The main objective of this study was to observe and evaluate the safety and tolerability of mRNA-0217/S001 vaccine encoding personalized tumor neoantigens alone/in combination with Pembrolizumab injection for the treatment of Advanced Pancreatic Cancer. The secondary objective was to observe the preliminary efficacy of mRNA-0217/S001 personalized tumor vaccine in the treatment of advanced solid tumors with neoantigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte responses, objective tumor response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) caused by mRNA-0217/S001 personalized tumor vaccine.
This study is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active placebo-controlled trial of AMG 479 or placebo in combination with gemcitabine as first-line therapy for locally advanced unresectable adenocarinoma of the pancreas. Approximately 150 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to AMG 479 and gemcitabine, or gemcitabine and placebo. Randomization will be stratified by ECOG (0 or 1).
Gemcitabine will be given on days 1, 8, and 15, followed by AMG 479 on days 1 and 15 of every 28 day cycle. Treatment will continue until radiographic disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or start of a new anti-cancer therapy.
This randomized phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of monoclonal antibody therapy when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and erlotinib hydrochloride and to see how well they work compared with giving gemcitabine hydrochloride and erlotinib hydrochloride alone as first-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies 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. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride and gemcitabine hydrochloride together with monoclonal antibody therapy may kill more tumor cells.
The aim of the study was to assess the clinical effect of immunomodulating enteral nutrition in patients undergoing resection for gastrointestinal cancer. 196 subjects were randomly assigned into two study groups: standard and immunostimulating. The study failed to demonstrate any clear advantage of routine postoperative immunonutrition in patients undergoing elective upper gastrointestinal surgery
In view of the existence of malignant ascites in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, we put forward the heat abdominal cavity perfusion chemotherapy combined albumin paclitaxel and gemcitabine compared with albumin paclitaxel and gemcitabine prospective clinical study, to assess abdominal albumin hot perfusion chemotherapy combined control of ascites and taxol in improving patients' quality of life, survival, exploring the feasibility of celiac hot perfusion chemotherapy combined albumin paclitaxel and side effects.
The purpose of this study is to isolate and analyze exosomes, which are tiny carriers of important proteins and nucleic acids that serve as messenger systems in the blood and tissue. Blood and tissue from patients with pancreatic cancer will be compared with blood and tissue from patients with noncancerous pancreatic disease. Including patients without cancer will allow the investigators to establish "normal" values, which currently do not exist. The investigators will then look to see whether exosome activity has a connection to disease recurrence and outcomes in patients. The results of this study will be the basis for future studies exploring this area.
This pilot clinical trial studies copper Cu 64 anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) monoclonal antibody M5A positron emission tomography (PET) in diagnosing patients with CEA positive cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as copper Cu 64 anti-CEA monoclonal antibody M5A PET, may help find and diagnose CEA positive cancer that may not be detected by standard diagnostic methods.
This study compares the effect of acupuncture and placebo acupuncture on advanced pancreatic cancer pain and then investigates its potential mechanism of peripheral blood.
The disruption of the pancreatic duct seems to be a major cause pseudocyst formation and persistence in patients suffering from acute/chronic pancreatitis. No prospective randomized studies have been conducted on the influence of pancreatic duct stenting for the patients' benefits and recurrence rates. The aim fo this study is therefore to evaluate prospectively in a randomized, controlled fashion in patients wit pancreatic pseudocysts, wether pancreatic duct stenting of a disrupted pancreatic duct is beneficial in terms of quicker clinical recovery and avoidance of recurrence of pancreatic pseudocysts.
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) is a solid cancer with a very poor prognosis with overall survival, all stages combined, not exceeding 5% at 5 years. The incidence and number of deaths caused by this type of tumor have been steadily increasing for two decades. In the absence of therapeutic advances, PA will be one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in 2030.
In recent years, researchers and clinicians have now attempted to characterize and understand PA as a whole, through the various stages of its carcinogenesis and the analysis of its microenvironment. Indeed, the stroma of PA can represent up to 80% of the tumor mass and mainly composed of activated fibroblasts (CAF), endothelial and immune cells and extracellular matrix (collagen and fibronectin). However, the characterization of cell subtypes of this stroma is under study, as the pro or anti-tumor role of each cell subtype is not yet well understood.
New technologies such as the CyTOF that has just been acquired by the ICM and the IRCM will make it possible to study these problems and to examine the cellular subpopulations that make up the tumor. On the other hand, active research is conducted to disrupt the dialogue between the tumor cells and those of the microenvironment.
The search for innovative treatments in pancreatic adenocarcinoma requires the use of models of relevant preclinical studies. The most widely used models are based on cell lines of human origin used in vitro or in vivo after xenograft in immunodeficient mice. In particular, studies with pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PDX) derived tumors of patients reported that the response rate of PDX to certain drugs (gemcitabine, erlotinib …) used clinically was similar to the response rates of patients enrolled in clinical studies. of these agents as monotherapy. A number of studies have evaluated the efficacy of targeted anti-tumor, anti-angiogenic or anti-stroma therapies from these PDTX models. Personalized medicine strategies can be envisioned as well as the study of new biomarkers, drugs or molecular mechanisms involved in therapeutic resistance. For several years, the investigators have been developing AP PTDX in the INSERM 1194 unit.
The investigators propose to continue the development of this collection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma PDTX prospectively and to carry out their histological, molecular and mutational characterization.
