View clinical trials related to Pancreatic Neoplasms.
Filter by:Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the deadliest cancers. Patients with pancreatic cancer experience marked physical suffering, psychological distress and resource-demanding care at the end-of-life. Therefore, an urgent need exists to evaluate the early specialized palliative care model in a comparative study and across multiple care settings to define quality of life and survival benefits in patients with pancreatic cancer.
This is a prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled phase Ⅲ study.
This is an interventional, open-label, non-randomised, multicentre, single-arm phase II clinical trial. Eligible patients with hepatic oligometastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas will receive neoadjuvant combination chemotherapy (liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, 5-fluouracil, folinic acid (NAPOX)) in cycles of 14 days. Patients with tumour response or stable disease and a resectable primary tumour after the first 4 cycles will undergo explorative laparotomy and synchronous resection of the tumour and hepatic metastases, if feasible; these patients may receive 4 more cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy 2-4 weeks after the explorative laparotomy if the surgeon rated the primary tumour as non-resectable during the explorative laparotomy.
For patients who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that has not spread outside of the pancreas and nearby lymph nodes. The purpose of this research study is to understand if we are able to detect pancreatic cancer DNA in the blood stream before, during, and after treatment.
Irreversible electroporation is a local ablative technique used in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. In addition to its cytoreductive ability, IRE also induces a systemic immune response. However, this immune response is not potent enough to establish durable regression of the tumor. The immune response can be leveraged by combining IRE with immunotherapy. The primary aim of this study is to determine the safety of IRE + Nivolumab (arm B) and IRE + Nivolumab + CpG (arm C). The secondary aim is to assess efficacy of the experimental arms (B, C) and control arm A (Nivolumab monotherapy), based on overall and progression-free survival as well as locoregional and systemic immune modulation.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the feasibility and safety of using Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) before and after surgical removal of a tumor. PRRT treatment is based on the administration of a radioactive product, 177-Lu DOTA-0-Tyr3-Octreotate (Lutathera®) and its use before and after surgery is thought to increase the overall survival benefit for patients with SSTR-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors GEP-NETs.
This is a Phase I/Ib trial, single-center, non-randomized, open-label study of Protein-bound Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, And Gemcitabine (GCN) Combined with Tumor Treatment Fields (TTF) and G+TTF maintenance therapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
The aim of this nationwide, observational cohort study is to evaluate current surveillance strategies after primary resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in the Netherlands, with regard to the detection, treatment and survival of PDAC recurrence.
The aim of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of SBRT in LAPC with different biological effective dose (BED) (60-70Gy Vs.>70Gy ) , to identify a dose range that could achieve better survival benefit and minimize the toxicity of radiotherapy.
Cachexia has been recognized as a direct cause of reduced quality of life complicating in cancer patients. Patients with pancreatic cancer have the highest prevalence in developing severe degrees of cachexia. Providing supportive therapies for these patients may provide a lot of benefit on overarching quality of life and improve overall survival. MS-20 is indicated for treating the symptom of fatigue and loss of appetite induced by chemotherapy in cancer patients. According to the result from pre-clinical study, MS-20 may have potential to attenuate or suppress the resistant phenomena of chemotherapy via alternating gut microbiota profile. In this study, MS-20 effects on on gut microbiota and risk/severity of cachexia will be analyzed in pancreatic cancer patients who under combination therapy with chemotherapy and MS-20.
