The Phase Ib/II study is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter trial designed to assess the efficacy and safety of Y101D in combination with Gemcitabine and Albumin Paclitaxel as first-line systemic treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer patients. The Phase Ib portion of the study aims to evaluate the safety of escalating doses of Y101D in combination with the standard regimen of Gemcitabine and Albumin Paclitaxel and determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). The Phase II portion of the study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this combination treatment in a small population of patients.
Phase 1 is an open-label, multi-center dose escalation/dose expansion study designed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) for the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of IMX-110. The RP2D will be evaluated in a further dose expansion Phase 2a study submitted.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-tumor activity of GTAEXS617-001 in participants with advanced solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safest dose of d-methadone that can be given, without causing severe side effects in most patients with chronic pain. Patients are being asked to participate in the Phase I portion of this study.
In the US, pancreas cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer related deaths. It was estimated to have taken 36,800 lives in 2010. Unfortunately, curing pancreatic cancer requires surgical removal. Surgical removal of the pancreas is associated with high morbidity and mortality, as well as high rates of complications. One way to aid surgeons in removing pancreatic tumors is by providing them with a good idea of where the tumor is located and what surrounding structures are involved. This currently happens through many different modalities of imaging; usually computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic ultrasound. Even with these forms of imaging (and sometimes others), surgeons will occasionally open a patient and find that the tumor cannot be removed due to its involvement with surrounding structures.
One way to avoid potentially unnecessary procedures or to help a surgeon navigate this delicate procedure would be to provide more detailed information about the tumor. Several of the techniques currently used to image the body have rapidly advanced over recent years. Typical advancements come through better resolution of the images or contrast to enhance desired parts of the images. Ultrasound has not seen such a two pronged advance. Ultrasound has seen substantial advances in resolution to enhance picture quality, but contrast has not been used clinically to assess pancreatic masses whereas it is for cardiologists to use contrast to look at potential defects in the heart.
The contrast that is used with ultrasound is different from that of CT scans. CT scanners use a dye that can be potentially hazardous. This dye can lead to serious kidney damage in some patients. Ultrasound contrast, on the other hand, is made of small micro bubbles filled with a harmless gas. Because of the way ultrasound works, these micro bubbles reflect the sound waves differently than the surrounding tissue and thus provide contrast between normal tissue and abnormal tissue. The contrast used in this study, Definity, and is the same contrast used by Cardiologists.
The CE-EUS will be used for research purposes only and will not be used for any clinical decision making. The surgeon will be blinded to the results of the research CE-EUS. The investigators will compare the research pre-operative contrast enhanced endoscopic ultrasounds images with already completed standard-of-care CT scans, the actual pancreatic involvement seen in surgery and the pathology reports.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate progression free survival in those participants assigned everolimus 10 mg/day plus Best Supportive Care versus those assigned to placebo plus Best Supportive Care in Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors of pancreatic origin.
This pilot clinical trial studies stereotactic radiosurgery and metformin hydrochloride in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that may be removed (borderline-resectable) or not removed by surgery. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Metformin hydrochloride, used for diabetes, may also kill cancer cells as demonstrated in laboratory studies. Giving stereotactic radiosurgery with metformin hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells.
Pancreatic fistula is one of the most serious complication after pancreatoduodenectomy. To reduce pancreatic fistula, many authors recommend different techniques in pancreatojejunostomy. The purpose of this study is to determine which is the best method in preventing pancreatic fistula by enforce pancreaticojejunostomy with tissue glue and to investigate its long term clinical outcomes.
To systematically collect and analyse real-world data on treatment patterns, clinical outcomes and toxicities among patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) undergoing systematic treatment in Austria
VG161 is a recombinant human-IL12/15/PDL1B oncolytic HSV-1 Injectable. This is a multicenter, open, single-arm design clinical trial coducted in HSV-seropositive subjects with advanced pancreatic cancer to determine the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of VG161 combined with PD-1 inhibitor (Nivolumab Injection).
