Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel is a standard regimen (NCCN, Category 1) for patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, further improvement in treatment is needed. Increasingly, the nature of the immune infiltrate in PDAC appears to be tumor promoting. In preclinical studies, ibrutinib treatment, presumably by reprogramming B cells, results in increased CD8+ T cells to assist in tumor control. Preclinical studies of ibrutinib plus gemcitabine show superior antitumor effects compared to gemcitabine alone in both orthotopic murine pancreatic cancer cell line grafts and in genetically engineered mouse models. Thus, the investigators propose a clinical trial of ibrutinib plus the standard gemcitabine based regimen of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, evaluating safety, then efficacy and including correlative studies.

The primary purpose of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of DS-8201a and physician's choice treatment in HER2-overexpressing advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma patients who have progressed on two prior treatment regimens including fluoropyrimidine agent, platinum agent, and trastuzumab.

Chemotherapy regimens for pancreatic cancer can now stabilize a patient's cancer and/or place some patients in remission or partial remission. The challenge now is to find options for maintenance therapies that will improve survival and allow continued benefits with minimal toxicities and inconvenience to the patients. This study will determine the effects of one possible maintenance regimen. The study is being conducted to determine the effects that pembrolizumab with or without the addition of paricalcitol may have on pancreatic cancer. Half of the patients will be randomized to receive pembrolizumab + paricalcitol and half to receive pembrolizumab + placebo.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of paclitaxel that can be given as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to patients with gastric or gastroesophageal cancer. HIPEC is a system in which heated chemotherapy is delivered directly inside the abdomen during surgery. In this study, paclitaxel is being combined with mitomycin and cisplatin to see if this study drug combination can help to control the disease. This is an investigational study. Mitomycin, cisplatin, and paclitaxel are FDA-approved and commercially available for the treatment of gastric and gastroesophageal cancer. It is investigational to give these drugs by HIPEC. The study doctor can describe how the study drugs and HIPEC are designed to work. Up to 48 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

This phase 1 first-in-human study evaluates safety and tolerability of SBP-101 in subjects with previously treated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and will identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In addition, this study will also assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and preliminary efficacy of SBP-101.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate superiority of treatment with avelumab plus best supportive care (BSC) versus physician's choice (chosen from a pre-specified list of therapeutic options) plus BSC.

This is a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of, adherence to, and early efficacy of Band Together, a strength-training and walking program (intervention arm) vs. education on the benefits of exercise (control arm) in patients with aggressive gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies (gastric, gastroesophageal, and pancreatic cancer) undergoing neoadjuvant therapy.

This is an exploratory Phase I study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the OXIRI regimen [oxaliplatin (O), xeloda (X) and irinotecan (I)] and to evaluate for preliminary evidence of efficacy, in patients with advanced and/or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The investigators hypothesize that 2 of 3 weekly doses of oxaliplatin and genotype directed-dosing of irinotecan in combination with chronomodulated capecitabine (xeloda) administered continuously will be more tolerable than the FOLFIRINOX regimen (folinic acid, fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin) while maintaining anti-tumour activity.

The large-scale phase IV study aims to verify the safety and efficacy of apatinib in patients with advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma after failure of two lines of chemotherapy. Apatinib initiated at a recommended dose of 850mg. However, the starting dose was decided by investigator's choice based on patients' condition. Dose interruption and dose reduction were allowed according to the product label. Treatment continued until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, or at investigators' discretion. The primary endpoint was safety, which was assessed by recording the incidence and severity of adverse events.

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of administering various dose regimens of ramucirumab in participants with advanced gastric cancer whose disease has progressed during or following prior chemotherapy.
