Methadone is an opioid that has been used for over 80 years to treat various types of pain, including cancer pain. Despite its increasing popularity as a co-analgesic and first-line treatment for cancer pain, there remain some outstanding questions regarding its use in treating cancer pain, such as its efficacy compared to other opioids and its appropriateness as a first-line treatment. The investigators will conduct a Vanguard Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) to estimate the efficacy of methadone compared to morphine for the treatment of a newly defined type of cancer pain, which the investigators have termed 'adenocarcinopathic' pain (ACPP).
Gastric Adenocarcinoma (GAC) accounting for the major percentage of all stomach malignancies is associated with a poor overall survival of 25-30% despite the advancement in treatment strategies. Several factors associated with tumor microenvironment (TME) are thought to play an important role in tumorigenesis and acquired chemoresistance to therapies that are not otherwise addressed by the comprehensive molecular classification of GAC given by TCGA and ACRG. In the present study investigators intend to do transcriptome profiling of GAC tumor tissue and adjacent normal tissue to investigate differentially expressed genes between the two in relation to TME which might help in identification of gene signatures that are clinically relevant with survival outcome in Gastric Adenocarcinoma.
This is a single-arm, open-label, clinical study to evaluate the safety of HER2 tumor vaccine injection alone/in combination with standard of care chemotherapy in patients with HER2/neu overexpressing gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, antitumor activity, The immunoreactivity, pharmacokinetics and of HER2 tumor vaccine.
This is a multicentre open labelled phase III adjuvant trial of disease-free survival in patients with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma randomized to allocation of oxaliplatin- or gemcitabine-based chemotherapy by standard clinical criteria (control arm) or by a transcriptomic treatment specific stratification signature or TSS (test arm).
This clinical program aims to evaluate the activity and efficacy of cetuximab continuation of treatment for three lines of therapy with rotation of chemotherapy (FOLFIRI, FOLFOX, irinotecan) in mCRC patients, whose tumors remain RAS/BRAF WT. The study will also evaluate the activity and efficacy of cetuximab re-introduction in combination with irinotecan as third line therapy in the concept of re-challenge for those patients that will be treated in second line with chemotherapy plus anti-angiogenic drugs (FOLFOX plus bevacizumab), having a RAS or BRAF mutant disease at the time of progression after FOLFIRI plus cetuximab first line treatment. A novel characteristic of this program is that the therapeutic algorithm will be defined at each treatment decision (first line, second line and third line) in a prospective fashion in each patient by liquid biopsy assessment of RAS/BRAF status.
This is a Phase 2, signal generating, open-label, 2-Arm, non-randomized study, in patients with metastatic HER2/neu over-expressing gastric cancer or gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas.
This phase II trial tests whether adding nivolumab to the usual treatment (encorafenib and cetuximab) works better than the usual treatment alone to shrink tumors in patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) and whose tumor has a mutation in a gene called BRAF. Encorafenib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It is used in patients whose cancer has a certain mutation (change) in the BRAF gene. It works by blocking the action of mutated BRAF that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps to stop or slow the spread of cancer cells. Cetuximab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called EGFR, which is found on some types of cancer cells. This may help keep cancer cells from growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving nivolumab in combination with encorafenib and cetuximab may be more effective than encorafenib and cetuximab alone at stopping tumor growth and spreading in patients with metastatic or unresectable BRAF-mutant colorectal cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease. The cause of pancreatic cancer is multifactorial. However, around 10% of cases are associated with hereditary predisposition. Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, CDKN2A, STK11, DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2), PALB2, FANCC, FANCG, and ATM have been associated with an increased risk for pancreatic cancer. The prevalence of these germline mutations varies across populations. For instance, the prevalence of BRCA1/2 germline mutations in high-risk populations can be up to 20%. On the other hand, in unselected patient population, the prevalence of BRCA1/2 germline mutations is 5-7%. In Mexican population, data on the prevalence of BRCA1/2 germline mutations in patients with pancreatic cancer are lacking. Identification of BRCA germline mutations in patients with pancreatic cancer has implications for treatment. Also, it allows genetic testing and counselling for family members. This study will determine the prevalence of germline mutations associated with hereditary pancreatic cancer using a comprehensive gene panel in an unselected cohort of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma in Mexico.
Peritoneal Carcinomatosis is the most frequent site of metastases observed in patients with gastric cancer. Current standard treatment for these patients is palliative systemic chemotherapy, but the prognosis is very poor. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) resulted in long-term benefits in selected patients with limited peritoneal involvement. Indeed, among patients with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis, a distinctive subset is oligometastatic disease which is characterized by low metastatic burden. PIPAC is a recent technique of intraperitoneal chemotherapy that can be used in combination with systemic chemotherapy with promising results for patients with PM from gastric cancer. The role of PIPAC in multimodal treatment path for oligometastatic gastric cancer should be investigated in clinical trials. PIPAC VER-One is a prospective, randomized, multicenter phase III clinical trial with two arms that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of PIPAC in combination with systemic chemotherapy in patients with Gastric Cancer and synchronous positive peritoneal cytology and/or limited peritoneal metastases (PCI ≤ 6). Patients will be randomized into two arms: arm A (control) treated with the current standard that is systemic chemotherapy only and Arm B (experimental) treated with a bidirectional scheme including PIPAC and systemic chemotherapy (1 PIPAC every 2 systemic chemotherapy cycles). Primary endpoint is the Secondary Resectability Rate. Secondary endpoints are: Overall Survival, Progression Free Survival, Disease Free Survival, histological response assessed both on primary tumor and peritoneal lesions, Quality of Life, complication rate (CTCAE v5), incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER).
