Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

This trial studies tucatinib to find out if it is safe when given with trastuzumab and other anti-cancer drugs (pembrolizumab, FOLFOX, and CAPOX). It will look at what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect is anything the drug does other than treating cancer. It will also look at whether tucatinib works with these drugs to treat certain types of cancer. The participants in this trial have HER2-positive (HER2+) cancer in their gut, stomach, intestines, or gallbladder (gastrointestinal cancer).

This is a randomized multicentre phase II trial with a large translational component. The trial will evaluate the two standard chemotherapy regimens: modified folfirinox (mFFX) and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GA), in patients with untreated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Integrated into this phase II trial are a number of laboratory components including molecular profiling, patient derived organoid establishment, and drug testing sensitivity and other biomarkers.

To date, there have been no Canadian led neoadjuvant or peri-operative trials, this multicentre design gives the opportunity to build more experience with this strategy across Canada in more institutions. The design of this prospective trial will also test our important hypotheses regarding the use of biomarkers to understand the benefit of mFFX in improving outcomes for patients with resectable pancreas cancer. Data from this study would likely inform future studies where patients are given personalised options for the best treatment strategies rather than one empiric approach.

This phase I/II trial studies the effect of sonoporation in addition to standard of care chemotherapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer. Sonoporation is a novel method that uses ultrasound and microbubbles to increase therapeutic effect by increasing uptake or enhance sensitization. Sonoporation together with chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to chemotherapy alone.

This phase III trial compares minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to laparotomy in treating patients with stage IIIC-IV ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who are receiving chemotherapy before and after surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy). MIS is a surgical procedure that uses small incision(s) and is intended to produce minimal blood loss and pain for the patient. Laparotomy is a surgical procedure which allows the doctors to remove some or all of the tumor and check if the disease has spread to other organs in the body. MIS may work the same or better than standard laparotomy after chemotherapy in prolonging the return of the disease and/or improving quality of life after surgery.

This phase II trial evaluates whether early switching from modified fluorouracil/irinotecan/leucovorin/oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX) chemotherapy regimen to a combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (GA) before surgery is effective in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that can be surgically removed (resectable or borderline resectable), or that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes and cannot be removed by surgery (locally-advanced unresectable). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. The study will also evaluate the drug losartan in combination with mFOLFIRINOX or GA.

The FOLFIRINOX regimen has become the standard treatment regimen for advanced colorectal cancer, advanced pancreatic cancer and postoperative adjuvant treatment for pancreatic cancer. With the continuous exploration of Chinese scholars, it has also revised the modified dose suitable for the physical fitness of the Chinese people, which is well tolerated and has a clear efficiency. The drugs in this program are all standard treatment drugs for gastric cancer. In 2020, JAMA Network Open and JAMA Oncology successively reported the application of FOLFIRINOX in the perioperative period of gastric cancer and the late-stage results of gastric cancer, and they obtained very amazing data respectively. According to the results of CheckMate-649, the FDA approved Nivolumab combined chemotherapy for first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer and esophageal adenocarcinoma, regardless of PD-L1 expression. At the same time, this is also the first first-line immunotherapy approved by the FDA for gastric cancer.However, there is no definite conclusion about the preoperative neoadjuvant or perioperative clinical research, so it is necessary to explore the efficacy of PD-1 antibody in the perioperative period. This study is a single-center, randomized, controlled phase II clinical study. The primary endpoint of the study is the perioperative administration of mFOLFIRINOX regimen combined with PD-1 antibody and D2 radical resection for the treatment of resectable advanced gastric cancer. The deep tumor remission rate (TRG0 and TRG1) , secondary endpoints include pCR rate, 3-year DFS rate, safety, R0 resection rate, D2 radical resection rate, 5-year DFS rate, 5-year OS rate.
