Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Neoplasms"

This phase Ⅱ study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mFOLFIRINOX as first-line treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer in China.

The purpose of this study is to assess safety of nab-paclitaxel based chemotherapy regimens administered prior to and/or in combination with nivolumab in Pancreatic Cancer, Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safeness and effectiveness of mix vaccine (MV). Enrolled patients will receive standard treatment according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guide line with or without combining MV injection. The efficacy and side effect will be compared between the two groups.

Assessment of safety and tolerability of ADI-PEG 20 plus nab-Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine in subjects with Advanced Pancreatic Carcinoma.

The investigators hypothesize that the new imaging method Gallium-68-DOTATATE has a higher diagnostic value in the detection of neuroendocrine tumors than the established imaging method Indium-111-Octreoscan. Therefore, the investigators will perform both imaging procedures in patients with suspected or confirmed neuroendocrine tumors. Subsequently, the investigators will compare the diagnostic performance of both methods.

The purpose of this study is to see whether an altered schedule of giving erlotinib in combination with gemcitabine will be safe and might improve the results of the treatment for advanced cancer of the pancreas. Gemcitabine and erlotinib are commercially available. Gemcitabine is FDA approved as first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic cancer of the pancreas. Erlotinib is FDA approved in combination with gemcitabine for the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer. The FDA recommended dose for erlotinib is 100 mg daily. This study will investigate the experimental administration of higher doses of erlotinib given for only three days twice a month, a schedule called "pulse dosing".

This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of DMUC4064A administered by intravenous (IV) infusion every three weeks (q3w) to cancer participants. The study will employ a traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation design to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of DMUC4064A against platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Once a q3w recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) is identified, two expansion cohorts (one in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and another in unresectable pancreatic cancer) may be evaluated to further characterize the safety and activity in these populations.

FOLFIRINOX regimen was recently presented at an international oncology meeting and represents a new standard regimen in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer. FOLFIRINOX is one of the high response rate treatment regimen , the investigators considered as a promising treatment as neoadjuvant chemotherapy . On the other hand , incidences of grade 3 or 4 neutropenia , febrile neutropenia and diarrhea were significantly higher in the FOLFIRINOX group compared with gemcitabine group. Therefore, it was decided to consider the balance of safety and efficacy as a preoperative chemotherapy, the investigators use the FIRINOX regimen by eliminating LV and bolus 5-FU, and irinotecan reduced to 150mg/m2 of 180mg/m2 from FOLFIRINOX regimen

This is a Japanese Phase 1, open-label, and dose-escalating trial of TH-302 as monotherapy in subjects with solid tumors and in combination with gemcitabine in subjects with pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer, especially at advanced metastatic stage, is a devastating disease. It is the fourth leading cause of cancer death. Its prognosis is grim - 5-year survival rate being 6%. The current therapies for advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer are very toxic and with limited efficacy. A safer and more effective therapy for this devastating disease is greatly needed. G-FLIP regimen is a combination of low doses (doses lower than those approved by the FDA and used in the clinic) of several anti-cancer drugs, Gemcitabine, Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, Irinotecan and Oxaliplatin. The efficacy of G-FLIP against cancers (especially pancreatic cancer) is based on laboratory and clinical results, which indicates the synergistic efficacy of these anti-cancer drugs against cancer cells and overcoming tumor drug resistance that cancer cells frequently develop. Also, because of their low doses, this regimen is less toxic than when these drugs are used alone. Meanwhile, intravenous infusion of high doses (doses significantly higher than the daily nutritional requirements) of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has been observed to have anti-cancer activities. This is especially true when Vitamin C is used in combination with other anti-cancer drugs.
