Filter by:This protocol will confirm toxicities and estimate the clinical efficacy of combining anti-CD3 x anti-EGFR bispecific antibody (EGFRBi) armed activated T cells (EGFR BATs) given to patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who have received at least one dose of first line chemotherapy and may have responding, stable or progressive disease. Phase Ib will confirm a safe dose of 8 infusions, given twice weekly, of EGFR-BATs in 3 to 6 subjects. The phase II portion of the trial will test the clinical efficacy of this dose in 22 patients (including those in Phase Ib).
The study is being conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of (1) PEGPH20 in combination with CIS and GEM (PEGCISGEM), and (2) PEGPH20 in combination with CIS, GEM, and atezolizumab (PEGCISGEMATEZO) compared with (3) cisplatin and gemcitabine (CISGEM).
Observational study of the Clinical Practice in patients with Borderline resectable or resectable or advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of guadecitabine and how well it works when given together with durvalumab in treating patients with liver, pancreatic, bile duct, or gallbladder cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Guadecitabine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving guadecitabine and durvalumab may work better in treating patients with liver, pancreatic, bile duct, or gallbladder cancer.
This I/II study will evaluate to see how safe and useful irreversible electroporation (also called NanoKnife) is in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prevalent non cutaneous cancer in occidental countries. In Brazil incidence was about sixty thousand new cases in 2016 and occupied second place as all cancer mortality, just behind lung cancer. Literature shows than younger patients tend to have more aggressive tumors rising cancer specific mortality scores. Main risk factors are age, life style (sedentary, high meat and fat intake) and family history (gene inheritance). Besides vast advances in precocious tumors detection, challenges remain in the definition of the biological status of the tumor, which is highly variable and full of prognostic implications. PCa heterogeneity is demonstrated by the uncertain natural history, varying from indolent lesion to aggressive metastatic and fast progression cancer resistant to conventional therapies. In an actual treatment scenario, prognostic identification is the cornerstone of daily practice treatment considering the natural history variability cited before and the discrepancy of long term slow growth (studies estimate eight to sixteen years of tumor growth to achieve metastatic disease) to high grade aggressive cancer. Considering all this background and taking in account the indolent evolution of low risk PCa new therapies emerge with promising outcomes. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) have to be highlighted due to easy operation, good oncologic results and low complication profile. The method is based on real-time imaging guided high intensity ultrasound (US) causing overheat and cavitation in the focused tissue. Applied since 90's, mainly in German and French groups, initially programmed to treat hole gland preserving only urinary sphincter and bladder neck, showed recently some data on 1700 patients, 5 years biochemical recurrence free survival of 80% and best results including morbidity profile in low risk, low prostate volume and in the group with previous trans urethral prostate resection (TURP). This results are very similar to other radical treatment options with median follow up of 8 years, cancer specific survival 98% and metastasis free survival of 95% If local recurrence was identified another HIFU ablation or even radical treatment achieved good results in local control with acceptable morbidity profile. Focal treatment is a new entity in PCa therapy. One randomized trial compared focal treatment to active surveillance in 513 mans with PCa diagnosis. With a 24 month follow-up progression-free ratios (28% x 58%) and positive control prostate biopsy ratios (14% x 49%) were fairly superior in treatment group. This exiting novel data turns urological oncology paths to the new era of minimally harmful therapy with targeted focused procedure. At our knowledge there is no high evidence clinical trial comparing HIFU to active surveillance. The objective of this study is to evaluate prospectively the initial experience with 50 patients submitted to HIFU therapy for low risk prostate cancer in Brazilian single center considering the following aspects: One year of treatment prostate biopsy positiveness; Biochemical recurrence free survival using Phoenix and Stuttgart criteria in one year; Sexual function using IIEF-5 questionnaire and the usage of 5-phosphodiesterase inhibitors (5-PDI); Urinary symptoms using EPIC and IPSS questionnaires and free urinary flow; Quality of life based on SF-36 questionnaire evaluation; Post procedure morbidity using Clavien-Dindo classification.
A single center, open-label, single arm study in patients who have solid or micropapillary adenocarcinoma with pathologic stage I and primary tumor no more than 4 cm. Pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks
A randomized, multidisciplinary study, Phase II-III clinical trial.The study is opened to the incorporation of other centers that would increase the power of the obtained results . Our hypothesis considers that using Hyperthermic Intra-abdominal Chemotherapy,HIPEC, with gemcitabine after cytoreductive surgery ,will decrease tumor progression of pancreatic cancer by reducing the neoplastic volume and subpopulation of pancreatic cancer stem cells, improving the survival of patients with pancreatic cancer, and decreasing the recurrence of the disease
The proposed study is an open-label, two-arm study of entinostat plus nivolumab in patients with unresectable or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
The purpose of this study is to find out if combining durvalumab with standard stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is an effective treatment for people with locally advanced or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. The researchers will also look at the safety of the combination treatment and any side effects it causes.
