Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Neoplasms"

The objective of the study is to prospectively assess the use and treatment outcomes of nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in the Netherlands. Additional objectives are to monitor the incidence and reversibility of neuropathy during treatment, to assess the patient's Quality of life when treated with nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine and to evaluate the use of resources that come with treating metastatic pancreatic cancer.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of very low dose decitabine combinate with gemcitabine in the first-line treatment of locally advanced, unresectable and metastatic pancreatic cancer.

This is an open label, multi-center, and randomized phase II trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants and subcutaneous dalteparin in patients with acute venous thromboembolism and upper gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, or pancreatic cancer, based on a group sequential design. Enrolled patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Patients will be stratified by performance status, type of cancer, chemotherapy and medical centers.

This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with pancreatic cancer who have progressed on or after previous Standard of Care first line therapy and chemotherapy.

To assess the primary effects and safety of Anlotinib in patients with Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor G3.

This is multicentre, open-label, randomized, phase II trial in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive gemcitabine/cisplatin in combination with Sorafenib (arm A) or gemcitabine/cisplatin alone (arm B), as first-line chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to test a combination-therapy of oxaliplatin and docetaxel in patients with metastatic or locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas after failure of a palliative first line therapy.

This crossover trial is performed in advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer not previously exposed to chemotherapy. The study compares a standard arm with gemcitabine plus erlotinib to an experimental arm with capecitabine plus erlotinib. It is the first trial of its kind to incorporate second-line treatment into the study design. Patient who fail on first-line therapy are switched to the comparator chemotherapy without erlotinib. The trial therefore not only compares two different regimens of first-line treatment, it also compares two sequential treatment strategies.

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy in different ways and giving it together with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving internal radiation therapy and external radiation therapy together with fluorouracil works in treating patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent pancreatic cancer and liver metastases that cannot be removed by surgery.

The objectives of this multi-center, randomized, controlled trial are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PANVAC-VF in combination with Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) versus best supportive care or palliative chemotherapy.
