Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Neoplasms"

A phase II study combining pembrolizumab with olaparib in metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients with high tumour mutation burden

This phase II clinical trial studies the safety and effect of as second-line treatmen in local advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. The Gimatecan will be given every four weeks.

The purpose of the study is to assess the feasibility and participant satisfaction with the Support through Remote Observation and Nutrition Guidance program. The program provides enhanced dietician access and nutrition support for participants living with pancreatic cancer who are undergoing surgery.

The gut microbiota (GM) can influence as effectiveness of immunotherapy as prognosis factor in cancer patients. The goal of the study to identify GM pattern is associated with poor and favourable treatment outcomes in breast cancer and pancreatic cancer patients for further treatment strategy proper planning.

Ablative dose magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided hypofractionated radiation therapy delivered using daily adaptive dose planning has shown to improve overall survival, relative to patients receiving lower radiation doses, in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer, without increasing the rate of serious gastrointestinal toxicity. The next step is to determine how these results compare to chemotherapy alone. This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial (2:1) comparing induction chemotherapy followed by ablative Stereotactic MR-guided on-table Adaptive Radiation Therapy (SMART) versus chemotherapy alone in locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients. Overall survival outcomes at 2-years will be evaluated.

Early detection and early treatment is the most important issue to improve the long-term survival of pancreatic cancer patients. CA199 is the most commonly used biomarker for early detection and to predict survival, however, the overall positive rate for CA199 is only 75%, and what is worse, for the early stage of pancreatic cancer patients, the positive rate is even lower, and for the lewis negative patients, CA199 is not produced at all. Therefore, novel biomarkers for the early detection of pancreatic cancer are still urgently needed. Previously, we found there is a vicious cycle between pancreatic cancer cells, that is pancreatic cancer-produced TGFbeta1 could promote the production of soluble CD58 (sCD58) in macrophages, and then sCD58 could induce the production of TGFbeta1 in pancreatic cancer cells. Therefore, the serum level of TGFbeta1 and sCD58 has diagnostic and survival values for pancreatic cancer.

The PLATON Network study is designed to elevate personalized therapy based on genomic tumor profiles in gastrointestinal cancer patients. Hereby, PLATON's study-design focuses on the patient's tumor molecular profiling. Within the network a web application will be developed to link clinical investigators and information on study sites, cancer patients and genetic alteration data, as well as available clinical trials at PLATON's study sites.

This study aims to evaluate the EUS-RFA in terms of efficacy for pain management and improvement in quality-of-life parameters for patients with advanced inoperable pancreatic cancer. The primary objectives of this study are to 1) evaluate the utility of EUS-RFA for pain control and improvement in quality-of-life parameters for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer; 2) to measure the reduction of analgesic medications' requirements in patients affected by inoperable pancreatic cancer.

This phase II clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of palbociclib and binimetinib in treating patients with RAS-mutated cancers. Palbociclib and binimetinib are both in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of abnormal proteins that signals cancer cells to multiply. This trial may help researchers understand if giving the combination of palbociclib and binimetinib can help improve the amount of time before the cancer grows in patients with patients with low grade serous ovarian cancer who have certain changes in the tumor DNA. This trial may also help researchers understand if giving the combination of palbociclib and binimetinib can help improve outcomes among patients with low grade serous ovarian cancer who have previously received a MEK inhibitor. For patients with other tumors, with the exception of lung cancer, colon cancer, melanoma and low grade serous ovarian cancers, this trial may help researchers understand if giving the combination of palbociclib and binimetinib can improve the clinical outcome of survival without progression in patients who have certain changes in their tumor's DNA.

Pancreatic duodenectomy is one of the treatments offered to patients with neoplastic disease of the pancreas. In France, in 2018, 14,000 duodeno-pancreatectomies were performed, including 140 at the Hautepierre hospital at the Strasbourg University Hospital. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a major surgery, causing significant postoperative pain that should be minimized through multimodal analgesia involving in particular locoregional anesthesia. Since 2019, the recommendations of the ERAS company concerning ERAS (Improved Rehabilitation After Surgery) after pancreaticoduodenectomy recommend the establishment of thoracic epidural analgesia in order to limit postoperative pain. When there is a contraindication to the placement of a thoracic epidural, in particular due to arterial and/or venous vascular reconstructions requiring potential perioperative curative anticoagulation, the administration of local anesthetic by pericatricial catheter is recommended. recommended. The Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block has proven analgesic efficacy, safety and harmlessness in colorectal surgery.
