Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to classify patients that undergo pancreatic resection for presumed pancreatic or periampullary malignancy into high and low risk groups for postoperative complications based on longitudinal saliva, rectal/faecal, tumor, blood and/or bile microbiome profiles. To identify the dynamics of the microbiome, as well as the possibly related short-term and long-term complications, multiple samples at different timepoints are needed from the patients.
Numerous studies have shown that even when imaging does not reveal the presence of cancer cells, traces of tumor DNA (i.e. originating from cancer cells) can be detected in the blood of certain patients: this is called molecular residual disease (MRD). When such traces are detected (we speak of MRD+ status), the risk of relapse is much higher than when there is no circulating tumor DNA (MRD - status). Given the success of immunotherapy in treating patients with metastatic disease in a variety of tumor types, there is enormous enthusiasm for expanding the use of immunotherapy to people with cancer at an early stage. UMBRELLA is a biology-driven trial designed to study the impact of systemic treatment with tislelizumab monotherapy after detection of MRD+ status after completion of surgery and perioperative treatments in patients with cancer of a solid tumor. Residual disease (MRD) will be determined by optimized detection and precise monitoring of circulating tumor DNA, enabling early detection of recurrence and disease monitoring, including in patients without MRD [MRD(-)].
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety of the HistoSonics Edison System for the destruction of pancreatic adenocarcinomas using histotripsy.
In this study, LINFU® will be evaluated in patients who have been identified with IPMN to determine if it can be used to help identify early, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and its noninvasive precursor lesions (dysplasia). The study will also help determine if LINFU® results in earlier intervention, treatment and improvement in patient outcomes.
This research study is being conducted to improve the quality of care of participants who have a diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer (anal, colon, rectal, esophageal, stomach, small bowel, appendix, pancreas, gall bladder, liver, neuroendocrine tumor of gastrointestinal origin). This study has 3 components as follows- 1. Ensuring appropriate biomarker testing and evidence-based care: Biomarkers are molecules in the tumor or blood that indicate normal or abnormal processes in participant's body and may indicate an underlying condition or disease. Various molecules, such as DNA (genes), proteins, or hormones, can serve as biomarkers since they all indicate something about participant's health. Biomarker testing can also help choose participant's treatment. Additionally, a tumor board will be conducted periodically to provide treatment recommendations to participant's treating physician. Participants will receive standard-of-care treatment if participant enroll in this study. Participant will not receive any experimental treatment. 2. Assistance with clinical trial enrollment. The study team will help participants enroll in a clinical trial appropriate for participant's condition. However, enrolling in a clinical trial is totally up to the participant. 3. Health literacy: The study team will provide information relevant to participant's diagnosis to enrich participant's understanding of participant's condition and treatment. Investigator will provide questionnaires to assess participant's understanding before and after participant's have been provided with educational/informational material appropriate for participant's diagnosis.
This is a Phase II clinical trial assessing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of LTC004 in combination with MIL-97 ± chemotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. This experiment is divided into two parts: the dose increasing stage (stage 1) and the dose expanding stage (stage 2). For those enrolled in the planned expansion phase, the dose should have passed the safety assessment during the dose escalation phase.
The aim is to compare the surgical outcomes between upfront surgery and surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in terms of morbidity and mortality
The third generation of GPC3/mesothelin targeted CAR-γδT cells have been constructed and their anti-cancer function has been verified by multiple in vitro and in vivo studies. Clinical studies will be performed to test anti-cancer function of the CAR-γδT cells for immunotherapy of human cancer patients with GPC3 or Mesothelin expressions. In this phase I study, the safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of the GPC3/Mesothelin-CAR-γδT cell immunotherapy on human cancers will firstly be evaluated.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of immune cell therapy using autologous bone marrow-derived dendritic cells and immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have failed at least one standard anticancer treatment.
The purpose of this gene therapy research study is to test the safety and tolerability of using a new treatment called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells against the B7-H3 antigen (iC9.CAR.B7-H3 T cells) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that came back after receiving standard therapy for this cancer. The iC9.CAR.B7-H3 treatment is experimental and has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
