View clinical trials related to Resectable Pancreatic Cancer.
Filter by:This trial is a retrospective, observational study, patients who underwent surgical resection of the pancreas for non-metastatic pancreatic cancer between 2016 and 2022 were selected and divided into two groups according to with (study arm) or without (control arm) nimotuzumab. The primary efficacy endpoint was overall survival (OS).
Pancreatic cancer represents the fourth cause of death by cancer in western countries. The only curative treatment is surgery but this one is possible only in 10 to 15 % of cases. To date, there are few biomarkers in circulating blood as prognostic or diagnostic markers in pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine if the pancreatic tumor mobilization during its resection impacts the quantity of circulating tumor DNA in peripheral and portal blood.
This is a window-of-opportunity study that examines the efficacy of doxycycline, and FDA-approved oral antibiotic, on metakaryotic (cancer stem cells) in resectable pancreatic cancer following eight weeks of treatment.
Accurate staging of patients with pancreatic cancer is critical to avoid the expense, morbidity, and mortality related to unnecessary surgery. While several tests are available for assessing such patients, consensus has not been achieved on the optimal approach. As a matter of fact, pancreatic cancer staging is discussed controversially due to conflicting evidence and certainly EUS has lost grounds due to improvements in CT technology. Thus, the role of EUS and EUS-guided FNA varies among treatment centers. The present study is designed to better define the role of EUS in predicting resectability, as compared to high resolution cross-sectional imaging.
NEONAX is an interventional, prospective, randomized, controlled, open label, two sided survival phase II studies against a fixed survival probability, with an unconnected analysis of the results in both experimental arms. Determining the impact of 2 cycles of Perioperative nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine followed by surgery and 4 cycles of adjuvant nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine or 6 cycles of adjuvant nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine on the Disease free survival (DFS) rate at 18 months post randomization
Primary Objective: To determine the rate of downstaging to resectability in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer receiving FOLFIRINOX and SBRT as preoperative therapy. Secondary Objective(s): 1. To assess the disease-free-survival, overall survival, time to recurrence and site of recurrence in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer receiving preoperative FOLFIRINOX followed by SBRT 2. To investigate the safety and tolerability of FOLFIRINOX and SBRT in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer 3. To determine the radiologic and pathological response associated with preoperative SBRT and FOLFIRINOX therapy 4. To assess quality of life through and after treatment using the FACT-Hep questionnaire
The main purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether Abraxane and gemcitabine are effective in treating patients with operable pancreatic cancer.
