Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and recommended dose(s) of BMS-986340 as monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab or docetaxel in participants with advanced solid tumors. This study is a first-in-human (FIH) study of BMS-986340 in participants with advanced solid tumors.
This is an open-label, parallel group, non-randomized, multicenter phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of spartalizumab (cohorts 1 and 2) and tislelizumab (cohort 3) in monotherapy in patients with PD1-high-expressing tumors.
Guanabana, known also as Graviola or Annona muricata is a tropical fruit which has been commonly used as complimentary/alternative medicine in Latin American countries. The main compounds in Graviola are the annonaceous acetogenins. These acetogenins have been shown to be selective and toxic against various types of cancer cells in-vitro and in-vivo experimental animal models. In spite of this evidence of anti tumor activity of Graviola, no prospective clinical studies have been carried out to determine if it also has clinical activity.The Investigator have observed two patients at Auxilio Mutuo Cancer Center who experienced significant tumor shrinkage while taking a tea made of Graviola leaves. Neither of these patients were taking any other treatment for their cancer. The investigator propose to conduct a study using guanabana leaves extract in patients with Gastroesophageal junction(GEJ) adenocarcinoma, as well as in Gastric adenocarcinoma, Hepatocellular carcinoma, Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Low Grade Lymphomas and Colorectal adenocarcinoma.
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma still represents one of the "hot-topics" worldwide. Endoscopic ultrasonography was a breakthrough, bringing us closer to personalized treatment by getting histopathological samples through fine-needle-aspiration or fine-needle-biopsy. These samples can be analyzed and offer the possibility to detect a micro-RNA profile. Micro-RNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that interfere in genic expression. Many studies focused on seric microRNA profile, though there are many implications in tissue micro-RNA profile, thus overexpression or under expression of these molecules might help us not only understand different cellular processes, but also interfere in personalized medicine in the future. The investigators propose a prospective, multicenter, randomized, cohort study on 60 patients with solid pancreatic masses to evaluate tissue microRNA profile obtained by EUS-FNA. The primary hypothesis is to correlate the microRNA tissular expression in pancreatic adenocarcinoma with tumor aggressive behavior, survival and response to treatment. The samples will be obtained from the participants during endoscopic ultrasonography, through fine needle aspiration, after consent was given to be a part of the study prior to the intervention. The probe will be preserved in a special recipient that stabilizes RNA and inhibits RNA-lazes, thus preventing RNA degradation by endogenous ribonucleases. The analysis of miRNA profile will be made using qRT-PCR array method, by miScript II RT Kit, miScript SYBR Green PCR Kit și miScript miRNA PCR Array Human Cancer Pathway Finder (MIHS-102Z) (Qiagen, GmbH). Thus a kit containing a number of 84 miRNAs will be analysed in every participant.
Phase Ib clinical trial using Autologous Dendritic Cell Vaccine Loaded with Personalized Peptides (PEP) in order to stimulate/induce both innate and adaptive immunity by activating T-cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells, combined with standard of care (SOC) adjuvant chemotherapy, followed by nivolumab, an antibody against Programmed Cell Death 1 (PD-1), to maintain and boost the vaccine's effect in patients with non-metastatic resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma
This is a Phase I/Ib trial, single-center, non-randomized, open-label study of Protein-bound Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, And Gemcitabine (GCN) Combined with Tumor Treatment Fields (TTF) and G+TTF maintenance therapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This phase II trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab to olaparib (standard of care) works better than olaparib alone in treating patients with pancreatic cancer with germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). BRCA1 and BRCA2 are human genes that produce tumor suppressor proteins. These proteins help repair damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and, therefore, play a role in ensuring the stability of each cell's genetic material. When either of these genes is mutated, or altered, such that its protein product is not made or does not function correctly, DNA damage may not be repaired properly. As a result, cells are more likely to develop additional genetic alterations that can lead to some types of cancer, including pancreatic cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, a protein that helps repair damaged DNA. Blocking PARP may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. The addition of pembrolizumab to the usual treatment of olaparib may help to shrink tumors in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.
This phase II trial evaluates whether early switching from modified fluorouracil/irinotecan/leucovorin/oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX) chemotherapy regimen to a combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (GA) before surgery is effective in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that can be surgically removed (resectable or borderline resectable), or that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes and cannot be removed by surgery (locally-advanced unresectable). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel 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. The study will also evaluate the drug losartan in combination with mFOLFIRINOX or GA.
This is a single-arm, single-center feasibility trial of patients with borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma receiving chemotherapy with mFOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine / nab-paclitaxel followed by pancreatectomy.
The study is particularly innovative as it will accurately analyze the microscopic characteristics of the stroma, tumor budding and mucin expression in adenocarcinomas of the pancreas, using a comparative approach of long-survivor/short-survival patients.
