Filter by:This clinical trial studies the effect of cancer directed therapy given at-home versus in the clinic for patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Currently most drug-related cancer care is conducted in infusion centers or specialty hospitals, where patients spend many hours a day isolated from family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. The logistics and costs of navigating cancer treatments have become a principal contributor to patients' reduced quality of life. It is therefore important to reduce the burden of cancer in the lives of patients and their caregivers, and a vital aspect of this involves moving beyond traditional hospital and clinic-based care and evaluate innovative care delivery models with virtual capabilities. Providing cancer treatment at-home, versus in the clinic, may help reduce psychological and financial distress and increase treatment compliance, especially for marginalized patients and communities.
This is a single-center, open-label randomized controlled Phase II clinical study to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sovantinib in combination with AG versus AG first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. According to the literature analysis, the mPFS of gemcitabine combined with albumin-binding paclitaxel in first-line treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer was 3.56 months in historical controlled studies, and the expected PFS of soantinib combined with AG regimen increased from 2.06 months to 4.5 months after 2 cycles of AG regimen. Follow-up time was 12 months and enrollment time was 18 months. α=0.05 and β=0.2 were used for bilateral test, and the PASS 22 software was used for analysis. The sample size of AG group in the control group was 29 cases, and that of AG combined with Solvatinib in the experimental group was 29 cases. The total sample size needed to be enrolled was 58 cases, and a total of 65 subjects were required according to the 10% shedding rate. This study was divided into three stages: screening period, treatment period and follow-up period. During treatment, tumor status was assessed by imaging every 6 weeks (±7 days) until disease progression (PD, RECIST 1.1) or death (during patient treatment) or toxicity intolerance or other protocol criteria for discontinuation of study therapy were met. A maximum of 6 treatment cycles of AG chemotherapy were specified, and soantinib was continued until disease progression (PD, RECIST 1.1) or death (during patient treatment) or toxicity intolerance or other criteria for discontinuation of study therapy were met in the protocol. Tumor treatment and survival status after disease progression were recorded. Safety outcomes included AE, changes in laboratory test values, vital signs and electrocardiogram changes.
This study will evaluate the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and possible determinants in patients with primary pancreatic cancer undergoing pancreatic cancer resection.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate a new type of dendritic cell vaccine in patients with refractory or advanced solid tumors of the esophagus, liver, pancreas and ovaries. The main questions it aims to answer are: - is it feasible to produce and administer these dendritic cell vaccines? - is treatment with these dendritic cell vaccines safe? Participants will first need to undergo a leukapheresis procedure to collect the cellular starting material for the dendritic cell vaccine production. The treatment consists of 6 vaccines, administered at biweekly intervals. Participants will be followed-up until 90 days after the last vaccine.
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) for the management of patients with pancreatic tumors (including cysts) performed during recommended surveillance endoscopic ultrasound examinations. Pancreatic tumors (cysts) can progress to pancreatic cancer at rate of more than 25% per year risk. Pancreatic cancer is a fatal disease that is difficult to diagnose at an early stage, and the five-year survival rate is currently less than 10%. It is projected to be the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality by the year 2030. A procedure known as radiofrequency ablation may help. Radiofrequency ablation is an established way to treat benign and cancerous tumors in the human body. In the last 5 years, radiofrequency ablation has been applied to treat precancerous tumors (including cysts) in the pancreas. This procedure implements a medical technology that destroys tumors in a much less invasive way compared to traditional surgical removal. By delivering a high-frequency alternating current, radiofrequency ablation uses electrical energy and heat to destroy cancer cells. Radiofrequency ablation is being recognized as a management option in patients with high-risk pancreatic tumors (cysts) but are not deemed surgical candidates. While surgical removal offers a chance of cure, pancreatic surgeries have 20-40% morbidity rate (short and long-term complication) and a 1-2% mortality rate in patients who are surgical candidates. Furthermore, radiofrequency ablation can potentially decrease the need for frequent imaging/surveillance of the pancreatic tumor (cyst). In patients with immediate prohibitive, but reversible risks for surgery, radiofrequency ablation of a high-risk tumors (cysts) can potentially prevent further progression of the lesion and bridge the time before the need for surgical resection.
In this study, tumors of the pancreas are treated with a device placed around the abdomen that creates an electromagnetic field that generates heat in the tumor. Heating the tumor improves blood flow and the delivery of chemotherapy to the tumor as has been shown in numerous studies for various cancers with potential clinical benefits. Subjects will receive the thermal treatment on the same day and prior to receiving standard of care chemotherapy for a total of 4 treatments. This study is an early feasibility study that aims to demonstrate the safety and the performance of the device.
In our multicenter retrospective study, preoperative CA 19.9 levels predicts the presence of lymph node metastasis at final histology in patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma .
This is a nonrandomized, uncontrolled, open-label, multicenter Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of futibatinib in combination with PD-1 antibody-based SoC therapy in adult patients with solid tumors.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate a new drug, HTL0039732, that will be administered on its own (as a monotherapy) and in combination with atezolizumab or with other approved anti-cancer therapies, in participants with advanced solid tumours.
This multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial proposed the criteria for selecting patients with early-stage left-sided pancreatic cancer and aimed to compare the perioperative and oncological outcomes of patients within the criteria who underwent laparoscopic radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy versus laparoscopic distal pancreatosplenectomy.
