Filter by:Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) comprise of a heterogeneous group of entities that are benign, premalignant or malignant. With increased use of modern imaging techniques in recent years, incidentally discovered PCL have become much more common. However, imaging modalities for characterising PCL is a known clinical uncertainty since imaging is capable of detecting these lesions but may often not be able to distinguish malignant from benign lesions. Incorrect assessment of PCL can lead to fatal consequences because a malignant lesion may not be treated and a benign may be unnecessarily resected. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in the diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions compared to cross-sectional imaging modalities (CT/MRI). Our hypothesis is that EUS-FNA has a higher accuracy for diagnosing PCLs compared with cross-sectional imaging.
Given the efficacy of nanoliposomal irinotecan as a second-line regimen in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), together with the favorable toxicity profile of paricalcitol and its interplay with irinotecan metabolism, the investigators propose a second-line pilot study in advanced PDAC that will enroll patients who have progressed on a gemcitabine-based regimen.
This study evaluates the application of 3D-printed template for iodine-125 seed implantation therapy in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Half of participants will receive 3D-printed coplanar template, while the other half will receive 3D-printed non-coplanar template.
This phase Ib trial determines if samples from a patient's cancer can be tested to find combinations of drugs that provide clinical benefit for the kind of cancer the patient has. This study is also being done to understand why cancer drugs can stop working and how different cancers in different people respond to different types of therapy.
An international, multicenter study to identify tumor molecular particularities and neoepitopes among participants with colorectal and pancreatic tumors undergoing surgery.
Gemcitabine plus S-1 (GS) prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and greatly improved objective response rate (ORR) as well as disease control rate (DCR) of Asian patients with locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer (PC). However, limited data of GS regimen exist on the efficacy and safety in the treatment of Chinese patients with advanced PC. To assess the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine plus S-1 (GS regimen) as the first-line chemotherapy in Chinese patients with advanced PC, we designed this prospective study.
Catheter directed retrograde venous infusion of gemcitabine/lipiodol into pancreatic tumors.
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare and include a heterogeneous group of neoplasms derived from the endocrine system found in the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and lung. Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) NETs represent the majority of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) and the annual incidence of all GEP-NETs has been estimated to 6.98 per 100,000 person-years in 2012 and is steadily rising. While data on the incidence of metastatic GEP-NET is limited, more than 50% of patients with GEP-NET have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. Incorrect and delayed diagnoses are still common. Treatment options include surgery, locoregional interventions, and systemic treatment. The Lyon Real world Evidence in Metastatic NeuroEndocrine Tumours study (LyREMeNET) is a descriptive observational cohort study. The main objective is to assess the healthcare resources use and the corresponding costs for management of patients with metastatic GEP and lung NETs. The secondary objective is to describe the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, treatment patterns, and the overall survival among patients with metastatic GEP and lung NETs.
This is a phase II, single-arm, open-label, clinical study to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of a combination of liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) with oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil (FOLFOX-nal-IRI) for treatment of patients with locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma (LAPC).
This is a study in participants with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) due to pancreatic cancer. This study will include resected participants who are post pancreatic cancer surgery, and an additional cohort in non-resected participants.
