Filter by:This study is an open-label, single arm phase 1b safety study of CAR2 Anti-CEA CAR-T cell hepatic arterial infusions for pancreatic carcinoma patients with carcinoembryonic antigen positive (CEA+) liver metastases resistant to standard therapy who meet all other eligibility criteria.
This phase II trial studies how well ultrasound-guided verteporfin photodynamic therapy works for the treatment of patients with solid pancreatic tumors that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Photodynamic therapy is a type of laser device that is guided by ultrasound imaging and used in combination with the drug verteporfin that may be less invasive and as effective as current treatment methods for patients with pancreatic cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of M6620 and irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). M6620 and irinotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This study is being done to determine whether it is possible to use an investigational vaccine that consists of dendritic cells in patients with pancreas cancer. Dendritic cells are immune cells that are obtained from your blood that are important in the body's immune response to foreign substances. The vaccine would be injected directly into a tumor that has spread to the liver after a short course of radiation therapy has been given to that tumor. The study will try to determine if this treatment would be safe and effective in treating this cancer. This is a phase 1 pilot study of this treatment. Phase 1 trials test the best way to give a treatment where little is known about its possible risks or benefits. Phase 2 studies then test the possible benefits of a treatment and may show the specific situations where they are seen. Promising treatments are then tested in Phase 3 trials which compare the new treatment to standard treatment in a larger group of patients. Phase 4 trials are those conducted on a treatment after it has been approved for general use outside of research. A pilot study tests a treatment in a small number of patients to learn if and how the treatment could be tested in a larger group. Pilot studies can be performed at any phase but are commonly performed in the earliest phases of research on a treatment.
This is a phase I clinical trial examining the safety, feasibility, and toxicity of gemcitabine and erlotinib when given in combination with capecitabine in adult patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Treatment will be administered at Moffitt on an outpatient basis and consists gemcitabine once per week for 3 weeks, followed by a week off treatment. Erlotinib (tablet) taken by mouth continuously starting with day one of cycle 1 with capecitabine taken twice per day on days 1-14 of each cycle followed by a 2 week off treatment rest period. An accelerated dose-escalation scheme will be employed with 4 planned dose levels. Whenever patients have been enrolled at a given dose with at most 1 DLT, the protocol will be stopped and the dose will be called the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Patients will be treated at the recommended phase II dose (RPTD) to confirm tolerability at that dose. In the absence of treatment delays due to adverse events, treatment may continue for 6 cycles or until disease progression and patients may continue on the study regimen unless they experience an adverse event that meets the criteria for a dose limiting toxicity.
The purpose of this study is to find out what activity the combination of docetaxel and Iressa have against metastatic pancreatic cancer.
