Filter by:The aim of this study is to continuously monitor blood glucose concentrations for a 7-day period in pancreatic cancer patients whilst undergoing their typical daily routines and to compare this to age matched healthy individuals. The investigators plan to carry out the study on a small subset of patients, up to 30 with pancreatic cancer (15 not undergoing chemotherapy and 15 undergoing chemotherapy) and 15 healthy individuals.
The gut microbiota (GM) can influence as effectiveness of immunotherapy as prognosis factor in cancer patients. The goal of the study to identify GM pattern is associated with poor and favourable treatment outcomes in breast cancer and pancreatic cancer patients for further treatment strategy proper planning.
This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antineoplastic activity of CT-707 in combination with toripalimab and gemcitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer
Organoid has emerged as the novel platform for preclinical anticancer drug testing in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). However, most organoid models are not reconstituted with a tumor microenvironment. This study aimed to simultaneously establish PDA organoids and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) samples.
This study will test the safety of a drug called SGN-BB228 in participants with melanoma and other solid tumors that are hard to treat or have spread through the body. It will also study the side effects of this drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating the disease. This study will have 3 parts. Parts A and B of the study will find out how much SGN-BB228 should be given to participants. Part C will use the information from Parts A and B to see if SGN-BB228 is safe and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers.
A randomized phase II study evaluating maintenance therapy after first line induction chemotherapy in metastatic cancer pancreas.
The current study aims to access the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of EUS-FNI for nonfunctional pNETs
This phase II ComboMATCH treatment trial evaluates the effectiveness of palbociclib and binimetinib in treating patients with RAS-mutated cancers. Palbociclib and binimetinib are both in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of abnormal proteins that signals cancer cells to multiply. This trial may help researchers understand if giving the combination of palbociclib and binimetinib can help improve the amount of time before the cancer grows in patients with patients with low grade serous ovarian cancer who have certain changes in the tumor DNA. This trial may also help researchers understand if giving the combination of palbociclib and binimetinib can help improve outcomes among patients with low grade serous ovarian cancer who have previously received a MEK inhibitor. For patients with other tumors, with the exception of lung cancer, colon cancer, melanoma and low grade serous ovarian cancers, this trial may help researchers understand if giving the combination of palbociclib and binimetinib can improve the clinical outcome of survival without progression in patients who have certain changes in their tumor's DNA.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fourth cause of cancer death in Western countries. More than 50% of the patients with PDAC has a local advanced or metastatic disease at the time of the diagnosis. There is a growing interest in the investigation of novel and alternative therapeutic strategies which could be used in synergy with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. These methods include echoendoscopic (EUS) guided locoregional ablation to reduce the tumoral mass. The most studied technique is the radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Another interesting technique involves the use of the laser source at a wavelength of 1064 nm. Among all the ablative methods, LA is the only one that allows the use of a thinner needle. These features make LA a suitable option for treating focal lesions in high-risk areas or in hard-to-reach locations. A previous study demonstrated the feasibility of this technique in pancreatic solid lesions. In order to perform a study aimed at the complete treatment of the lesion, it is necessary to identify the laser parameters which are specific to the size and location of the lesion. The present protocol presents a prospective interventional study aimed at the analysis and applicability of predictive mathematical models for the calculation of laser settings in the ablation of pancreatic lesion by means of a EUS-guided LA.
This study aims to evaluate the EUS-RFA in terms of efficacy for pain management and improvement in quality-of-life parameters for patients with advanced inoperable pancreatic cancer. The primary objectives of this study are to 1) evaluate the utility of EUS-RFA for pain control and improvement in quality-of-life parameters for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer; 2) to measure the reduction of analgesic medications' requirements in patients affected by inoperable pancreatic cancer.
