RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with cancer and healthy participants to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.
PURPOSE: This study is collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with pancreatic cancer and healthy participants.
The study objectives are to find out: 1) palliative chemotherapy patterns and prognosis in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer in Korea's real clinical settings, and 2) reasons adopted by clinicians in choosing therapeutic drugs.
Although FOLFIRINOX regimen was recently presented to be effective as adjuvant chemotherapy for resectable pancreatic cancer in selected patients who have good physical condition, there is still insufficient evidence on this regimen in treating resectable pancreatic cancer patients in China. Since for many tumors, different races may show different responses to the same regimen, we design this open phase Ⅱ study to evaluate the the efficacy and safety of mFOLFIRINOX as adjuvant chemotherapy for resectable pancreatic cancer in China.
Specifically, in this project, the objective will be developped a model to capture imaging-based tumor heterogeneity with multiscale radiomics approach by obtaining the mirror tumor image at in vivo MRI, ex vivo MRI at histology. This imaging model giving a perfect virtual histology tumor representation will be secondary implemented on routine in vivo clinical MRI for early cancer detection and treatment monitoring. Successful completion of this proposal will lead to a comprehensive non invasive characterisation of pancreatic cancer and will be a game changer in patient management.
This study investigates how often abnormal findings from routine magnetic resonance imaging occur in people with genetic mutations in BReast CAncer gene. (BRCA), ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene (ATM), or PALB2 screened for pancreatic cancer. This study may lead to a greater understanding of cancer and potentially, improvements in cancer screening and treatment.
Objectives
* Primary: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of FG-3019 in combination with gemcitabine and erlotinib
* Secondary: To evaluate the efficacy and pharmacokinetics of FG-3019 in combination with gemcitabine and erlotinib
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, immunogenicity, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of AZD4360 in adult participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours selected for expression of CLDN18.2.
RATIONALE: Gathering information from patients who received treatment for metastatic cancer while participating in a phase II or phase III randomized clinical trial and from patients receiving standard treatment off-trial may help doctors learn more about the psychological and emotional results of being in a clinical trial.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is comparing the psychological and emotional impact of participating in a randomized clinical trial with the impact of standard treatment in patients with metastatic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find out how effective and safe glipizide is for lowering blood sugar in people with pancreatic cancer.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as ganitumab, 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 cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Specialized radiation therapy, such as 3-dimensional conformal 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.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of ganitumab when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride followed by radiation therapy, ganitumab, capecitabine, and maintenance therapy in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the pancreas.
