Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Neoplasms"

This trial is to determine the safest dose of a triple combination (chemokine modulatory regimen or CKM) of celecoxib, interferon alfa (IFN), and rintatolimod that can be given with a DC vaccine as treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies after standard of care surgery. The first phase of this study will determine the safest dose of IFN that can be given in combination with celecoxib and rintatolimod along with a DC vaccine. The doses of celecoxib (400 mg) and rintatolimod (200 mg) will be consistent while the dose of IFN will be increased (5, 10, or 20 MU/m2) as participants are enrolled to the trial. The high dose of IFN in combination with celecoxib and rintatolimod will be used for the next phase of the clinical trial. After surgery, participants will receive 2 cycles of the investigational treatment. The second phase of this study will test if the investigational treatment has any effects on peritoneal surface malignancies. The doses of the combination determined in the first phase will be used in this phase of the clinical trial. After surgery, participants will receive 2 cycles of the investigational treatment, followed by standard chemotherapy as determined by their oncologist, and then 2 more cycles of the investigational treatment.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and side effects of LY2157299 in combination with gemcitabine in Japanese participants with pancreatic cancer that is advanced or has spread to another part of the body.

The main purpose of this study is to see primarily if BYL719 is safe to be given to patients in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel is an FDA-approved regimen to treat pancreatic cancer. Secondary goals will be to find out the effect on tumor of this new drug combination of BYL719, gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. In the first part of the study, different doses of BYL719 will be tested. In the second part of the study, all patients will be started at the same dose of BYL719.

This was a quality of life (QOL) study done in the context of a randomized trial in locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Eligible patients were randomized to receive either the combination of nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine or standard gemcitabine monotherapy. The combination regimen of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine showed improved efficacy with acceptable toxicity in this disease setting in first-line and was approved for this indication. The study design allowed patients in standard treatment to receive the combination treatment after first tumour progression. The proposed study explored the impact of treatment on the QOL scores and compared the times to definitive deterioration of the QOL scores using the validated EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Efficacy and safety were secondary endpoints and were reported descriptively. Molecular studies will be performed on blood and tissue samples as avaialble and will be reported separately.

At this moment, FOLFIRINOX is the best treatment for selected patients (pts) with metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC). Investigator would like to evaluate the substitution of CPT11 or Oxaliplatin in FOLFIRINOX schedule with Nab-paclitaxel (Nab-p) [Nab-FOLFIRI and Nab-FOLFOX]. Doses for Nab-FOLFIRI and Nab-FOLFOX will be determined by the phase I trial. One or both schedules will be evaluated in successive phase II part.

In this study the investigators are testing if the addition of Stereotactic Body Radiation therapy (SBRT) prior to surgery improves surgical outcome in patients with borderline resectable or resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC).

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and the efficacy of the combination of the drugs TH-302 and sunitinib in metastatic neuroendocrine tumours.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of TG01 and Granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) when given in addition to gemcitabine (chemotherapy) and Understand any possible side effects of the additional use of TG01/GM-CSF with gemcitabine Investigate whether TG01/GM-CSF when given with gemcitabine can produce an immune response Investigate if the treatment can delay or reduce recurrence of the disease

The interest in using L-asparaginase in pancreatic cancer arose from in vitro and in vivo studies data showing an anti-neoplastic effect on pancreatic tumor cell lines. Interestingly, these studies suggest an additional effect of L-asparaginase associated to gemcitabine.GRASPA is a suspension of red blood cells encapsulating L-asparaginase. The aim of this phase I clinical trial is to evaluate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of GRASPA on locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic tumors, after therapy failure of first or second line chemotherapy using gemcitabine.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if a chemotherapy combination called modified Folfirinox (or mFolfirinox), followed by a combination of gemcitabine and radiation therapy, followed by surgery, can help to control pancreatic cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. mFolfirinox consists of 5-FU, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. These 3 drugs, along with gemcitabine, are each designed to block the growth of cancer cells, which may lead to cancer cell death.
