Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Neoplasms"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of APN401 in treating patients with pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, or other solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body or have come back. APN401 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The clinical application of intraoperative or percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is limited due to higher mortality and incidence of adverse events. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided RFA (EUS-RFA) for locally advanced, unresectable PDAC. Patients with unresectable PDAC who underwent EUS-RFA were included from September 2013 to June 2016. Pre- and post-procedural clinical data was retrospective collected.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the value of ctDNA detection in the assessment of response rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer and to explore the correlation between ctDNA clearance and prognosis at different time points. Meanwhile, whole exome sequencing (WES) and RNA Sequencing (RNA-seq) of samples of responders and non-responders to neoadjuvant chemotherapy before and after treatment are performed to explore the mechanisms of drug resistance and provide guidance for clinical decision making.

To study the expression pattern of Integrin alpha 2b (ITGA2b) and Selectin P (SELP) genes of Tumor educated platelets in pancreatic and biliary tree cancer and its diagnostic value. To investigate correlation between expression levels of ITGA2b and SELP genes and stages of pancreatic and biliary tree cancer. To investigate correlation between expression levels of ITGA2b, SELP genes, CA 19-9 and CEA in pancreatic and biliary tree cancer patients.

The project's objective is to carry out prospectively, in France, for one year, a descriptive registry study in the management of patients with borderline or locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and to collect both the patient's demographic characteristics, but also the therapeutic regimens applied, the types of surgeries performed and the outcome of the patients after surgery, and at three months of follow up (preoperative data, complications's post surgery, quality of the resection, etc.)

This phase II trial studies how well selumetinib sulfate works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer with Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) G12R mutations that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or other places in the body. Selumetinib sulfate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body, has come back, or cannot be removed by surgery. Nutrients found in food and dietary supplements, such as ascorbic acid, may improve the tolerability of chemotherapy regimens. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer.

This pilot phase IIb trial studies how well pembrolizumab and CXCR4 antagonist BL-8040 work in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. CXCR4 antagonist BL-8040 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and CXCR4 antagonist BL-8040 may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer.

This is a dose escalation trial to evaluate the safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) delivered in 3 fractions for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) who have received induction chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel).

The aim of this phase II study is to assess the efficacy and safety of sequentially integrated treatment of FOLFIRINOX or Gemcitabine-Abraxane and SBRT in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer.
