Filter by:The purpose of this study is to clarify the diagnostic significance of AKR1B10 in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and to combine with CA19-9 to improve the diagnosis rate of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
This is a First-In-Human (FIH) study of [68Ga]-FF58 to characterize the imaging properties, safety, biodistribution and dosimetry properties of [68Ga]-FF58 in adults with relapsed or refractory (r/r) glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), breast cancer (BC) that has metastasized to the brain, gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) expected to overexpress alpha-v beta 3 (αvβ3) and alpha-v beta 5 (αvβ5) integrins.
The aim of this nationwide, observational cohort study is to evaluate current surveillance strategies after primary resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in the Netherlands, with regard to the detection, treatment and survival of PDAC recurrence.
The objective of this study is to assess the reproducibility of PAXG regimen as first-line/primary chemotherapy in daily clinical practice in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) borderline resectable, locally advanced or metastatic patients out of a large volume center.
The main purpose of this research study is to determine the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) of SX-682 in combination with nivolumab in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who have completed at least 16 weeks of first line chemotherapy treatment without evidence of disease progression.
Urine and blood samples are being collected from patients with and without diseases of the pancreas. These samples will be tested with the aim of developing an accurate way of diagnosing diseases of the pancreas using the results.
Aberrant miRNA production has been linked to a wide range of human cancers and shown to play important roles in their genesis and growth. These miRNA can be detected in the blood and tumors of patients with cancer. The investigators hypothesize that the detection of certain miRNAs present in the blood/serum of patients with pancreatic cancer may be important to the early diagnosis of the disease. Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that miRNA detection in PC patients will yield prognostic information and help predict the response to treatment.
Pancreatic cysts are found incidentally on 15-50% of CT and MRIs for all indications and their prevalence is increasing. Many of these cysts may be precursors to pancreatic cancer, and thus pose a substantial risk, however, the vast majority are benign. Increased detection of pancreatic cysts provides an opportunity to diagnose pancreatic malignancy at an early, curable stage yet also increases the potential to over-treat clinically insignificant lesions. This presents a clinical challenge to prevent unnecessary resection of indolent disease, with associated risks of infections, bleeding, diabetes, and costly disability. Unfortunately, there is little information on the epidemiology and natural history of pancreatic cysts to help guide management.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether robotic surgery has limitations in terms of patient age, tumor size, location, and vascular relationship when compared to open surgery for pancreatic cancer. Whether robotic surgery has advantages over intraoperative bleeding, operative time, postoperative complications (bleeding, infection, pancreatic fistula) and postoperative hospital stays compared to open surgery.And the differences in lymph nodes harvest and postoperative survival between two groups.
The clinical trial is a phase 1, single-arm trial that will evaluate the safety of the investigational treatment on metastatic cancer in patients who have a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 genetic alteration. The investigational treatment will involve 2 cycles of a combination of intravenous melphalan, BCNU, low-dose I.V. ethanol, vitamin B12b, and vitamin C in association with autologous hematopoietic stem cell infusion. A dose-escalation schedule will be employed for vitamin C.
