Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ADH-1 when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin in treating patients with pancreatic or biliary tract cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and cannot be removed by surgery. ADH-1 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin, 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 ADH-1 together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin may kill more tumor cells.
To compare efficacy and safety of Gemcitabine versus S-1 adjuvant therapy after hemihepatectomy.
Biliary obstruction is importantly influencing quality of life and survival of patients suffering from primary or secondary bile duct malignancies. The aim of this retrospective data analysis is to evaluate endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with the HabibTM EndoHBP catheter for the treatment of malignant biliary obstruction. RFA procedures performed in Austria so far will be analyzed with regard to feasibility and safety of the technique. Therefore, the following parameters will be assessed: (among others) technical failures during the RFA procedure, complications during the RFA procedure, hospital stay, adverse events during hospital stay and until first clinical control after discharge (an expected average of 4 weeks after RFA procedure), 30-day and 90-day mortality. The results of this study should help to better understand important aspects of biliary RFA which may positively influence future applications of this method.
Pancreaticojejunostomy is the key procedure of pancreaticoduodenectomy. The aim of our study is to investigate a new pancreaticojejunal (PJ) anastomosis procedure named "nonstented stump-closed pancreaticojejunostomy" in pancreatoduodenectomy, which could provide a feasible option to pancreatic surgeons for patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy.
To decide maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose of treatment using gemcitabine plus S-1 combination therapy in patients with biliary tract cancer undergoing resection without major hepatectomy
The collection of data regarding patient outcomes after surgical intervention creates imperative knowledge to include surgeon performance, cost analysis, base for surgical research and publication, which in turn assist surgeons to improve the standard of care utilizing evidence-based practice.
Researching the diagnostic significance of Biliary Tract Neoplasm under combining DWI sequence with MRCP versus MRCP only separately.
Effect of Early management on PAin and DEpression in patients with PancreatoBiliary Cancer, EPADE-PB Purpose To determine whether early palliative care integrated with usual oncologic care with automated symptom monitoring can improve depression and pain in patients with cancer
This Phase II clinical trial is to study the effectiveness and safety of continuous hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of Oxaliplatin and Fluorouracil in Patients with Unresectable Biliary tract carcinomas, and to explore a better first-line treatment regimen for these patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the therapeutic activity of capecitabine alone or in combination with mitomycin C as second-line therapy in patients with advanced/metastatic biliary adenocarcinoma in progression after gemcitabine and platinum compounds
