Kinetics of Microparticles Under Chemotherapy in Patients With Gastric or Pancreatic Cancer

Microparticles have recently emerged as a thrombotic risk marker with a potential role in determining which patients are at greatest risk for developing thrombosis. Available data show an increase in the level of microparticles in cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy for solid tumors with a possible link to their thrombogenic state.

Our study focuses on the kinetics of microparticles under chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic or gastric cancer by serial measurements of microparticles procoagulant activity.

Detailed Description:

The impact of chemotherapy on microparticles expression will be assessed by measuring their procoagulant activity on blood samples taken during the course of chemotherapy. The thrombotic risk will be evaluated by the score of Khorana in parallel. Microparticles expression in patients with thrombosis will be compared to that in other patients.

Prospective Study FNB, Is It Time To Abandon Cytological Assessment

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive procedure used by gastroenterologists to examine pancreatic masses and lesions. A fine needle is traversed through an endoscope and used to acquire tissue samples, which are then sent for pathology. The standard approach for diagnosing solid pancreatic lesions has been fine needle aspiration (FNA) (Han et al. 2016). However, the use of FNA comes with its limitations, some of which include multiple needle passes to acquire fluid, the need for on-site cytologists, and decreased diagnostic yield. Fine needle biopsy (FNB) is the latest approach being employed by endosonographers in lieu of FNA. FNB confers several advantages over FNB. First, FNB requires fewer needle passes than FNA to acquire tissue sample for immunohistochemical staining. In addition, FNB provides better tissues samples, greater sensitivity of the tissue core, and thus, improved diagnostic yields (Tian et al. 2018). Finally, FNB is more cost-effective than FNA and relies on pathologists, instead of on-site cytologists, and preserves the tissue core (Tian et al. 2018). The objective of this study is to establish a database of samples placed in formalin for patients who will undergo a fine-needle biopsy (FNB) for pathological evaluation without rapid on site cytological assessment.

A Bioequivalence Study Between the Proposed and Current Talazoparib Capsule Formulation and Food Effect Study for the Proposed Talazoparib Capsule Formulation in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

This will be a Phase 1, open label, 2-sequence, crossover study to establish the BE of the current commercial formulation (Generation 3.1 talazoparib capsules) to the proposed talazoparib liquid-filled soft gelatin capsule (soft gel capsule) formulation after multiple dosing under fasting conditions in participants with advanced solid tumors. In addition, the effect of food on the PK of the proposed talazoparib soft gel capsule formulation will be evaluated in fixed sequence after the 2 BE assessment periods.

Clinical Comparative Study of Systematic Therapy Combined With MWA and Systematic Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic carcinoma (PC) is the deadliest malignant tumors worldwide. Surgical resection is one of the most effective methods for the treatment of PC, but the resectable rate is less than 20% among the patients with PCs, and the recurrent and metastatic rate is more than 80% in two years after resection. Ablation has been confirmed one of the most effective methods for solid tumors by recent twenty years and proven to be a radical treatment similar to the surgical resection for the clinical applications of hepatic and renal tumors at early clinical staging in the internationally guidelines. The purpose is to explore the efficacy and safety of microwave ablation in the treatment of pancreatic cancer in combination with systematic therapy.

Early Access Program Providing HER2/HER3 Bispecific Antibody, MCLA-128, for a Patient With Advanced NRG1-Fusion Positive Solid Tumor

Merus is providing single patient/named access to the HER2/HER3 bispecific antibody, MCLA-128, to patients with advanced NRG1-fusion positive solid tumor under this early access program who are ineligible for an ongoing MCLA-128 clinical trial or have other considerations that prevent access to MCLA-128 through an existing clinical trial. Participating sites will be added as they apply for and are approved for the EAP. A medical doctor must decide whether the potential benefit outweighs the risk of receiving an investigational therapy based on the individual's medical history and program eligibility criteria.

A Multi-Center, Open-Label Study of Surufatinib (HMPL-012) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Primary Objective Dose Escalation:

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of surufatinib in patients with advanced solid tumors and to determine the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) or recommended phase II dose (RP2D).

Primary Objective Dose Expansion:

To evaluate the anticancer activity of surufatinib in patients with advanced Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC), patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs), patients with locally advanced, unresectable, metastatic extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (EP-NETs), and patients with soft tissue sarcomas (STS) treated at a dose of 300 mg QD.

Secondary Objective:

To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of multiple dose surufatinib in patients with advanced solid tumors and to evaluate the anti cancer activity of surufatinib in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Neoadjuvant Accelerated Short Course Radiation Therapy With Proton Beam and Capecitabine for Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

A standard treatment for pancreatic cancer is radiation therapy plus chemotherapy after surgery. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are commonly given for up to six weeks. Previous research has suggested that giving the radiation and chemotherapy for a shorter amount of time (accelerated schedule) before surgery may be better tolerated. In this research study, different schedules of proton radiation therapy will be used. Each schedule will give about the same total dose of radiation. However, the total dose will be spread out over different time periods and different numbers of sessions. The purpose is to find the shortest schedule of radiation therapy that can be given without unacceptable side effects. Proton beam radiation is being used because of its unique ability to deposit its energy directly in the tumor, resulting in less radiation to normal tissue. A new type of PET scan is also being studied to see if it can help predict the response to pre-surgery treatment.

Pancreatic Cancer & Surgical Resection

Primary Objective(s) To collect clinical data related to the treatment outcomes of Pancreatic IRE in order to develop an evidence base such that physicians can provide the best possible care to patients with pancreatic cancer requiring surgical intervention.

Secondary Objective(s) To collect data on adverse events and complications related to IRE treatment. The AHPBA (Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association) will be responsible for data collection and will periodically audit the data for quality assurance purposes. The AHPBA will review outcomes reported by each participating Research Institution and if outcomes are in the lower percentile, the investigators will be offered support to analyze the reasons for the suboptimal outcomes and may seek support to improve outcomes. The participating Research Institutions will receive a certificate annually that acknowledges their participation in the Research Project.
