Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Neoplasms"

The goal of this study is to evaluate the consistency between in vitro tumor organoid drug sensitivity and the therapeutic efficacy of in vivo drug treatment. Participants are required to provide one of fresh tumor tissues (including ascites, pleural effusion, biopsy tissues, palliative surgery specimens, etc.) for the purpose of culturing tumor organoids.

This study is an open-label, international, multi-center, Phase 1 study in adult patients with solid tumors likely to express CLDN18.2.

This study is designed to investigate the means by which cancer resists treatment can be overcome by a combination of an established anticancer drug, trametinib, with hydroxychloroquine.

This study is open to adults with advanced cancer in the biliary tract, pancreas, lung, or bladder. This is a study for people for whom previous treatment was not successful or no treatment exists. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 907828 helps people with cancer in the biliary tract, pancreas, lung, or bladder. BI 907828 is a so-called MDM2 inhibitor that is being developed to treat cancer. All participants take BI 907828 as a tablet once every 3 weeks. Participants may continue to take BI 907828 as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. They visit the study site regularly. At the study site, doctors regularly check the size of the tumour and whether it has spread to other parts of the body. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fourth cause of cancer death in Western countries. More than 50% of the patients with PDAC has a local advanced or metastatic disease at the time of the diagnosis. There is a growing interest in the investigation of novel and alternative therapeutic strategies which could be used in synergy with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. These methods include echoendoscopic (EUS) guided locoregional ablation to reduce the tumoral mass. The most studied technique is the radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Another interesting technique involves the use of the laser source at a wavelength of 1064 nm. Among all the ablative methods, LA is the only one that allows the use of a thinner needle. These features make LA a suitable option for treating focal lesions in high-risk areas or in hard-to-reach locations. A previous study demonstrated the feasibility of this technique in pancreatic solid lesions. In order to perform a study aimed at the complete treatment of the lesion, it is necessary to identify the laser parameters which are specific to the size and location of the lesion. The present protocol presents a prospective interventional study aimed at the analysis and applicability of predictive mathematical models for the calculation of laser settings in the ablation of pancreatic lesion by means of a EUS-guided LA.

This Phase I clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) profile and preliminary efficacy of intratumoral injection of Carbon Nanoparticle-Loaded Iron [CNSI-Fe(II)] in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study also aims to observe dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) of CNSI-Fe(II) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the highest injectable dose in humans, providing dosing guidelines for future clinical studies. CNSI-Fe(II) shows promise as an innovative tumor therapeutic agent due to its unique properties of ferroptosis. The study primarily focuses on assessing the potential efficacy of CNSI-Fe(II) in patients with advanced solid tumors, particularly in patients with Kras mutation, e.g., pancreatic cancer patients.

This is a Phase II, non-randomized, multicenter, unblinded open-label study of Olaparib in monotherapy in participants with advanced (locally advanced/metastatic) PALB2-related pancreatic cancer that have progressed after at least one treatment for advanced disease.

To investigate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of TCR-T cells in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of standard chemotherapy with or without a novel High Intensity Focused Ultrasound system (Code: Suizenji) in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer who are refractory or intolerant to first-line chemotherapy.

Pancreatic cancer is a cancer with a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. The prognosis of surgically resectable pancreatic cancer is better than that of unresectable pancreatic cancer. But the prognosis is still poor enough to report a 2-year disease-free survival rate of 47.0% despite the application of standard treatment. Preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer has been performed for a long time, especially for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. However, there are very few studies on the application of preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy for borderline resectable or resectable pancreatic cancer. The PREOPANC trial is a representative randomized study to investigate the effect of preoperative chemo/radiation therapy in borderline resectable or resectable pancreatic cancer. As a result, the overall survival, progression-free survival, local control, and distant control rates were significantly superior in preoperative therapy group. However, when only patients with resectable pancreatic cancer were analyzed separately, there was no significant difference in overall survival rate or complete resection rate. In 2020, retrospective propensity score matching analysis using the national cancer database revealed that the addition of preoperative stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) showed a significant increase in overall survival rate rather than preoperative chemotherapy alone. In addition, SBRT also showed a significant increase in overall survival rather than conventional fractionated RT. In summary, the current standard treatment for resectable pancreatic cancer is surgical resection, but a higher survival rate can be expected when preoperative therapy is added. However, there is no study that focused on the role of preoperative SBRT. Therefore, this study aims to confirm the effectiveness of adding preoperative SBRT alone in resectable pancreatic cancer.
