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian cancer (OVCA), mesothelioma (MESO), and other solid tumors that express MSLN and have lost HLA-A*02 expression. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Phase 1: What is the recommended dose of A2B694 that is safe for patients Phase 2: Does the recommended dose of A2B694 kill the solid tumor cells and protect the patient's healthy cells Participants will be required to perform study procedures and assessments, and will also receive the following study treatments: Enrollment and Apheresis in BASECAMP-1 (NCT04981119) Preconditioning Lymphodepletion (PCLD) Regimen A2B694 Tmod CAR T cells at the assigned dose
