Filter by:Catheter directed retrograde venous infusion of gemcitabine/lipiodol into pancreatic tumors.
This is a single arm, phase II study without blinding. The purpose is to determine the impact of hepatic artery infusion Floxuridine (FUDR) on liver metastases from pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Patients at Spectrum Health will receive standard of care chemotherapy. They will also receive chemotherapy via surgically placed hepatic artery infusion (HAI) pump.
This is a phase 2, single-centre, randomized, multi-cohort trial of subjects with advanced Mismatch Repair Proficient Colorectal Cancer (MMRp-CRC), Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (PA), and Leiomyosarcoma (LMS). Subjects will be stratified based on their primary malignancy and enrolled into one of the following cohorts: - Cohort A: olaparib and durvalumab. - Cohort B: cediranib and durvalumab. Subjects will receive durvalumab through an intravenous line every 4 weeks. If subjects are assigned to the olaparib group, then they will take this pill twice a day continuously. If subjects are assigned to the cediranib group, then they will take this pill once a day for 5 consecutive days, and then have 2 consecutive days off, every week. Subjects will be enrolled in this trial to evaluate the changes in genomic and immune biomarkers in tumor, peripheral blood and stool samples, in addition to changes in radiomic profiles. About 90 people (45 subjects in each cohort) will be enrolled into this study at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
There are several types of early pre-cancerous lesions found in the pancreas which have the potential to develop into pancreatic cancer. Although different patients' pancreatic cancers or pre-cancerous pancreatic lesions have many similarities we believe that subtle differences can affect how they behave and therefore influence individual patient outcomes. Many factors may account for the differences seen in pancreatic lesion behaviour, for example molecular and genetic differences (the DNA and RNA present which control how a cell grows and divides), differences in how the immune system responds to the lesion, differences in the environment immediately around the lesion in the pancreas, known as the tumour microenvironment and differences in the micro-organisms which colonize a particular patient, known as their microbiota . This project studies the molecular makeup of pancreatic lesions and their microenvironment at various stages (from pre-cancerous lesions all the way through to more advanced disease) to see if we can use this information to divide patients into different groups whose lesions may behave in similar ways. We will be trying to find out if there are molecular reasons why some patients respond to particular treatments when others do not, why some patients experience more toxicity with particular treatments and why some patients' disease behaves particularly aggressively when other patients' disease does not. We will also be investigating the particular micro-organisms colonizing individual patients to see if these impact a patient's outcome. Understanding what makes one person's pancreatic lesion behave differently to another's could lead to better treatment, where a personalized therapeutic strategy could be applied for every single patient.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of anetumab ravtansine when given together with nivolumab, ipilimumab and gemcitabine hydrochloride in treating patients with mesothelin positive pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Anetumab ravtansine is a monoclonal antibody, called anetumab ravtansine, linked to a chemotherapy drug called DM4. Anetumab attaches to mesothelin positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers DM4 to kill them. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, 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 anetumab ravtansine together with nivolumab, ipilimumab, and gemcitabine hydrochloride may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer.
This study evaluates the possibility of performing local therapy for PDAC using laser ablation of the tumor under ultrasonography (EUS) guidance. Safety of the procedure as well as post procedural quality of life will be also evaluated.
RACING (RAmucirumab Combined wIth standard Nab-paclitaxel and Gemcitabine as first-line chemotherapy in patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma) trial is a Greek, investigator-initiated, single-arm, open-label phase Ib-II study. Patients with advanced cytologically or histologically proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma will be treated with a combination of Ramucirumab with Nab-paclitaxel and Gemcitabine (for a maximum of 8 cycles followed by Ramucirumab maintenance) until disease progression or excessive Adverse Events (AEs) or Investigator's decision or patient's refusal of further treatment or death, whichever comes first.
This study is a first in human Phase 1 study that involves patients with a type of cancer called HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) positive cancer. This study asks patients to volunteer to take part in a research study investigating the safety and efficacy of using special immune cells called HER2 chimeric antigen receptor specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (HER2 specific CAR T cells), in combination with intra-tumor injection of CAdVEC, an oncolytic adenovirus that is designed to help the immune system including HER2 specific CAR T cell react to the tumor. The study is looking at combining these two treatments together, because we think that the combination of treatments will work better than each treatment alone. We also hope to learn the best dose level of the treatments and whether or not it is safe to use them together. In this study, CAdVEC will be injected into participants tumor at one tumor site which is most easiest to reach. Once it infects the cancer cells, activation of the immune response will occur so it can attack and kill cancer cells. (This approach may have limited effects on the other tumor sites that have not received the oncolytic virus injection, so, patients will also receive specific T cells following the intratumor CAdVEC injection.) These T cells are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill cells infected with viruses and tumor cells. Investigators want to see if these cells can survive in the blood and affect the tumor. Both CAdVEC and HER2-specific autologous CAR T are investigational products. They are not approved by the FDA.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well pembrolizumab in combination with pelareorep work in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A virus, called reovirus (pelareorep), which has been changed in a certain way, may be able to kill tumor cells without damaging normal cells. Giving pembrolizumab in combination with pelareorep may work better in treating patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
This is a first-in-human, open-label, non-randomized, three-part phase 1 trial of INBRX-109, which is a recombinant humanized tetravalent antibody targeting the human death receptor 5 (DR5).
