Filter by:CTC-STOP is a multicentre prospective randomised controlled phase III trial for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients. This study will determine if serial CTC counts can be used as early markers of progression to direct early discontinuation of docetaxel chemotherapy in patients with mCRPC without adversely impacting overall survival, when compared with standard approaches to guide treatment switch decisions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of systematic sampling of lymph nodes vs. lymphadenectomy on outcome according to intraoperative frozen pathology for pulmonary invasive adenocarcinoma with ground-glass opacity (GGO) after VATS lobectomy.
To assess if percentage change in 18F-FLT PET/CT quantitative parameters (SUV max, or SUV peak or proliferative tumor volume) after 2 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy can predict overall survival at 1 and 2 years and progression free survival at 6 months and 1 year in patients with borderline resectable or locally advanced, pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the advantage of mesenteric approach during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The design of this study is multicenter randomized clinical trial, comparing oncological and surgical outcomes between mesenteric approach and conventional approach during PD for PDAC.
This phase II clinical trial will enroll patients with newly-diagnosed locally-advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma and adopt the Simon's two-stage optimum design. After 4 cycles of SIROX regimen, patients will proceed to curative resection.
ARTemIS-Eso is a phase I-II, three-level, open-label trial with a dose-expansion cohort at recommended schedule in both esophageal cancer histological groups (squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma) of RCT and ImT administered prior to surgery.
The goal of this pilot imaging study is to evaluate the visibility of marking the interface between the pancreas and duodenum with TraceIT Tissue Marker. Patients with a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of BR/LAPC (borderline resectable/locally advanced pancreatic cancer) pancreatic adenocarcinomas indicated for neo-adjuvant image-guided radiotherapy with SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy) will be enrolled. This study will thus set the stage for further investigations using the TraceIT Tissue Marker to avoid duodenum toxicity with imaging localization, enabling further dose intensification with SBRT or IMRT to improve the clinical outcomes in BR/LAPC.
Pancreatic cancer (PDAC) is the fourth highest cancer killer worldwide and is responsible for 6% of cancer deaths. Around 80% of patients are diagnosed at a late stage when cancer has spread and surgical removal is no longer possible. At present there are no treatments available which will shrink the tumour to enable surgical removal. A main factor in the lack of treatment options for patients is that pancreatic cancer is surrounded by a thick scar tissue called the stroma, which forms a barrier to prevent chemotherapy from entering and shrinking the tumour. Research carried out in laboratories has shown that a derivative of Vitamin A, All Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA), may have the ability to break down this stroma allowing chemotherapy to reach the cancer. STAR_PAC will test the combination of ATRA with two chemotherapy drugs; Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. There are two parts to the study; the first will test different doses of the drugs on around 24 patients to find the highest dose patients can take without too many side effects. The second part will test this dose on around 10 patients to find the dose that will produce the desired effect with limited side effects. Patients will take ATRA for up to 6 cycles and chemotherapy until their cancer worsens and will be followed up for 12 months. The study will also explore the ability of a type of scan, DW-MRI, to detect changes in the cancer (optional for patients). Patients can also opt to donate additional tumour samples (biopsies) and normal cell samples (cheek cells and hair samples). Eligible patients will be recruited through NHS Clinics and should have histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer according to RECIST criteria and must have received no prior treatment for this cancer.
This randomized trial studies how well panitumumab, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil after combination chemotherapy and panitumumab induction work in treating patients with RAS wild type colorectal cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin, 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. Giving panitumumab, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil after combination chemotherapy and panitumumab induction may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer.
This pilot phase IIa trial studies how well exemestane works in treating patients with complex atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium/endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia or low grade endometrial cancer. Exemestane may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
