Filter by:In our multicenter retrospective study, preoperative CA 19.9 levels predicts the presence of lymph node metastasis at final histology in patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma .
This is a prospective, multi-centre, translational and observational study. Two cohorts of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are eligible to enroll 1) Upfront resectable PDAC 2) Advanced (unresectable PDAC or metastatic). Patients will have tissue either at resection or from a biopsy at enrolment processed for whole genome sequencing, RNA sequencing and for establishment of patient derived organoids (PDOs). Background epidemiological history and outcome data will be prospectively annotated. Serial blood and stool samples will be collected for exploratory analyses. All electronic medical record information will also be collected. Data will be used to determine if an integrated correlative analysis of whole genome sequencing/RNAsequencing (WGS/RNAseq) and PDOs in the enrolled population will increase the number of patients receiving a precision-matched treatment in Ontario
A Phase II Open-Label Study of Enfortumab Vedotin in Patients with Previously Treated Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (EPIC)
This investigator initiated study with a medical device aims to assess the safety and feasibility of percutaneous injected holmium-166 microsphere brachytherapy in patients with irresectable pancreatic cancer.
The goal of this stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial is to investigate whether implementation of a best practice program for preoperative optimisation (prehabilitation program) with a focus on screening, assessment, and intervention of 8 potentially (partly) modifiable risk factors in patients with (suspected) pancreatic cancer will improve outcome. The main questions it will aim to answer are: 1. Does a prehabilitation program improve the time to functional recovery after pancreatic surgery? 2. Does a prehabilitation program lead to a reduction in the Comprehensive Complication Index after pancreatic surgery?
ACUPOX is a multicenter, open label, 2-cohort based phase II clinical study evaluating the interest of a standardized protocol of verum acupuncture in treatment of Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gastro-intestinal solid tumors who discontinued oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy.
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy and toxicity of full-dose Gemcitabine and reduced-dose combination chemotherapy in patients with non-resectable pancreatic cancer, who are unfit for full-dose combination chemotherapy. The patients will be equally randomized to arm A or arm B: Arm A: Full-dose single agent treatment with Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 weekly on days 1, 8,and 15 every 4 weeks. Arm B: Reduced-dose (80%) combination-treatment with Gemcitabine plus Nab-Paclitaxel (Gemcitabine: 800 mg/m2 plus Nab-Paclitaxel: 100 mg/m2 on day 1, 8 and 15 every 4 weeks) Progression-free survival, overall survival and response rate will be estimated for each group, as well as toxicity and quality of life will be prospectively registered.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of IDE161.
The second generation of mesothelin targeted CAR-T cells that secret a fusion protein of IL21 and scfv against PD1 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-T cells for immunotherapy of human cancer patients with Mesothelin expressions. In this phase I study, the safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of the Mesothelin-CAR-T cell immunotherapy on human cancers will firstly be evaluated.
The aim of the study is to investigate if iv iron formulation improve recovery after surgery with blood loss. Post-operative anaemia is a common debilitating condition after major surgery due to a combination of preoperative iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and per-operative blood loss. Median blood loss following hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) and complex aortic surgery typically range between 500-1000 ml. Bioavailability of iron may be a rate limiting factor in erythropoiesis in anaemia secondary to blood loss. For the IRIS trial, it is hypothesized that intravenously (iv) administered Ferric Carboxymaltose after a per-operative blood loss of 400-4000 ml, improves post-operative recovery and reduces the RBC transfusion. Patients scheduled for elective HPB surgery or complex aortic surgery will be screened for eligibility and recruited into the study. By the end of the surgical procedure, if blood loss is estimated to 400-4000 ml, the patient is randomized 1:1 to iv 1000 mg Ferric Carboxymaltose or placebo. The primary endpoint is a composite of death, number of RBC transfusions, post-operative severe anemia (Hb <80 g/L) and FACT-An Quality of life (QoL) five weeks after surgery, assessed by win ratio. The trial will also examine effects on; a) levels of Hb; b) markers of erythropoiesis and iron bioavailability; c) post-operative complications; d) post-operative recovery; e) performance status; f) subgroups based on type of surgery and degree of anemia and iron deficiency; g) re-admissions; h) long term outcome based on patient medical records and i) how post-operative recovery differs between those with low (<400 ml), high (400-4000 ml) and very high (>4000 ml) per-operative blood loss. Recruitment will continue until 338 patients are randomized or 304 have completed the five week follow up The coordinating center of the trial is the Department of Surgery at Uppsala University Hospital. Participating sites are also Linköping University Hospital and Lund University Hospital, all in Sweden. Other sites may be added.
