Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Neoplasms"

An early feasibility study to evaluate feasibility, radiotherapy benefits and safety when using TraceIT tissue spacer to create space between pancreas and duodenum in patients with localized Pancreatic Cancer.

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness and long-term outcomes between patients with pancreatic carcinoma and biliary obstruction who are treated by stent insertion with or without high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation.

To evaluate efficacy and safety of irinotecan hydrochloride liposome in combination with 5-FU/LV as second-line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer after treatment failure with gemcitabine-based therapy.

This study will be conducted to support the registration of the lanreotide Autogel 120 mg formulation in China for the treatment of GEP-NETs and treatment of clinical symptoms of NETs. The study will include a screening period of up to 4 weeks followed by a 48-week intervention period. After completion of the main study period, approximately five participants will continue in a self/partner injection cohort with lanreotide Autogel 120 mg every 28 days for 24 weeks.

The objective is to compare efficacy and safety of masitinib in combination with gemcitabine to placebo in combination with gemcitabine, in treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer and who have pain related to the disease.

Background: A most common liver cancer in adults is hepatocellular carcinoma. Other kinds of liver cancer happen when colorectal or pancreatic cancer spreads to the liver. Researchers want to study if a combination of drugs helps people with these cancers. The drugs are nivolumab, tadalafil, and vancomycin. Objective: To investigate if nivolumab given with tadalafil and vancomycin causes liver cancer to shrink. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 years and older with hepatocellular carcinoma or metastases to the liver from colorectal or pancreatic cancer for which standard treatment has not worked Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical and cancer history Review of symptoms and ability to perform normal activities Physical exam Heart test. Some participants may meet with a cardiologist and/or have another heart test. Scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis Blood and urine tests Tumor sample review. This can be from a previous procedure. Participants will receive the study drugs in 4-week cycles. In each cycle participants will: Get nivolumab through a small plastic tube in the arm on Day 1. Take tadalafil by mouth 1 time every day. Take vancomycin by mouth 4 times a day. They will take it every day for weeks 1 3, then not take it for week 4. Complete a medicine diary of dates, times, missed doses and symptoms. Throughout the study, participants will repeat screening tests and will give stool samples or rectal swabs. After their last cycle, participants will have 3 follow-up visits over 3 months. Then they will be contacted every 6 months by phone or email and asked about their general well-being. ...

FT500 is an off-the-shelf, iPSC-derived NK cell product that can bridge innate and adaptive immunity, and has the potential to overcome multiple mechanisms of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) resistance. The preclinical data provide compelling evidence supporting the clinical investigation of FT500 as monotherapy and in combination with ICI in participants with advanced solid tumors.

This research study is evaluating a new type of pancreatic cancer vaccine called "Personalized Neoantigen Cancer Vaccine" as a possible treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer. The purpose of the clinical study is evaluating the safety, tolerability and partial efficacy of the personalized neoantigen cancer vaccine in the treatment of Chinese patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, so as to provide a new personalized therapeutic strategy for advanced pancreatic cancer patients. It is known that cancer patients have mutations (changes in genetic material) that are specific to an individual patient and tumor. These mutations can cause the tumor cells to produce proteins that appear very different from the body's own cells. It is possible that these proteins used in a vaccine may induce strong immune responses, which may help the participant's body fight any tumor cells that could cause the cancer to come back in the future. The study will examine the safety of the vaccine when given at several different time points and will examine the participant's blood cells for signs that the vaccine induced an immune response.

This study is a prospective open phase-I study to investigate the safety and tolerability for administration of repeated doses of ALECSAT. Each patient will be followed up to 24 weeks from the initial blood donation to the last visit. However, the actual treatment starts on day 26, when the first single dose of ALECSAT is administered. The following administrations are given with 3 weeks intervals, i.e. at week 7 and 10. The patients are attending Kirurgisk afdeling K, Bispebjerg Hospital, and are followed by close examinations during the study period and at regular visits after completing the study as advised by the patient's responsible physician.

This protocol will study the impact of Irreversible electroporation (IRE) on immune response in patients diagnosed with unresectable pancreatic cancers smaller than 5.0 cm. It will profile the immune response to IRE of unresectable pancreatic cancers. The intra-tumoral and systemic immune response to IRE will be determined and compared to pre-ablated pancreatic cancer specimens and historical control specimens.
