Traditionally, laparoscopy has been based on 2-dimensional (2D) imaging, which has represented a considerable challenge for those approaching this technique. Thus, 3-dimensional (3D) visualization technology for laparoscopy has been proposed, since the early 1990s, as a way to facilitate laparoscopic performance. However, early 3D laparoscopic technology was limited in terms of image quality, so that its use had not been implemented. More recently, industry has developed novel 3D systems where the imaging is similar to stereoscopic vision, in which the depth perception is achieved by different unique images received by each eye. Thus, more recent studies have suggested a possible advantage provided by these new 3D systems during laparoscopic performance. However, comparative assessments of new generation 3D vs 2D laparoscopy remain limited, especially in the hepatobiliary and pancreatic field.
To assess the benefits and harms of use of three dimensional systems versus two dimensional systems during laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.
SNB-101 is a novel nano-particle formulation of SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan(CPT-11). Study SNB101P01 is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation, phase 1 study of SNB 101 with its active ingredient SN-38, in participants with advanced solid tumors. Dose escalation will occur using a modified accelerated titration design (ATD).
All participants will receive SNB 101 in different cohorts. SNB 101 will be administered intravenously to participants on day 1 and day 15 of each 28 day treatment cycle until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawal of consent, whichever occurs first.
A Safety Review Committee will determine dose escalation, de-escalation, and modification and the MTD/RP2D based on DLTs and other safety information.
This is a phase 2 single-arm, open-label clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tarlatamab in patients with relapsed extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma (EPNEC) who have previously received platinum-based first-line chemotherapy. Participants will receive tarlatamab on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1), Day 8 (C1D8), and Day 15 (C1D15), followed by administration every two weeks thereafter. No placebo control is included in this study.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving gemcitabine and capecitabine together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well giving gemcitabine and capecitabine together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery.
This is an open-label, dose-exploration and expansion study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of IMM-1-104 when administered as monotherapy or in combination with approved agents in participants with RAS-mutated or RAS/MAPK activated advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The dose exploration will identify the candidate recommended Phase 2 candidate optimal dose of IMM-1-104 to further explore the anti-tumor activity of IMM-1-104 as monotherapy and in combination with approved agents in multiple Phase 2a proof-of-concept cohorts in malignancies of interest.
This clinical trial studies an imaging technique known as dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) in identifying the presence of pancreatic cancer. DCE MRI is a procedure that takes detailed pictures of functional and structural properties inside the body using magnetic field imaging. These images may better characterize pancreatic cancer in patients at high risk or in patients who may have undergone chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer.
In recent years total pancreatectomy is increasingly performed in selected patients due to the increasing use of preoperative chemotherapy, making more patients operable. After total pancreatectomy, all patients develop insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Glucose control in these patients is challenging due to the complete absence of both pancreatic insulin and glucagon secretion, and most patients report decreased quality of life due to fear of hypoglycemic events and the need for continuous glucose monitoring.
The CE marked bihormonal artificial pancreas (BIHAP) provides continuous fully automatic glucose monitoring and administration of insulin and glucagon using a self-learning algorithm. In a recent pilot study (APPEL5+, NL.8871) the BIHAP was being compared to current diabetes treatment in 10 patients after total pancreatectomy. This trial demonstrated that treatment with BIHAP was safe and improved time spent in euglycemia significantly during one week treatment (78.30%, [IQR 71.05%-82.61%] vs. 57.38% [IQR 52.38%-81.35%], p=0.03).
Now, larger randomized studies with a longer treatment period are necessary to confirm safety and efficacy of BIHAP for the treatment of diabetes in patients after total pancreatectomy, with sufficient attention for long-term glycemic control (HbA1c) and patient-reported outcomes.
The PANORAMA trial will evaluate the efficacy of a 3-month treatment with BIHAP in 40 patients after total pancreatectomy as compared to a 3-month treatment period with current diabetes care in a randomized cross-over trial. Patients will be randomized to start with the BIHAP (after a training period) or current diabetes care (i.e. insulin pen or pump). Hereafter, all patients will cross over.
This early phase I trial studies how well a genetic test called pharmacogenomics works in directing the optimal use of supportive care medications in patients with stage III-IV cancer. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes may affect the body's response to and interaction with some prescription medications. Genes, which are inherited from parents, carry information that determines things such as eye color and blood type. Genes can also influence how patients process and respond to medications. Depending on the genetic makeup, some medications may work faster or slower or produce more or fewer side effects. Pharmacogenomics testing may help doctors learn more about how patients break down and process specific medications based on their genes and improve the quality of life of cancer patients receiving clinical care.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immune response and preliminary anti-tumor activity of RO7515629 alone in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors expressing human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G).
The purpose of the protocol is to estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) rate in subjects diagnosed with PanNET, according to investigator assessment, at 24 months after treatment initiation with lanreotide 120 mg every 28 days.
