Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of tislelizumab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) in combination with SX-682 (a CXCR1/2 inhibitor) in subjects with newly diagnosed and surgically resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of standard chemotherapy with or without a novel High Intensity Focused Ultrasound system (Code: Suizenji) in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer who are refractory or intolerant to first-line chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to enable non-invasive early detection of pancreatic cancer in high-risk populations through the establishment of a machine learning model using plasma cell-free DNA fragmentomics. Plasma cell-free DNA from early stage pancreatic cancer patients and healthy individuals will be subjected to whole-genome sequencing. Features, such as cell-free DNA fragmentation, copy number variations and the status of KRAS gene mutation, will be assessed to generate this model.
Especially since the Second World War the indigenous population in the Arctic, the Inuit have gone through a Westernization, which has improved the health conditions but also changed the disease panorama with an increasing incidence of cancer. This is exemplified by a decrease in physical activity, due to the depletion of the Greenlandic hunting traditions, tobacco smoking and unhealthy diet. At the beginning of the westernization, malignant diseases were highly uncommon, but they started to increase due to the increasing life expectancy and changes in lifestyle. The incidence of pancreatic and periampullary cancer has been reported to be the same among Inuit in Canada, Denmark, and the United States but with a higher incidence than among the Caucasian population in the three countries. The aim with this study was to investigate the results of pancreatic surgery for pancreatic and periampullary tumors in Inuit patients in Greenland at to compare the outcome of surgery and the overall survival with a cohort of Danish patients.
A prospective single-centre pilot study investigating the feasibility and safety of EUS-guided choledochostomy as primary drainage strategy in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction using a FCSEMS through LAMS to reduce stent dysfunction.
Recurrence of Pancreatic Cancer(PCa) is a multifactorial event. Based on the clinicopathological characteristics and imaging data of patients with PCa, the investigators used image processing and machine learning algorithms to build a more comprehensive and robust model, and added some unused features to explore its clinical application value. A retrospective analysis of patients with PCa who underwent radical resection at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital (Hangzhou, China) from January 2013 to December 2020. The database was extracted from the preoperative demographics, blood markers, and surgical pathology information of patients undergoing radical PCa surgery in the investigators' hospital. The investigators used the PyRadiomics platform to extract image features.
Pancreatic cancer is a very aggressive disease and its prognosis is poor. Large proportion of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer is already in metastatic or locally advanced phases. Although there have been huge improvements in survival for many other cancers over the last few decades, the same isn't true for pancreatic cancer. Median 5-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is around 10% and there are limited number of treatments approved for pancreatic cancer. There is no definite consensus on the best second-line chemotherapy for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have progressed after first-line chemotherapy. The randomized phase III study, NAPOLI-1 trial has revealed that liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) plus fluorouracil/leucovorin (FL) regimen could be an acceptable treatment option in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who had been previously treated with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. In this study, The investigators will evaluate how the treatment landscape has been changed since the appearance of nal-IRI in Korea. By retrospectively comparing treatment efficacy and safety outcomes before (cohort 1; without nal-IRI/FL) and after the launch of nal-IRI (cohort 2; with nal-IRI/FL), investigators will identify the degree of improvement in treatment outcome brought about by nal-IRI and will confirm whether the nal-IRI could be applied as an effective treatment option in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who failed first-line chemotherapy.
This is a phase Ib/II clinical study that has two phases. In phase Ib, the safety evaluation of the extract of Petiveria alliacea (Esperanza) will be carried out in patients with metastatic gastrointestinal tumors (colon, pancreas, stomach, and biliary tract) and patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed acute leukemia. In phase IIb, the safety will continue to be evaluated, and the efficacy of the Esperanza extract will be explored in combination with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic gastrointestinal tumors (colon, pancreas, stomach, and biliary tract) with newly diagnosed acute leukemias and relapses.
The objective of study IOA-289-102 is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of IOA-289 in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer in combination with standard chemotherapy consisting of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Blood and tumour samples for PK and PD will be collected and assessments for determination of any clinical efficacy will be completed.
Ablative dose magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided hypofractionated radiation therapy delivered using daily adaptive dose planning has shown to improve overall survival, relative to patients receiving lower radiation doses, in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer, without increasing the rate of serious gastrointestinal toxicity. The next step is to determine how these results compare to chemotherapy alone. This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial (2:1) comparing induction chemotherapy followed by ablative Stereotactic MR-guided on-table Adaptive Radiation Therapy (SMART) versus chemotherapy alone in locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients. Overall survival outcomes at 2-years will be evaluated.
