Filter by:This is a phase 2 study (the second phase in testing a new drug or combination to see how effect the drug or combination is) of investigational drugs GSK2256098 and Trametinib. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the antitumor activity of GSK2256098 and Trametinib in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine hydrochloride followed by radiation therapy before surgery work in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery. Chemotherapy drugs, such as nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
After patients have been screened and have signed informed consent, they will be taken to the endoscopy suite. Once the decision has been made to proceed with Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA), the subject will be randomized to 1 of 4 groups: - 22 gauge (G) needle with suction - 25 G needle with suction - 22 G needle without suction - 25 G needle without suction Follow-up Phone Call Phase: Unit staff will call patients 1 week after the procedure to check if patients had any adverse events from the procedure and this will be recorded onto the dataset.
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have the potential to provide a surrogate for'real-time biopsy' of tumor biological activity. Enumeration and molecular characterization of CTCs in pancreatic cancer could play an important role in diagnosis, predicting the risk for tumor recurrence, and providing novel target therapy biomarkers.In view of these facts, We wanted to demonstrate the value of multiparameter flow cytometry in detecting human tumor cells of pancreatic cancer in normal peripheral blood after cryosurgery with or without dendritic cell(DC)-cytokine-induced killers(CIK) treatment, and we also compared the specificity with reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method.
This is a Phase 1b/2, multi-center study to assess the safety and efficacy of ibrutinib in combination with durvalumab (MEDI4736) in participants with relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and the efficacy of the combination of the drugs TH-302 and sunitinib in metastatic neuroendocrine tumours.
Eligible patients will have a diagnosis of both pancreatic adenocarcinoma and cachexia defined as greater than 5% unintentional weight loss within 6 months prior to screening visit. Patients must be greater than 18 years of age; and have greater than 3 months life expectancy. This study will observe a standard of care intervention (tube feeding) for potential benefit. Peptamen will be administered through a jejunal or a gastrojejunal feeding tube and dosing will be calculated using the Mifflin St. Jeor equation. It will be administered daily for the duration of the protocol.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of MM-141 plus nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine is more effective than nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine alone based on Progression Free Survival (PFS) in front-line metastatic pancreatic cancer patients with high serum levels of free IGF-1.
Nimotuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Clinical trials are ongoing globally to evaluate Nimotuzumab in different indications. Nimotuzumab has been approved to treat squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN), glioma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma in different countries.The clinical phase Ⅲ trial designed to assess overall survival（OS）of the combination of Nimotuzumab administered concurrently with Gemcitabine in patients with RAS wild type of locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of nab-paclitaxel when given together with capecitabine and radiation therapy following first treatment with chemotherapy (induction therapy) in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that is not spread to tissue far away but is not operable due to abutment or encasement of blood vessels nearby (locally advanced). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as nab-paclitaxel and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving nab-paclitaxel, capecitabine, and radiation therapy together may kill more tumor cells.
