Varenicline or Nicotine Patch and Nicotine Gum in Helping Smokers in a Methadone Treatment Program...
Bladder CancerCervical Cancer9 moreRATIONALE: Varenicline, the nicotine patch, and nicotine gum help people stop smoking. It is not yet known whether varenicline is more effective than the nicotine patch given together with nicotine gum in helping smokers quit smoking. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying varenicline to see how well it works compared with the nicotine patch given together with nicotine gum in helping smokers in a methadone treatment program stop smoking.
Strength Training on Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic NeoplasmsCachexia1 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine whether prednisone, methotrexate, and cyclophosphamide are effective in the treatment of rapidly progressive hearing loss in both ears due to autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED).
Conatumumab, Gemcitabine Hydrochloride, Capecitabine, and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients...
Pancreatic CancerRATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as conatumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy may uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving conatumumab together with gemcitabine hydrochloride, capecitabine, and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of conatumumab when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride, capecitabine, and radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Radiolabeled Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Gastrointestinal Cancer
Colorectal CancerEsophageal Cancer2 moreRATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for gastrointestinal cancer. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of radiolabeled monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have gastrointestinal cancer.
A First-in-human Clinical Evaluation of SN132D in Patients With Breast and Pancreatic Cancer
Breast CancerPancreas CancerThis phase I, first-in-human (FIH) study is open-label, non-randomised and non-placebo-controlled. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single intravenous dose of SN132D in approximately 24 patients with breast and pancreatic cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be performed pre- and post-infusion of SN132D.
CIrculating Tumor DNA for Monitoring Response to First Line Chemotherapy in Unresectable PANcreatic...
Pancreatic CancerCirculating Tumor DNA1 moreWith an incidence of more than 11,600 new cases per year in France and an annual number of deaths close to the incidence rate, adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is a public health problem. The aim of this study is to assess the predictive value of response to the 1st line of chemotherapy of mutated KRAS ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) in unresectable metastatic or locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinomas.
Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of CPO102, an Anti-claudin 18.2 ADC in Patients With Advanced...
Pancreatic CancerGastric CancerThis Phase 1 study will be a multicenter, single agent, dose escalation and dose expansion study conducted in patients with advanced late stage cancer (pancreatic or gastric including esophageal junction cancers) for which the investigator determines there to be no other standard of care or higher priority therapies available.
Study of Anti-CEA CAR-T + Chemotherapy VS Chemotherapy Alone in Patients With CEA+Pancreatic Cancer...
Malignant Tumor of Pancreas Metastatic to LiverThis study is a randomized open-label phase 2b study of the efficacy and safety of regional infusion therapy with Anti-CEA CAR-T cells using the hepatic immunotherapy for metastases (HITM) method and the Trisalus pressure enabling drug delivery (PEDD) device alternating with systemic chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients with CEA-expressing pancreatic adenocarcinoma with liver metastases.
Pharmacogenomics Testing in Directing the Optimal Use of Supportive Care Medications in Patients...
Anatomic Stage III Breast Cancer AJCC v8Anatomic Stage IIIA Breast Cancer AJCC v846 moreThis early phase I trial studies how well a genetic test called pharmacogenomics works in directing the optimal use of supportive care medications in patients with stage III-IV cancer. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes may affect the body's response to and interaction with some prescription medications. Genes, which are inherited from parents, carry information that determines things such as eye color and blood type. Genes can also influence how patients process and respond to medications. Depending on the genetic makeup, some medications may work faster or slower or produce more or fewer side effects. Pharmacogenomics testing may help doctors learn more about how patients break down and process specific medications based on their genes and improve the quality of life of cancer patients receiving clinical care.
Comparison of Two Types of Biopsy Needles for EUS-FNB in Solid Pancreatobiliary Mass Lesions
Pancreatic NeoplasmsEUS-guided tissue acquisition is an established modality to diagnose malignancies of the pancreas and extrahepatic bile ducts. In the recent years fine needle biopsy (FNB) needles have largely replaced fine needle aspiration (FNA) for EUS-guided tissue acquisition. The Acquire FNB needle is a Franseen needle which has three symmetric cutting edges to obtain core tissue specimens. The Trident FNB needle has been recently introduced to the market for EUS-guided tissue acquisition. It has a multi-blade three-prong tip which one of the tips is longer than the other two. The aim of this study is to prospectively compare these two types of needle in term of diagnostic accuracy, and safety profile.
