This study elucidates the effects of the intravenous (IV) lidocaine infusion on the biology of pancreatic circulating tumor cells (CTCs) isolated from patients undergoing robotic pancreatectomy for all types of pancreatic cancer. A prospective randomized controlled double blinded trial design will be used for the proposed study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of lonsurf, gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
This study is a randomized open-label phase 2b study of the efficacy and safety of regional infusion therapy with Anti-CEA CAR-T cells using the hepatic immunotherapy for metastases (HITM) method and the Trisalus pressure enabling drug delivery (PEDD) device alternating with systemic chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients with CEA-expressing pancreatic adenocarcinoma with liver metastases.
This study is to collect and validate regulatory-grade real-world data (RWD) in oncology using the novel, Master Observational Trial construct. This data can be then used in real-world evidence (RWE) generation. It will also create reusable infrastructure to allow creation or affiliation with many additional RWD/RWE efforts both prospective and retrospective in nature.
Randomized, double-blind, multicenter clinical trial that will evaluate the effects of immuno-nutrition in the preoperative period in patients with cancer of the upper digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, and pancreas). The aim is to compare the specific effect of the immunonutrients respect to an equivalent formula in caloric-protein value but without immunonutrients, in the surgical evolution of the cancer patient.
Pancreatic cancer remains a devastating disease with an average 5-year survival rate of about 3-5%. Previous retrospective studies showed that perioperative epidural block and/or dexamethasone are associated with improved outcome after cancer surgery. This randomized trial aims to investigate the effect of perioperative epidural block and/or dexamethasone on long-term survival in patients following pancreatic cancer surgery.
The aim of this study is to validate both retrospectively and prospectively a newly proposed scoring system for perineural and vascular invasion in pancreatic ductal cancer and correlate it with disease free survival, early recurrence, site of recurrence, overall survival and neoadjuvant treatment.
Due to its rarity a population screening program for pancreatic cancer is not possible. For this reason, considering background data on genetic predisposition and familiarity for this lethal tumor, efforts have been pushed to build up surveillance programs for subjects at high-risk of pancreatic cancer, due to familiarity and/or genetic predisposition. These programs are based on radiological examinations (such as MRI or endoultrasonography) and laboratory tests. However, little is known about the psychological burden of these programs. Only a handful of studies investigated, in various ways, how the participation in surveillance programs for pancreatic cancer may burden the psychological status, with a consequent possible impairment of the psychological wellbeing, and a higher risk of withdraw from the surveillance program itself. The aim of this study was to assess the psychological and emotional impact in high-risk individuals participating in a surveillance program for pancreatic cancer due to familiarity and/or to genetic predisposition, using specific psychological tools, such as multiple psychological questionnaires, investigating different functioning areas, administered by a clinical psychologist.
A prospective, multicenter, self-control clinical trial aim to enroll 110 patients suffered from upper abdominal (liver, pancreas, stomach, etc.) cancers . Patients who have taken at least one opioid drug for pain for two weeks and still have a VAS pain scale greater than 6 will receive endovascular denervation (EDN). They will be followed up for 3 months. The VAS scales, quantity of analgesics as represented by morphine equivalent and quality of life scores will be compared before and after EDN. Safety parameters such as arterial deformation, embolism, infection, liver and kidney functions will also be monitored.
