Metastatic pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis, with approximately one-third of patients experiencing poor quality of life at six months.

ARACOMPLEX® is a food supplement that contains maca extract, vitamin complexes and ions, and this nutritional contribution seems to favor the improvement of the patient's quality of life. To verify this statement, this experimental study is carried out in patients with locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if traditional pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) combined with TRIANGLE (extended PD surgery) can increase disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with pancreatic head cancers compared to traditional minimally invasive PD. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does extended PD surgery increase disease-free survival (DFS)?
* Does extended PD surgery could improve postoperative and long-term quality of life for patients? Researchers will compare extended PD surgery to traditional PD surgery to see if extended PD surgery could extend the survival time of patients.

Participants will:

* Accept traditional minimally invasive PD surgery or minimally invasive PD combined with TRIANGLE surgery.
* Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests.
* Keep a diary of their symptoms.

This single arm study will evaluate whether Xermelo (telotristat ethyl) associated weight gain is affects lean body mass, dietary intake, and physical and cognitive functioning among neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients with a history of carcinoid syndrome.

The goal of this research is to use chromatin immunoprecipitation, a method used to study protein-DNA interaction, as a tool to diagnose and prognose pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in human samples.

This is a Non-Human Subject Research study. All participants are de-identified.

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 SoC chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a 6-month pilot randomized trial to determine the feasibility and acceptability of theory-based mobile weight loss interventions for survivors of adolescent and young adult cancer (AYAs). The interventions use a mobile smartphone application, previously developed for individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes and adapted for AYAs, that integrates weight and physical activity from digital devices with simplified dietary monitoring in a behavioral weight loss program.

The investigators will evaluate the analgesic efficacy of radiofrequency splanchnic nerve denervation versus neurolytic retrocrural celiac denervation for patients with abdominal pain due to cancer pancreas

Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel is a standard regimen (NCCN, Category 1) for patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, further improvement in treatment is needed. Increasingly, the nature of the immune infiltrate in PDAC appears to be tumor promoting. In preclinical studies, ibrutinib treatment, presumably by reprogramming B cells, results in increased CD8+ T cells to assist in tumor control. Preclinical studies of ibrutinib plus gemcitabine show superior antitumor effects compared to gemcitabine alone in both orthotopic murine pancreatic cancer cell line grafts and in genetically engineered mouse models. Thus, the investigators propose a clinical trial of ibrutinib plus the standard gemcitabine based regimen of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, evaluating safety, then efficacy and including correlative studies.

This clinical trial will evaluate the safety and activity of mutant KRAS G12V-specific TCR transduced T cell therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer patients who express the KRAS G12V mutation and HLA-A*11:01 allele. The theoretical basis of this study is that mutant KRAS antigen-specific TCR transduced autologous Tcells will target and kill HLA-matched mutant KRAS cancer cells but not normal cells.

This phase Ib/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of OH2 in patients with locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer who have failed first-line standard treatment.

OH2 is an oncolytic virus developed upon genetic modifications of the herpes simplex virus type 2 strain HG52, allowing the virus to selectively replicate in tumors. Meanwhile, the delivery of the gene encoding human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) may induce a more potent antitumor immune response.
