Filter by:This is a single-centre, non-randomized, open label phase II trial to be conducted at the National Cancer Centre, Singapore (NCCS). Patients diagnosed with metastatic PDAC will be eligible to enrol. The investigators hypothesize the anticancer activity of low dose OXIRI (LD-OXIRI) regimen comprising of metronomic oxaliplatin (O) and metronomic capecitabine (xeloda; X) in combination with UGT1A1-directed dosing of irinotecan (IRI) to be a tolerable regimen in patients with advanced PDAC and will lead to a favourable response rate. Patients will be prospectively enrolled in two stages - In stage 1, patients will be recruited and evaluated for response and toxicity. In stage 2, more patients will be recruited for further evaluation of response and toxicity.
This is a prospective, multi-centre, translational and observational study. Two cohorts of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are eligible to enroll 1) Upfront resectable PDAC 2) Advanced (unresectable PDAC or metastatic). Patients will have tissue either at resection or from a biopsy at enrolment processed for whole genome sequencing, RNA sequencing and for establishment of patient derived organoids (PDOs). Background epidemiological history and outcome data will be prospectively annotated. Serial blood and stool samples will be collected for exploratory analyses. All electronic medical record information will also be collected. Data will be used to determine if an integrated correlative analysis of whole genome sequencing/RNAsequencing (WGS/RNAseq) and PDOs in the enrolled population will increase the number of patients receiving a precision-matched treatment in Ontario
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is estimated to become the second leading cause of cancer-related death by 2030. Effective management of PDAC is challenged by a combination of late diagnosis, lack of effective screening methods and high risk of early metastasis. Although systemic chemotherapy improves survival, 5-year survival is only 6%. Chemotherapy efficacy is attenuated by innate and acquired drug resistance of tumor cells, a strong desmoplastic reaction that limits local accessibility of drugs and a "cold" tumor microenvironment (TME) with high infiltrating levels of immunosuppressive cells. In PDAC, increased T cell exhaustion defined by increased PD-1/PD-L1 activity in both peripheral blood and tumor microenvironment, is associated with poor prognosis. Hence the rationale for targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis with the aim to release the "brake" and exert an anti-tumor response. In PDAC successful results with Immune Checkpoint Inhibition (ICI) monotherapy are limited and combination therapy with other agents is encouraged; specifically agents that induce dendritic cell priming. We hypothesize that combination therapy of ICI therapy with a toll like receptor 3 (TLR-3) agonist is a potential effective strategy. TLR-3 agonists are hypothesized to increase dendritic cell maturation and cross-priming naïve cytotoxic CD8 T cells while eliminating regulatory T-cell attraction, thereby acting as an immune-boosting agent. We propose that rintatolimod/durvalumab-combination therapy is feasible and may induce synergistic anti-tumor immune responses in PDAC.
Currently, there is no Brazilian or Latin American epidemiological data, such as clinical-pathological characteristics, standard treatments and outcomes of gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer in the region. The study aims to create a Latin American multicenter database to analyze epidemiological, clinical, and pathological data, treatments, outcomes, and biological information from patients with gastric and pancreatic cancer.
To find the recommended dose of TROP2- CAR-NK given intraperitoneally (directly into the abdominal cavity) to patients with highgrade serous ovarian cancer that has not responded to previous treatment or is resistant to treatment.
The main objective of this study was to observe and evaluate the safety and tolerability of mRNA-0217/S001 vaccine encoding personalized tumor neoantigens alone/in combination with Pembrolizumab injection for the treatment of Advanced Pancreatic Cancer. The secondary objective was to observe the preliminary efficacy of mRNA-0217/S001 personalized tumor vaccine in the treatment of advanced solid tumors with neoantigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte responses, objective tumor response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) caused by mRNA-0217/S001 personalized tumor vaccine.
A Phase II Open-Label Study of Enfortumab Vedotin in Patients with Previously Treated Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (EPIC)
This is a non-therapeutic exploratory observational precision oncology study designed to collect and analyze data that demonstrate the clinical efficacy and tolerability of personalized treatments based on molecular tumor profiling assessments (i.e., matched therapy) in adult pancreatic cancer patients. Patient medical records, obtained both retrospectively and prospectively, will be examined for results of molecular profiling obtained through standard of care testing to help understand how well molecular testing might predicts response to therapy. Patient demographic and outcome parameters to be evaluated include, but are not limited to, tumor response, time to treatment failure, patient survival, and toxicity.
Study to evaluate aspiration of duodenopancreatic juice after secretin stimulation (ADPJ-secr)versus endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for molecular analysis of intraductal papillary mucinous intraductal neoplasia.
This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of acupressure to the ear (auricular) to address appetite and weight in patients with stage II-IV gastric, esophageal, or pancreatic cancer. Cancer anorexia, the abnormal loss of appetite, directly leads to cancer-associated weight loss (cachexia) through malnourishment, reduced caloric intake, treatment side-effects, and other modifiable risk factors. Cachexia prolongs length of hospital stay for patients, negatively impacts treatment tolerance and adherence, and reduces overall patient quality of life. Auricular acupressure is a form of micro-acupuncture that exerts its effect by stimulating the central nervous system using adhesive taped pellets applied to specific locations on the external ear. The use of these pellets to deliver auricular acupressure has been shown to improve pain, fatigue, insomnia, nausea and vomiting, depression, and quality of life in both cancer and non-cancer settings. Auricular acupressure is a safe, inexpensive, and non-invasive approach to addressing cancer-related symptoms and treatment side-effects and may be effective at improving appetite and weight loss in stage II-IV gastric, esophageal, and pancreatic cancer patients.
