Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Neoplasms"

This is a phase 2, three-cohort (2 randomized and 1 single-arm), open-label study to evaluate the comparative efficacy and overall safety of standard-of-care chemotherapy versus standard-of-care chemotherapy in combination with aldoxorubicin HCl, N-803, and PD-L1 t-haNK in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Each treatment setting (ie, first line maintenance, second line, or third line or greater) will be evaluated independently as a separate cohort.

Patients with advanced pancreas adenocarcinoma will be randomized on a 6:1 basis to receive standard of care chemotherapy followed by stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) with concurrent and adjuvant FAK inhibitor defactinib (experimental arm) or standard of care chemotherapy followed by SBRT (control arm). Patients enrolled to the experimental arm will be assessed for clinical outcomes such as progression free survival (PFS), local control, distant control, and toxicity. The first 6 patients randomized to the experimental arm will be considered the safety lead-in and will be assessed for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). The 6 patients randomized to the control arm will be evaluated for correlatives but will not be included in the analysis for primary and secondary endpoints. Hypothesis: locally advanced pancreas cancer patients treated with SBRT and concurrent plus adjuvant defactinib will have increased PFS compared to historical rates for patients receiving SBRT alone.

This is an open label, randomized phase 2 study of NaliCap (irinotecan liposome/Capecitabine) compared to NAPOLI (irinotecan liposome/5-FU/LV) in gemcitabine-pretreated advanced pancreatic cancer patients.

Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most aggressive malignant neoplasms with poor outcomes. Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is the only curative treatment for PC. Minimally invasive surgery has been progressively developed, first with the advent of hybrid-laparoscopy and recently with the total laparoscopy surgeries, but a number of issues are currently being debated, including the superiority between total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (TLPD)and the open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). Studies comparing these two surgery techniques are merging and randomized controlled trials (RCT) are lacking but clearly required. Methods/design: TJDBPS07 is a multicenter prospective, randomized controlled, trial comparing TLPD and OPD in pancreatic cancers. A total of 200 patients with pancreatic cancer underwent PD will be randomly allocated to the TLPD group or OPD group with an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pattern. The trial's aim is to exploring the overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS) and quality of life. The duration of the entire trial is seven years including prearrangement, a presumably five-year follow-up and analyses. Discussion: Despite the fact there are several RCTs comparing minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) and Open approach or LPD versus OPD. This trial will be the first comparing TLPD and OPD in a large multicenter setting. TJDBPS01 trial is hypothesized to assess whether TLPD has superiority over OPD in recovery and other aspects.

This study is to investigate whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus SBRT results in better outcomes compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone and also compare the efficacy of gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel with SBRT and S-1 plus nab-paclitaxel with SBRT.

This study elucidates the effects of the intravenous (IV) lidocaine infusion on the biology of pancreatic circulating tumor cells (CTCs) isolated from patients undergoing robotic pancreatectomy for all types of pancreatic cancer. A prospective randomized controlled double blinded trial design will be used for the proposed study.

This early phase I trial aims to determine how cobimetinib, olaparib, LY3214996, or onvansertib works in patients with pancreatic cancer. Validation of cobimetinib, or olaparib, LY3214996, and onvansertib molecular targets will be explored by comparing pre-treatment biopsies with post-treatment specimens. This knowledge will help design future biomarker driven trials to determine whether giving cobimetinib, or olaparib, LY3214996, or onvansertib will work better than standard treatments in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Assess the effectiveness of galeterone in advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of high dose omeprazole and see what effects that it has on patients with exocrine pancreatic cancer.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic versus open pancreatoduodenectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer
