This study aims to asses the effect of warfarin on markers of AXL pathway in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
This is a phase II Randomized comparison clinical trial of activated CIK armed with anti-CD3-MUC1 bispecific antibody for advanced pancreatic cancer. And the aim of this research is to study the clinical efficacy and safety of activated CIK armed with anti-CD3-MUC1 bispecific antibody for pancreatic cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well epacadostat and pembrolizumab work in treating participants with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Epacadostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving epacadostat and pembrolizumab may work better in treating participants with pancreatic cancer.
This is a phase II multi-center study of nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine and cisplatin (NGC triple regimen) as preoperative therapy in potentially resectable pancreatic cancer patients. DISEASE STATE - Potentially operable or borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma as assessed by standard CT criteria and histologically confirmed. - Staging by pancreatic protocol, helical abdominal computed tomography (with contrast) or MRI (with contrast) required (endoscopic ultrasound is not required). - No evidence of metastatic disease. Lymphadenopathy (defined as nodes measuring >1 cm in short axis) outside the surgical basin (i.e., para-aortic, peri-caval, celiac axis, or distant nodes) is considered M1 (unless nodes are biopsied and are negative, then enrollment can be considered after review with the study PI). Potentially Resectable Pancreatic Cancer - No involvement of the celiac artery, common hepatic artery, and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and, if present, replaced right hepatic artery. - No involvement or <180° interface between tumor and vessel wall of the portal vein and/or superior mesenteric vein (SMV-PV) and patent portal vein/splenic vein confluence. - For tumors of the body and tail of the pancreas, involvement of the splenic artery and vein of any degree is considered resectable disease. Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer - Tumor-vessel interface ≥180° of vessel wall circumference, and/or reconstructible occlusion of the SMV-PV. - Tumor-vessel interface <180° of the circumference of the SMA. - Tumor-vessel interface <180° of the circumference of the celiac artery. - Reconstructible short-segment interface of any degree between tumor and hepatic artery.
This study is a single arm, phase II trial, of 45 patients with locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The efficacy of the novel drug and mitochondrial inhibitor, CPI-613, in conjunction with standard-of-care FOLFRINOX, as a first-line therapy will be evaluated. Pre-treatment, diagnostic biopsy tissue will be collected when available, and clinical data will be evaluated to determine if the combination results in improved overall survival compared to historical experience.
This study looks in to the rate of biliary stent dysfunction for plastic and metallic stents in patients who need biliary drainage due to a tumor in pancreas before possible pancreaticoduodenectomy. Complications related to the biliary decompression, and possible post-surgical complications in all patients are also recorded. This trial aims to confirm whether metallic biliary stents really are superior to plastic stents as some previous studies suggest. Specific patient groups are also evaluated individually to see, whether patients with ongoing cholangitis at the time of diagnosis or patients receiving neoadjuvant treatments have less stent dysfunction cases and complications with metallic stents than with plastic stents.
The goal of the present study is to test if in situations of borderline resectable patients a neoadjuvant treatment combining Gemzar-Abraxane and stereotactic radiosurgery could increase the median OS rates above 30 months that means at least 12 months more than the 18-20 months generally described.
This study aims to compare the efficacy of bilateral thoracoscopic splanchnicectomy (BTS) to conventional narcotic analgesia for control of abdominal pain in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma not amenable to surgical resection.
This is an observational, prospective and retrospective registry of patients with pancreatic cancer treated in Duke University Health System, which will examine patient and treatment effects on cancer outcomes.
