Filter by:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a novel neoadjuvant treatment strategy incorporating 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin with oxaliplatin ( FOLFOX )chemotherapy in combination with chemo-radiation with gemcitabine.
This study has several purposes. DCE-MRI will be used to image the tumor. Safety of cetuximab given before surgery will be studied. Cetuximab delivery to the tumor will be studied. In Stage 2 of this study, the safety of cetuximab and PEGPH20 given before surgery will be studied. Also, the effects of PEGPH20 on tumors will be studied.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of Fully Covered biliary SEMS to Uncovered biliary SEMS in biliary drainage for the pre-operative management of biliary obstructive symptoms caused by pancreatic cancer in patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy.
A dose escalation, safety study of local (intra-arterially) delivered gemcitabine to the pancreas using the RenovoCath R120 catheter to determine the maximum tolerated dose.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the combination of Lanreotide Autogel 120 mg and Temozolomide in patients with progressive gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NET) graded as G1 or G2 (G1/G2). All progressive tumours classified according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST, 1.1).
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ceritinib and combination chemotherapy in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced) or pancreatic cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Ceritinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, and cisplatin, 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. Giving ceritinib and more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may be a better treatment for solid tumors or pancreatic cancer.
This is a Phase 1/2 trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of FG-3019 administered with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in the treatment of locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancer.
Phase I Multicenter, Open-label, Clinical and Pharmacokinetic Study of Lurbinectedin (PM01183) in Combination with Capecitabine in Patients with Unresectable Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC), Pancreatic Cancer (PC) or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (CRC) to determine the recommended dose (RD) of PM01183 in combination with capecitabine, to characterize the safety profile, to explore the feasibility of PM01183 dose optimization, to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK), to obtain preliminary information on the clinical antitumor activity of this combination and to conduct an exploratory pharmacogenomic (PGx) analysis.
Being able to accurately monitor patient bodily fluid levels during and after surgery is very important, as there are a number of complications that can arise if a patient's fluid levels become unbalanced, such as swelling within or pressure on various bodily organ systems. There are several different ways that physicians can monitor a patient's fluid balance during and after surgery, such as measuring the amount of urine output or the use of central venous catheters which measure the pressure in the veins entering the heart. Most of these techniques are invasive since they require tubes to be inserted into the body. A potential alternative would be to use a noninvasive technique such as electrical bioimpedance (BIA). Bioimpedance assessments work by using small electrical currents that can accurately predict both the water surrounding the outside of cells in the body, as well as the total amount of water in the entire body. Electrical bioimpedance assessments have been used to estimate patient swelling following surgery (edema), to measure the volume of blood the heart is pumping out, as well as to calculate body fat percentages. The goal of this study is to relate this technology to fluid shifts within the body that occur as a result of surgery, in particular, major intra-abdominal surgeries. By using bioimpedance during and after surgery, the investigators will compare the data collected with that calculated by using traditional measures of body fluid status, such as urine output and intraoperative blood loss. During the study, the bioimpedance monitors will not replace the standard bodily fluid monitors and will not interfere with their readings. Additionally, the electrical current produced by the bioimpedance monitors is too small for patients to feel and will not interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers.
This research study is evaluating a drug called isoquercetin to prevent venous thrombosis (blood clots), in participants who have pancreas, non small cell lung cancer or colorectal cancer.
