Filter by:The purpose of this study is to explore whether adjuvant chemotherapy regimens guided by organoid drug sensitivity test can improve the outcomes of pancreatic cancer. At the same time, this study will evaluate the successful establishment rate of organoid from fresh surgical specimens , and explore the concordance between drug sensitivity test results and patients' treatment response.
The purpose of this study is to explore whether chemotherapy regimens guided by organoid drug sensitivity test can improve the outcomes of advanced pancreatic cancer. At the same time, this study will evaluate the successful stablishment rate of organoid from biopsy tissue , and explore the concordance between drug sensitivity test results and patients' treatment response.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of high dose omeprazole and see what effects that it has on patients with exocrine pancreatic cancer.
The study is being conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of SHR-A1904 in patients with with advanced pancreatic cancer and to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of SHR-A1904
The PREOPANC-3 study is a randomized, multicenter, phase 3 trial. Patients with resectable pancreatic cancer will be randomly assigned (1:1) to 8 cycles of neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX followed by surgery and 4 cycles of adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX (arm 1) or to upfront surgery followed by 12 cycles of adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX (arm 2). The primary objective of the trial is to determine whether perioperative mFOLFIRINOX improves overall survival compared with adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.
Patients with digestive tract malignancy often experience severe and unremitting abdominal pain that negatively affects physical, emotional, and social function, as well as health related quality of life (HRQOL). Therapeutic virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising and evidence-based treatment modality for cancer pain. Users of VR wear a pair of goggles with a close-proximity screen in front of the eyes that creates a sensation of being transported into lifelike, three-dimensional worlds. To date, VR has been limited to short-term clinical trials for cancer pain. Moreover, limited research exists on theory-based VR modalities beyond mere distraction, such as VR that employs acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with components of biofeedback and mindfulness. To bridge these gaps, this study seeks to: (1) assess the impact of immersive VR on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including pain, activity metrics, and opioid use among patients with visceral pain from a digestive tract malignancy; (2) assess differences in PROs, activity metrics, and opioid use between skills-based VR therapy vs. distraction VR therapy; and (3) determine patient-level predictors of VR treatment response in visceral cancer pain. To address these aims, the study will measure PROs and opioid use in 360 patients randomized among 3 groups and follow them for 60 days after enrollment: (1) an enhanced VR group receiving skills-based VR; (2) a distraction-based VR group receiving patient-selected VR videos; and (3) a VR sham control group using a VR headset with 2-D content. The results will inform best practices for the implementation of VR for visceral cancer pain management and guide selection of patient-tailored experiences.
There is a high rate of R1 resection following patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer. The most commonly positive margin is the SMA. Peri-adventitial dissection has been proposed as an effective method of achieving R0 margins. There is lack of standardisation of the proposed technique and no grade 1 evidence to support routine use of this technique. The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to investigate the role of routine peri-adventitial dissection on the SMA margin status.
To evaluate the efficacy of Tislelizumab combined with Nab-paclitaxel and Gemcitabine in the treatment of recurrent pancreatic cancer
Nowadays pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest oncological pathologies. The only effective curative tool is the surgery. Before the intervention, an endoscopic ultrasound is performed on the patient to carry out the biopsy of the main tumor. In this study, the echoendoscopie will be extended to lymph node staging away from the surgical field in order to implement a simple classification of lymph nodes, based on non-invasive ultrasound criteria. This would facilitate the location and qualification of peripancreatic lymph nodes and distant from the tumor, and therefore the staging of the tumor.
Since patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer have a limited life expectancy, it is important to determine the timing of when to start chemotherapy in order to optimize the benefits of chemotherapy relative to the side effects. Therefore, two treatment strategies can be considered: chemotherapy started immediately at diagnosis, or delayed until disease-related symptoms occur.
