Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of FOLFIRINOX along with a whole cell vaccine with immune modulating doses of cyclophosphamide and nivolumab combined with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in patients with pancreatic cancer.

The purpose of this study is to find out which doses of talimogene laherparepvec (T-Vec) can be given safely to participants with pancreatic cancer that is either too big to be taken out by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body. The study will also see if T-Vec can cause tumor shrinkage or prevent its growth. The primary objective is to determine the rate of dose limiting toxicity at tested doses of talimogene laherparepvec administered endoscopically to pancreatic tumors, and to identify a maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Secondary exploratory efficacy endpoints include change in longest diameter in the injected lesion(s), overall response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 and modified immune-related response criteria (mirRC as defined in section 11), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at 6, 12, and 24 months.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of paclitaxel protein bound, gemcitabine, cisplatin, paricalcitol are effective in individuals with resectable and unresectable pancreatic cancer.

The purpose of this study is to treat participants with the combination of CPI-613 (the study drug) with FOLFIRINOX (the standard combination of drugs) to determine if it is safe and effective for participants with localized and unresectable pancreatic cancer. This study is specifically for participants who have a pancreatic cancer that is localized and not considered resectable or removable by a surgeon, without additional treatment.

This randomized phase I trial studies how well anti-semaphorin 4D (anti-SEMA4D) monoclonal antibody VX15/2503 with or without ipilimumab or nivolumab work in treating patients with stage I-III pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery or stage IV colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and can be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-SEMA4D monoclonal antibody VX15/2503, ipilimumab, and nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

This phase III trial studies cabozantinib to see how well it works compared with placebo in treating patients with neuroendocrine or carcinoid tumors that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Cabozantinib is a chemotherapy drug known as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and it targets specific tyrosine kinase receptors, that when blocked, may slow tumor growth.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well modified irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil (FOLFIRI) and veliparib as a second line of therapy work compared to FOLFIRI in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (metastatic). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil, 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. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether modified FOLFIRI and veliparib as second line therapy is more effective than FOLFIRI alone in treating metastatic pancreatic cancer.

The objective of this national and multidisciplinary project is to establish and evaluate a personalized surveillance program (SP) for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer (PC) and its precursors in individuals with a hereditary predisposition to the disease (High RIsk Individuals (HRI)). Patients who either carry a germline mutation in a PC susceptibility gene (CDKN2A, STK11, TP53, PRSS1), or have a strong family history of PC, will be enrolled through their genetics clinic at the university hospitals in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Tromsø. Surveillance consists of annual MRI, assessment of blood glucose and lipid levels, new onset diabetes (NOD) and unintentional weight loss. Blood samples will be drawn for ctDNA-analysis (circulating tumor DNA) and the IMMrayTM PanCan-d test (a novel microarray-based diagnostic test for PC) at baseline and in those who develop lesions. The psychological burden and cost-benefit of the SP will be analyzed. The study addresses an unmet need for the care of HRI in Norway, and is expected to improve PC prognosis. It will be the first to provide evidence on the combined value of a panel of blood-borne biomarkers in surveillance, and provide morphological and molecular data on PC and (non)-neoplastic pancreatic changes in HRI.

French national multicentric phase III trial evaluating chemotherapy with Folfirinox or gemcitabine in locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma.

This is a prospective, randomized phase II trial. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of two therapeutics strategies. Patients with borderline-resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) will be randomly in two arms : neoadjuvant mFolfirinox followed with or without preoperative chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine.
