Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of abemaciclib alone and in combination with other drugs versus standard of care in participants with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
The purpose of this Phase 1b study is to assess the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Decitabine in combination with Gemcitabine among previously treated patients diagnosed with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma or sarcoma (soft tissue and bone).
The primary objective of the study will be to estimate the prevalence of germline mutations in patients who present consecutively within 12 weeks of a confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes of patients undergoing standard or extended lymphadenectomy in pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer
The tumor tissue of patients with pancreatic cancer will be submitted to next-generation sequencing (NGS) and these data will be evaluated with an oncology treatment decision support (TDS) software tool that is a medicinal product class 1 (CE-marked). This software will make evidence-based suggestions for drugs likely to be effective, ineffective, or toxic (FDA approved biomarkers). For patients fit for second-line therapy, the resulting recommendations will be judged by the tumor board.
This phase II trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
A Phase II, Multi-Center, Open-Label Study of Tremelimumab Monotherapy in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the fourth cause of death in the Western world. Surgery remains the only treatment offering an advantage in terms of overall survival (5-year survival range, 15-25%), but unfortunately only 10-20% of patients present resectable disease at the time of diagnosis. Since the approval of gemcitabine as a standard treatment for advanced pancreatic patients, no drug or combination of drugs has significantly improved the prognosis. Recently, as compared with gemcitabine, FOLFIRINOX was associated with a survival advantage (11.1 vs 6.8 months), but had increased toxicity. In some retrospective studies, modified FOLFIRINOX regimen (60/120 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin and irinotecan) has an improved safety profile in digestive malignancies. The purpose of this phase II multicenter study was to investigate the efficacy and safety in patients with pancreatic cancer who progressed in gemcitabine-based first line chemotherapy.
Nab-paclitaxel (interchangeable with ABRAXANE and ABI-007) is a unique protein formulation of a noncrystalline, amorphous form of paclitaxel in an insoluble particle state. Nab-paclitaxel was designed to improve the chemotherapeutic effects of paclitaxel by exploiting endogenous transport pathways to deliver higher doses of paclitaxel to the tumor and to reduce the solvent-related hypersensitivity and other toxicities associated with Taxol® (paclitaxel) injections, the solvent Cremophor EL, and ethanol vehicle. Nab-paclitaxel provides more rapid tissue distribution and increased tumor accumulation compared to cremophor-EL paclitaxel. Mechanistically, albumin receptor-mediated transport across the endothelium, binding to interstitial proteins, and macropinocytic or receptor-mediated uptake into tumor cells as well as sequestration of paclitaxel by cremophor-EL may contribute to the observed differences. Furthermore, nab-paclitaxel synergizes with gemcitabine in preclinical models. The Cremophor EL-free medium enables nab-paclitaxel to be given at a higher dose and in a shorter duration without the need for premedication to prevent solvent-related hypersensitivity reactions. As of March 2014, nab-paclitaxel is approved under the trade name of ABRAXANE in over 45 countries/regions, including the US, Canada, India, European Union/European Economic Area, South Korea, China, Australia, Bhutan, United Arab Emirates, Nepal, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, Sri Lanka, Argentina, Hong Kong, and Lebanon for the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer. ABRAXANE is also approved for the first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the US, Japan, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand, for treatment of advanced gastric cancer in Japan, and for first-line treatment of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas in the US, EU/EEA, Australia, New Zealand and Argentina.
Open-label, phase I, non-randomized, multicentric study of single-agent birabresib (MK-8628) (formerly known as OTX015) administered according to two distinct regimens to participants with selected advanced tumors. The study will be performed in two parts. Dose Escalation Part: This step is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in each of the two regimens, which will be evaluated in parallel. Participants will receive oral birabresib according to: Continuous Dosing Regimen: continuous, once daily for 21 consecutive days (21-day cycles). OR Days 1-7 Dosing Regimen: once daily on Days 1 to 7, repeated every 3 weeks (21-day cycles; 1 week ON/2 weeks OFF). Participants will be sequentially assigned to Continuous Dosing Regimen or Days 1-7 Dosing Regimen according to the next available place and receive birabresib at escalating doses levels (DL). Cohorts of 3 participants will be treated, and an additional 3 participants will be treated at the first indication of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). MTD assessment will be based on the tolerability observed during the first 21 days of treatment. Expansion Part: The efficacy of birabresib in each of the five indications (i.e., Bromodomain-Nuclear Protein in Testis [BRD-NUT] midline carcinoma, triple negative breast cancer [TNBC], non-small cell lung cancer [NSCLC] harboring a rearrangement Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase [ALK] gene/fusion protein or Kirsten Ras [KRAS] mutation, castrate-resistant prostate cancer, and pancreatic ductal carcinoma) will be assessed in terms of response (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 [RECIST v1.1] or Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 2 [PCWG2]) using a selected regimen.
