Filter by:Microbiome in patients affected by pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma may present specific and identifiable patterns. These variations could affect the surgical outcome and increase the risk of life-threatening infections supported by multidrug-resistant bacteria. The identification of microbial signatures with tumor specificity may have a potential role in postoperative risk stratification. Variation of pancreatic, intestinal or bile microbiome and their relationship can be investigated and measured as promising tools in order to predict and overcome the clinical and infectious burden imposed by MDR infections. The prospect of a potential role for probiotics to promote competition against the pathogens and to improve the gastrointestinal barrier integrity has also been raised. Moreover, if the bacterial composition in human PDAC was confirmed to be distinct from that of the normal pancreas, microbiome variation could be used as a potential biomarker, to assess the potential for malignancy in precursor neoplastic lesions. However, we believe that a preliminary and explorative study is necessary. The study aims to outline the pancreatic microbiome of patients who undergo upfront PD for resectable PDAC and to characterize the possible association between bacterial composition and the occurrence of post-operative complications, particularly POPF and IC.
The aim of this study is to investigate if the systematic implementation of pre-emptive geno- and phenotyping, and therefore a dose reduction based on the French guidelines and the literature during the first month of treatment, reduces grade 3 or greater toxicity in patients treated with 5-FU (5-fluorouracil) or capecitabine. Therefore, a monocentric, partial prospective and partial retrospective trail was designed.
Pancreatic cancer is a rapidly developing cancer with a poor prognosis. The mFOLFIRINOX protocol has become the standard medical treatment for this pathology. However, mFOLFIRINOX is the cause of severe toxicities including leukoneutropenia, thrombocytopenia, diarrhea, nausea-vomiting, anorexia, asthenia, weight loss and peripheral sensory neuropathy. Therefore, its indication is limited to patients in good general condition. In practice, it is often interrupted upon the occurrence of hematological and/or clinical grade 3-4 toxicities, Remote patient tele-monitoring of symptoms (Patient Reported Outcomes), body weight, circadian rhythms, sleep and activity would allow the identification of early warning signals reflecting deterioration or improvement in the health of these fragile patients, and trigger proactive interventions, while they are outside the hospital. Thus, the MultiDom study proposes a comprehensive tele-monitoring and telecare strategy that would complement standard of care over a 7-weeks period to 42 consenting patients. The patients receive neoadjuvant or first line chemotherapy with mFOLFIRINOX for advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer at one of four centres in Ile-de-France region (France).
To determine recommended phase 2 dose and to evaluate the safety of vactosertib in combination with nal-IRI/FL in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who have failed first-line gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel
A multi-center, open-label phase I/II study to to determine the safety and tolerability of Azacitidine and/or Romidepsin in combination with nab-Paclitaxel/Gemcitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) (Part 1), followed by sequential immune targeting with programmed death-ligand (PD-L)1 blockade in combination with low-dose Lenalidomide (Part 2) in patients with controlled disease after 3 cycles (Part 1).
This study evaluated the feasibility and reliability of PDAC molecular subtyping on tissue core biopsies samples acquired under EUS guidance. Moreover, this study will assess the impact of molecular subtypes assessed on EUS-FNB samples in patients with resectable and unresectable (locally advanced, advanced, and metastatic) PDAC undergoing chemotherapy on treatment response and survival and the utility in monitoring disease response to therapy and early occurrence of disease relapse using the TaqMan RNA assay in serum
This is a non-randomized, multicenter, non-interventional study in patients with resectable PDAC. The patients are allocated to two observation groups according preoperative presence of ctDNA (Group A) or absence of detectable ctDNA (Group B) as determined in a liquid biopsy. After successful surgery of their pancreatic tumor and completion of local histological evaluation, tissue samples will be analyzed with regard to their mutational status with. Within 14 days before start of adjuvant tumor therapy another liquid biopsy will be taken to reassess the level of ctDNA after surgery. Patients will be monitored for disease recurrence according to harmonized, institutional standards using clinical, laboratory and (cross-sectional) imaging modalities. Accordingly, patients will be assessed every three months in the first eighteen months after surgery and every six months thereafter or based on clinical need for 36 months after the date of surgery Follow up will be documented until occurrence of relapse (or death if death occurs earlier than relapse/progression) for a maximum of 36 months after the date of surgery.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of L-DOS47 in combination with doxorubicin, as well as preliminary anti-tumor activity in patients with previously treated advanced pancreatic cancer.
Study investigators will examine the absorption characteristics of apixaban, a direct-acting oral anticoagulation, in patients who have underwent a particular kind of surgery (pancreaticoduodenectomy) which involves resection of the duodenum.
Purpose: To determine the feasibility and safety of combining digoxin as a modulator of the hypoxia pathway in combination with FOLinic acid, 5-Fluorouracil, IRINotecan and OXaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.
