Filter by:A randomized multi-center phase II trial of nab-paclitaxel in combination with gemcitabine verus S1 with gemcitabine as first-Line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer
Standard treatment for newly diagnosed operable pancreatic cancer usually involves undergoing surgery first and then receiving chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy. However, the pancreatic cancer often comes back after this treatment. Therefore, the investigators are studying whether giving treatment prior to surgery can help decrease the risk the cancer returns. Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a highly focused type of radiation therapy commonly used in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. This treatment has been shown to be safe and effective for the preoperative treatment of pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine if combining an experimental drug, CCX872-B, with SBRT continues to be safe and whether the combination treatment may be more effective at boosting the participant's immune system's ability to kill the pancreatic cancer.
This is a randomized (1:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab or placebo plus chemotherapy as first-line (1L) therapy for locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.
This pilot phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well nivolumab and ipilimumab in combination with chemotherapy and radiation therapy work in treating patients with gastric cancer that can be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy uses thin beams of radiation of different strengths aimed at the tumor from many angles. This type of radiation therapy may reduce the damage to healthy tissue near the tumor. Giving nivolumab, ipilimumab, chemotherapy and radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with gastric cancer.
In this clinical trial, patients with gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma will be included. Treatment with curative intent will be given with chemotherapy for 4 cycles with fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan preoperatively followed by surgery, and then additionally 4 cycles of the same chemotherapy postoperatively. The standard treatment today is preoperative treatment with fluorouracil and oxaliplatin pre-and postoperatively. The rationale for this trial is, that the addition of irinotecan might improve treatments results.
the study evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS-RFA using Habib EUS-RFA catheter with a prospective randomised trial in patients with inoperable PDAC.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the combination of nivolumab and a CCR2/CCR5 dual antagonist (BMS-813160) with GVAX is safe in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) who have received chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and to see if this combination therapy enhances the infiltration of CD8+CD137+ cells in PDACs .
This trial screens patients with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) for genetic mutations for recommendation to a molecularly assigned therapy. Identifying gene mutations may help patients enroll onto target companion trials that target these mutations.
In 2007 and 2013, the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines applied the diagnostic criteria of sMPLC （synchronous multiple primary lung cancers）, and the diagnostic criteria of Martini and Melamed were extended and developed, Summarized as: (1) different histological types, different genetic characteristics, or different origin of carcinoma in situ; (2) the histological type is the same, the tumor is located in different lung or different lung lobes, the common lymphatic drainage site of lung cancer is not cancerous, and there is no extrapulmonary metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Postoperative staging of each tumor was carried out in sMPLC patients, if all of them were stage I lung adenocarcinoma, whether adjuvant therapy could fully refer to the treatment principle of stage I NSCLC was considered, whether the benefit of subsequent application of adjuvant chemotherapy was still unclear, and whether adjuvant therapy was needed or not has been determined. High-throughput sequencing, also known as "Next generation" sequencing (NGS), is characterized by sequencing of hundreds of thousands to millions of DNA molecules in parallel, and generally shorter reads.For multiple tumor lesions resected by sMPLC, only biopsy gene information from a single cancer focus may not be enough to identify all active driver gene mutations from the tumor. Therefore, NGS sequencing was proposed for all cancer lesions of sMPLC patients to reflect the full picture of gene mutation in such patients. The investigators initiated this prospective clinical study to detect lung cancer related genes in tumor tissues and patients with at least 2 tumors that were confirmed as invasive adenocarcinoma by pathology after sMPLC resection (residual non-resectable or non-qualitative pulmonary nodules). At the same time, application of NGS technology to test lung cancer related genes in patients' tumor tissues and blood, patients with lung cancer drive genes were followed up to explore whether different drive genes had an impact on patients' disease progression. In order to investigate the type of gene that causes disease recurrence in patients, tissue or blood test was performed again when disease recurrence occur.
This phase II trial studies how well a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan using fluciclovine F18 compared with a PET/CT scan with 68Ga-PSMA works in planning radiation treatments and enhancing outcomes in patients with prostate adenocarcinoma. Fluciclovine F18 and 68Ga-PSMA are types of tracers, called radiotracers, that are injected and can accumulate in tumor cells to develop images of them during a PET/CT scan. It is not yet known whether giving fluciclovine F18 or 68Ga-PSMA may work better in planning radiation treatments and enhancing outcomes in patients with prostate adenocarcinoma.
