There has been long-standing debate about nodal dissection in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), with most studies examining the value of nodal yields, number of metastatic nodes and spatial location of metastases being conducted in the upfront surgery setting. With increasing use of a chemotherapy-first approach even in early stage PDAC, the validity of nodal parameters in post-treatment PD has been brought into question due to therapy-induced lymph node (LN) shrinkage. However, the available information is based on retrospective data or administrative registries, which only considered the number of examined and metastatic nodes, without detailed information regarding the dissection protocol and the influence of nodal metastases location. Back in 2013, corresponding to the standard lymphadenectomy definition release by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) and the diffusion of multi-agent chemotherapy regimens, an institutional, station-based nodal dissection protocol was established for post-neoadjuvant PD. The aim was to investigate whether the pattern of metastatic spread within the nodal basin is a superior quality metric for prognosis relative to the count-based classification system.
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of the 3-drug chemotherapy combination of nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine, plus cisplatin versus the 2-drug chemotherapy combination of nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine for the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and a known genetic mutation in the BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene.
The overall objective of this study is to confirm that ctDNA detected after curative intended treatment for PDAC is a marker of residual disease and for risk-of-recurrence, and applicable in clinical practice. Primary objective To confirm that ctDNA analyses performed after PDAC treatment can identify patients with a high risk-of-recurrence. Specifically, we want to determine the association between disease-free survival (DFS) and ctDNA detection status after (1) curative-intended surgery and (2) adjuvant chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of cisplatin based regimen to patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and homologous recombination deficiency.
Pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma is a highly aggressive carcinoma that is associated with a poor prognosis. Detection of novel biological markers that are specifically over expressed in pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma and their subsequent targeting by anti cancer therapeutic modalities may improve patient's survival.
The goal of the IMPACT project is to set up a data sharing infrastructure between expert centers for pancreatic surgery that enables training, testing and validation of computer science tools to improve quality of care for patients with pancreatic cancer.
A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device for advanced pancreatic cancer
This is a prospective non-randomised Phase I/II Radiotherapy (RT) study with patients recruited to escalated dose cohorts. Patients with resectable or borderline resectable (per the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) criteria) pancreatic adenocarcinoma will receive dose-escalated hypofractionated DP-IMRT via Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) / Volume Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT).
This protocol will enroll patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma (Cohort 1), gastrointestinal/pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms with Ki-67 > 20% (Cohort 2) and neuroendocrine prostate carcinoma (Cohort 3)). Each cohort will have its own interim analysis after enrollment of 10 patients. Subjects will be given a one-month (28 day) supply of study drug (ESK981). Subjects will be instructed to take 4 capsules, with or without food, once per day for 5 consecutive calendar days, then take a drug holiday for 2 consecutive days before repeating the 5 days on-2 days off cycle in sets of 4 weeks or 28 calendar days. Subjects will be asked to keep a pill diary noting the date they take their study drug.
