Filter by:The outcome of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. NCCN guidelines recommend FOLFIRINOX or modified-FOLFIRINOX as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen, but the response rate is unacceptably low. PD-1 blockade has been developed to a new class of cancer immunotherapy that could restore an adequate immunosurveillance against the neoplasm and enhance T-cell-mediated anticancer immune responses. Manganese has been confirmed to activate antigen-presenting cells and function as mucosal immunoadjuvants in pre-clinical studies. This one-arm, phase I/II study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of Manganese primed combined therapy of anti-PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy.
To determine the optimal second line treatment strategy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who underwent a therapy with gemcitabine.
Aim of this phase III trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of dronabinol (orally administered tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)) as adjuvant therapy to first-line standard chemotherapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer for improvement of chemotherapy- and tumor-related symptoms applicated by individual titration up to the maximum tolerated dose.
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. Current guidelines recommend FOLFIRINOX or modified-FOLFIRINOX as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen. Studies have shown that immunotherapy with Anti-PD-1 antibody can effectively increase the response rate and prolong patient survival in a number of cancer diseases. Here investigators intend to compare the therapeutic effects of modified-FOLFIRINOX alone and the combination of modified-FOLFIRINOX and Anti-PD-1 antibody in patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
The study aims at establishing the profile of the immune reaction that occurs in the early surgical suites after pancreatectomy. Blood samples will be collected before surgery, (Day-1), at day0, and after surgery at Day 1, Day 3, Day 7 at 1 year after pancreatectomy. Mass cytometry, genomic and transcriptomic approaches will be used to evaluate the immune systemic modulation after surgery.

This is a research study to evaluate how the genetic makeup of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can affect the response to FDA-approved chemotherapy treatment, FOLFIRINOX, given before surgery to remove the tumor. Certain types of PDAC tumors can be surgically resected (removed). However, not all types of PDACs are resectable, especially if they are close to important structures like blood vessels or intestines. These types of PDACs are treated with chemotherapy such as FOLFIRINOX. Research studies showed that chemotherapy after surgical resection of PDAC tumors reduced the risk of the cancer returning. Chemotherapy is used to treat PDAC that has not spread outside of the pancreas and is not resectable. FOLFIRINOX is a chemotherapy treatment that combines multiple chemotherapeutic agents, including oxaliplatin, leucovorin, irinotecan, and 5-FU. Patients receive these agents by intravenous infusion. Of these drugs, 5-FU requires you to return home with a chemotherapy pump that will deliver chemotherapy over 46 hours. This regimen has been studied in pancreatic cancer that has been removed with surgery as a method for preventing the cancer from returning. Studies showed FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy reduced the risk of cancer returning and increased patients survival. In this study, researchers want to know if FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy given before surgery will make the cancer easier to remove with surgery and increase the chances of the cancer staying away after surgery. Researchers have shown that pancreatic cancers are not all the same when you look at the DNA and RNA that is inside a pancreatic cancer cell. Depending on the expression of different genes in a cancer cell, some pancreatic cancers may respond differently to chemotherapy. In this study researchers want to know if FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy can change the genetic profile of the cancer. This will be studied by obtaining a biopsy of the cancer before the start of chemotherapy, and after 8 treatments of chemotherapy. They will also study cancer cells that will be collected from blood samples.
Data of 100 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who received stereotactic radiotherapy or ct-guided radioactive 125I seed implantation in the multicenter of the research group from July 2019 to June 2021 were collected, as well as follow-up data.To evaluate the clinical efficacy of stereotactic radiotherapy and ct-guided 125I seed therapy with 3D printing template in pancreatic cancer;In addition, the local control rate and side effects of ct-guided radioactive 125I particles in the treatment of pancreatic cancer lesions were explored, and the efficacy and safety of different doses of stereotactic radiotherapy were determined.
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, and survival benefit of etoposide plus cisplatin and irinotecan plus cisplatin in first-line therapy of non-primary pancreatic metastatic and/or unresectable gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3 type. In addition, the investigators will explore the resistance mechanisms of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3, and screen out biomarkers that can predict the efficacy of chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness and long-term outcomes between patients with pancreatic carcinoma and biliary obstruction who are treated by stent insertion with or without high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation.
