Surgical resection is the only potentially curative treatment for patients with pancreatic cancer with the aim of curative R0 resection and related improvement of survival. As a standard, surgery is usually followed by adjuvant therapy that improves survival but neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is a rapidly emerging concept that needs to be explored and validated in terms of therapeutic options in borderline resectable pancreatic tumors. In this setting, preoperative FFX seems to be feasible and can be prolonged by radiation therapy. However, the exact and best therapeutic sequence is not yet known and the additional role of adding isotoxic high-dose stereotactic body radiotherapy (iHD-SBRT) to chemotherapy requires validation in randomised trials. We propose to evaluate the impact and efficacy of adding iHD-SBRT to preoperative neoadjuvant mFFX or Gem-NabP in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Patients with a diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions evidenced by imaging studies (CT, MRI) and who undergo endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy will be selected. Biopsies will be taken using modified tip needles (FNB) three different methods (capillary by suction, capillary without suction and wet suction). From the results obtained from the pathology service, 3 variables will be assessed; Cellularity, blood contamination and suitability for a diagnosis.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, single-arm phase Ⅱ study aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of above-mentioned combination strategy in first-line therapy-failed advanced pancreatic cancer. Totally 53 patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer are to be enrolled and receive anlotinib plus toripalimab and nab-paclitaxel.
The OSPREY Patient Registry has been developed to collect and assess the performance and safety of the OncoSil™ device when used within the approved indication of unresectable, locally advanced pancreatic cancer, in combination with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy, within a real-world observational registry. The Registry data will provide both complementary and contemporary information to the existing clinical data across various countries and will form part of the post-market clinical follow-up activities for OncoSil™. Therefore, the Registry will be implemented only in countries with regulatory (commercial) approval for the OncoSil™ device.
Tissue acquisition by Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) has become a modality of diagnosis and clinical orientation for several diseases. Although tissue acquisition traditionally involves the cytological diagnosis (using fine-needle aspiration/FNA), the importance of obtaining a core for histological examination (by fine-needle biopsy/FNB) has recently been recognized. Currently, there is no clear establishment of the usefulness of syringe suction for the diagnostic accuracy of solid pancreatic lesions when FNB is used. Because of that, the investigators aimed to compare sensitivity, sample adequacy, and diagnostic yield of solid pancreatic lesions EUS-guided sampling using with and without syringe suction. The study will be conducted on a consecutive sample of patients proposed to perform EUS for solid pancreatic lesions characterization, in which the clinical and imaging findings justify the need for an FNB. For each case, FNB will be performed using two punctures: one with 20mL syringe suction, and another without suction. The order in which they will be performed will be known only by the performing physician and the nursing team at the time that FNB is proposed. This information will be concealed from the pathologist responsible for sample analysis. Clinical care during and after the procedure will follow the existing guidelines. Participants will undergo a single clinical evaluation (at the time of endoscopy and recovery) without the need for follow-up visits.
Fibrinogen/thrombin-coated collagen patch (TachoSil®) is known to have the effect of strengthening tissue anastomosis and promoting suturing to prevent leakage. The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of pancreatic fistula that is most crucial for surgical outcome and complications in pancreaticoduodenectomy with those of the control group and the TachoSil® apply group. Patients who were planned to undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy without a history of chronic pancreatitis are enrolled in this open-label, single-center, randomized, single-blind, phase 4 clinical trial.
The primary objective is to develop an in vitro model of cancer for laboratory study using liver, biliary and pancreatic cancer tissue. The secondary objective is to study the genetic and cellular biology of cancer of the liver, biliary tract and the pancreas. As well the investigators hope to compare molecular and cellular biology of cancer cells with normal cells as well as potentially test the efficacy of current and future anti-cancer therapies. Samples will be collected from tissue that has been resected as part of the treatment for a patient diagnosed with liver, bile duct or pancreas cancer.
