Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Neoplasms"

This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating patients with solid tumors that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Tegavivint interferes with the binding of beta-catenin to TBL1, which may help stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell that tell a cell to grow.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of maintenance olaparib and pembrolizumab following multi-agent, low dose chemotherapy with gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, capecitabine, cisplatin, and irinotecan (GAX-CI) in patients with untreated metastatic pancreatic ductal cancer.

GTI-4711-201 is designed as a Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to determine the effect to OS by adding GC4711 to SBRT following chemotherapy in patients with unresectable or borderline resectable nonmetastatic

The study is a randomised controlled trial comparing the effectivity and impact of epidural analgesia and wound catheter analgesia in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. The aim of the study is to examine whether there are a difference in perioperative fluid therapy and complication rates between the patients in epidural and wound catheter groups.

The purpose of this study is to determine if neoadjuvant therapy to increases resection rate for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Am80（Generic name: Tamibarotene, Development code: MIKE-1） in combination with gemcitabine (GEM) and nab-paclitaxel (nab-PTX) in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer and to determine the recommended dose. Efficacy will also be exploratively investigated.

This phase II trial studies the effect of botulinum toxin (Botox) in preventing postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a known risk of distal pancreatic surgery, in which leakage of pancreatic digestive liquids causes internal swelling that can be painful (termed inflammation). A valve-like muscle, called the Sphincter of Oddi, opens and closes, controlling the flow of digestive liquids from the liver (bile) and pancreas (pancreatic juice) to the small intestine (duodenum). After surgery, the Sphincter of Oddi may act to block the flow of normal pancreatic secretions, causing secretions to leak into the abdomen resulting in POPF. Botox is a drug that can cause paralysis of muscles. Giving an injection of Botox into the sphincter of Oddi before distal pancreatic surgery may reduce leakage of digestive fluids and potential POPF.

This first-in-human study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of TORL-2-307-ADC in patients with advanced cancer

In this study we aim to test the efficacy of a combined and novel approach including induction chemotherapy (per standard of care) followed by SBRT and maintenance ipililumab + nivolumab in the first line setting of stage IV PDAC. Study Hypothesis: Cytotoxic chemotherapy followed by hypofractionated radiotherapy will sensitize pancreatic cancer to immunotherapy consisting of combined PD-1 and CTLA4 blockade. We hypothesize that direct targeting of the pancreatic cancer cells by chemotherapy and hypofractionated radiotherapy is necessary for initial anti-tumor response. Furthermore, the combination of immunotherapy as a maintenance strategy will have profound anti-tumor efficacy in this setting. Implications of hypothesis: Improved response rate above historical controls Lengthened progression-free survival Improved overall-survival Exploratory Hypothesis: We hypothesize that baseline markers of immune activation such as Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes and CD8+ lymphocytes will correlate with response to ipililumab + nivolumab and that responders will have distinct tumor immune phenotype as determined by immunohistochemistry and gene expression profiling compared to nonresponders.

This phase II study is designed to investigate the efficacy of intraoperative radiotherapy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. The purpose of the study is to show the local recurrence rate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and IORT is superior to that of surgical resection alone from the historical control. A total of 80 patients will be enrolled, and these patients will receive IORT of 10 Gy at 5 millimeter depth of the tumor bed, following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
