Protocol PEN-221-001 is an open-label, multicenter Phase 1/2a study evaluating PEN-221 in patients with SSTR2 expressing advanced gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) or lung or thymus or other neuroendocrine tumors or small cell lung cancer or large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung.
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, open-label dose-escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and assess the DLT of JAB-3312. It is anticipated that approximately 24 subjects will be enrolled in the dose-escalation phase of the study. JAB-3312 will be administered orally once daily (QD) in 21-day treatment cycles.
1. To establish doctor-nurse-patient cooperative analgesic linkage program.
2. Evaluate the effect of doctor-nurse-patient cooperative analgesic linkage program on movement evoked pain after laparotomy for patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease through quasi-experimental study.
Background:
* Malignant mesothelioma is a form of cancer that develops on the protective lining that covers the body's internal organs. It most often occurs on the lining of the lungs and chest wall or the lining of the abdomen. There is no known cure for malignant mesothelioma, so researchers are searching for new ways to treat it.
* Mesothelin is a protein that is found in mesothelioma and other types of cancer cells. An experimental cancer drug called SS1P is designed to attack cells that have mesothelin while leaving healthy cells alone. Researchers want to test how effective SS1P is when it is given with pentostatin and cyclophosphamide. These drugs help suppress the immune system and may make the SS1P more effective.
Objectives:
– To study the effectiveness of SS1P plus two drugs that suppress the immune system to treat malignant mesothelioma.
Eligibility:
– Individuals at least 18 years of age who have malignant mesothelioma in the chest or abdomen.
Design:
* Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and blood tests. They will also have imaging studies.
* The first treatment cycle will last 30 days. Up to three 21-day cycles of treatment will follow.
* In the first cycle, participants will have pentostatin on days 1, 5, and 9. They will have cyclophosphamide on days 1 through 12. They will have SS1P on days 10, 12, and 14.
* On the next three cycles, participants will have pentostatin on day 1.They will have cyclophosphamide on days 1 through 4. They will have SS1P on days 2, 4, and 6.
* Participants will have frequent blood tests and other studies. They will receive all four cycles of treatment as long as there are no severe side effects.
* Participants will have regular followup visits as directed by the study doctors.
This phase II trial studies how well dovitinib lactate works in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Dovitinib lactate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs that make cancer cells more sensitive to light to kill tumor cells. This may be effective treatment for cancer of the bile duct, gallbladder, or pancreas.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in treating patients who have cancer of the bile duct, gallbladder, or pancreas.
This is a dual arm, open label phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of the combination of durvalumab with CV301 in combination with maintenance chemotherapy for patients with metastatic colorectal or pancreatic cancer whose disease is stable on, or responding to 1st line therapy for metastatic disease. Patients with metastatic colorectal or pancreatic adenocarcinoma who still have an adequate performance status and normal hepatic and renal function will be eligible.
Anastomotic leakage of the pancreatojejunostomy is often discovered with considerable delay, causing severe peritonitis, hemorrhage due to erosion of vessels, sepsis, and death. Microdialysis catheters can detect focal inflammation and ischemia, and has a potential for early detection of anastomotic leakage. This observational study will examine if monitoring with microdialysis catheters can detect anastomotic leakage after pancreaticoduodenectomy earlier than current standard of care.
Part 1: This clinical study will first test the safety and initial effect on the tumour of PS101-mediated ACT when given in combination with standard of care chemotherapy in patients with liver metastases (initially those with any solid tumors and then further in patients just with colorectal cancer [CRC]) in order to identify the recommended dose and schedule of PS101-mediated ACT that can be taken forward for further testing.
Part 2: Based on the Part 1 results, another part in patients with liver metastases from CRC and pancreatic cancer (if indicated) may take place following a substantial protocol amendment.
This record will focus on Part 1 of the study only and will be updated if Part 2 occurs.
The long-time goal is to understand what decision-making process and patient characteristics factor into a patient deciding to stay with their initial physician versus seeking treatment with a second opinion.
