Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to find out if a program of intensive chemotherapy with gemcitabine, docetaxel and capecitabine followed by an advanced form of focused radiation aimed at the patient's tumor followed by more chemotherapy can increase the chances that the patient's pancreatic tumor can be removed completely.

Phase I will determine the MDT and evaluate the safety profile of oral lenalidomide days 1-21 and weekly gemcitabine days 1, 8, & 15 in 28 day cycles Phase II will explore the anti-tumor activity and safety of the combination in subjects with advanced pancreatic carcinoma. Subjects will receive oral lenalidomide days 1-21 and weekly gemcitabine days 1, 8, & 15 in 28 day cycles until documented disease progression occurs.

This is a phase II, multi-center, open-label, single-arm clinical trial to be conducted in the United States. In approximately 55 centers, approximately 75 eligible locally advanced unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer subjects will be enrolled to receive first-line therapy of gemcitabine and panitumumab.

This is a study for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, using the drugs gemcitabine, docetaxel and capecitabine. Gemcitabine is a drug that has been approved by the FDA. Gemcitabine is been approved for treatment of cancer of the pancreas. It is also approved for treatment of lung cancer in combination with another drug called cisplatin. Docetaxel is a drug approved by the FDA. Docetaxel is approved for treatment of breast and lung cancer. Capecitabine is a drug approved by the FDA for treatment of cancer of the colon and rectum. This study will measure the levels of certain substances in participant's tumors. These substances (called genes, which are the cell's blueprint for these substances) affect how people's bodies react to the cancer drugs. Genes will also be measured in participant's blood. The purpose of this study is to see if these substances can predict survival and response in patients receiving the study drugs. In this study we wish to find out how long it takes for patients' cancers to worsen, and how long they survive after receiving the study drugs. The side effects of the combination of gemcitabine, docetaxel and capecitabine will also be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to assess the 6-month survival rate and safety of talabostat and gemcitabine in patients with stage IV adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

A multi-institutional, single arm phase II study of nivolumab, cabiralizumab and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with LAUPC. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of combined cabiralizumab, nivolumab and radiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Investigators will also estimate the surgical resection rate following treatment with combined cabiralizumab, nivolumab and radiotherapy in subjects with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer.

This study evaluates ADCT-301 in patients with Selected Advanced Solid Tumors. Patients will participate in a Treatment Period with 3-week cycles and a Follow-up Period every 12 weeks for up to 1 year after treatment discontinuation.

The goal of this study is to partner with individuals known or suspected to have pancreatic cancer to build a biobank dedicated to minimizing disparities and personalizing care for individuals affected by pancreatic cancer. A biobank is a resource that involves collection, processing and storage of blood, other bodily fluids, and tissue.

In an unbiased CRISPR screen, RIPK1 was identified as a top gene contributing to immunotherapy resistance. In addition, RIPK1 has been reported to drive pancreatic oncogenesis. In murine models, inhibition of RIPK1 kinase activity in the pancreatic tumor microenvironment leads to the replacement of tumor-permissive myeloid infiltrates with innate cells that promote an effective antitumor response by adaptive cells. The investigators hypothesize that inhibition of RIPK1 in human pancreatic cancer subjects will modulate the immune infiltrate to sensitize tumors to checkpoint blockade.

The main purpose of this study is to look at the potential effects of paricalcitol (a drug similar to vitamin D) and nivolumab on pancreatic tumors in patients who are treated with gemcitabine and abraxane. The study will also look at the safety of including paricalcitol and nivolumab as part of the gemcitabine and abraxane chemotherapeutic regimen.
