Filter by:Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most aggressive malignant neoplasms with poor outcomes. Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is the only curative treatment for PC. Minimally invasive surgery has been progressively developed, first with the advent of hybrid-laparoscopy and recently with the total laparoscopy surgeries, but a number of issues are currently being debated, including the superiority between total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (TLPD)and the open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). Studies comparing these two surgery techniques are merging and randomized controlled trials (RCT) are lacking but clearly required. Methods/design: TJDBPS07 is a multicenter prospective, randomized controlled, trial comparing TLPD and OPD in pancreatic cancers. A total of 200 patients with pancreatic cancer underwent PD will be randomly allocated to the TLPD group or OPD group with an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pattern. The trial's aim is to exploring the overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS) and quality of life. The duration of the entire trial is seven years including prearrangement, a presumably five-year follow-up and analyses. Discussion: Despite the fact there are several RCTs comparing minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) and Open approach or LPD versus OPD. This trial will be the first comparing TLPD and OPD in a large multicenter setting. TJDBPS01 trial is hypothesized to assess whether TLPD has superiority over OPD in recovery and other aspects.
This is a Phase 1, multiple dose, ascending dose escalation study to define a MTD/RD and regimen of XmAb23104, to describe safety and tolerability, to assess PK and immunogenicity, and to preliminarily assess anti-tumor activity of XmAb23104 monotherapy and combination therapy with ipilimumab in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors.
Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy remains one of the most challenging abdominal procedures. Safety and feasibility remain controversial when comparing minimally-invasive with open pancreaticoduodenectomy, especially for malignant tumors.The aim of this study was to compare minimally invasive and open pancreatoduodenectomy for short-term outcomes and long-term follow-up in a randomized trial.
This phase II trial studies how an additional anesthetic nerve block, called a quadratus lumborum block, works to reduce the need for opioids in patients after pancreatic surgery. Giving an additional regional anesthetic after surgery may hasten the weaning process, reduce the need for opioid medications upon discharge, and reduce the risk of opioid dependence.
This trial studies how well ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography works in detecting micrometer sized early stage pancreatic cancer in participants with pancreatic cancer. Ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography may help to accurately identify pancreatic cancer in resected pancreatic specimens.
This research study is evaluating a new type of pancreatic cancer vaccine called "Personalized Neoantigen Cancer Vaccine" as a possible treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer. The purpose of the clinical study is evaluating the safety, tolerability and partial efficacy of the personalized neoantigen cancer vaccine in the treatment of Chinese patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, so as to provide a new personalized therapeutic strategy for advanced pancreatic cancer patients. It is known that cancer patients have mutations (changes in genetic material) that are specific to an individual patient and tumor. These mutations can cause the tumor cells to produce proteins that appear very different from the body's own cells. It is possible that these proteins used in a vaccine may induce strong immune responses, which may help the participant's body fight any tumor cells that could cause the cancer to come back in the future. The study will examine the safety of the vaccine when given at several different time points and will examine the participant's blood cells for signs that the vaccine induced an immune response.
This trial studies nutritional preferences and product accessibility in oral nutritional supplements in participants with breast, colorectal, upper gastrointestinal, or prostate cancer. Learning what participants like and dislike about their current or past used nutritional supplements may help doctor know how to improve them.
This is an Expanded Access Program (EAP) available to patients who have advanced cancers, who have failed or progressed on standard of care systemic therapy and do not qualify for ongoing clinical trials.
A single arm, open-label pilot study is designed to determine the safety, efficacy and cytokinetics of CAR T cells in patients with malignant tumors with positive antigen targets. CAR T cells are genetically engineered to express single-chain variable fragment (scFv) targeting indication-specific antigens. The investigational CAR T cells and proposed indications are as follows: CAR-CD19 T cells for B cell leukaemia/lymphoma; CAR-BCMA T cells for myeloma; CAR-GPC3 T cell for hepatocellular carcinoma; CAR-CLD18 T cells for pancreatic carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well Walking for Recovery from Surgery works in improving quality of life in older adults with lung or gastrointestinal cancer and their family caregivers. A walking program, such as Walking for Recovery from Surgery may help support overall well-being as a caregiver, and may help improve family member or friend's recovery from surgery.
