A multi-institutional, single arm pilot study of antibiotics and pembrolizumab for the treatment of surgically resectable pancreatic cancer. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the change in immune activation in pancreatic tumor tissue following treatment with antibiotics and pembrolizumab.
Pancreatic cancer is difficult to treat, and even in a situation where an operation can be performed to remove the cancer, the disease can unfortunately come back soon afterwards. When pancreatic cancer is more advanced, the outcomes are even less positive. Recently, a large international study showed that combining a chemotherapy drug that is standard for treating pancreatic cancer, called gemcitabine with a new chemotherapy drug called Abraxane was more effective than gemcitabine alone for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether this combination of gemcitabine and Abraxane can shrink a pancreatic cancer that is not thought to be operable enough to enable it to be removed by surgery. It is hoped that in this way, the treatment may improve the outcome. In addition, in this study we would like to analyse the appearances of the tumour using imaging, and collect blood and tumour samples to try to confirm laboratory research that has been carried out with this treatment.
This is a multipart, open-label, multi-center dose escalation, dose expansion phase I clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and preliminary efficacy of MEM-288 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Eligible subjects must have a tumor lesion(s) which is accessible for injection.
The dose escalation phase (Part 1A – advanced solid tumors) has completed and is closed to enrollment. This phase evaluated multiple doses of MEM-288 dosed via intratumoral injection once every 3 weeks to assess safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and to determine the MTD.
The dose expansion phase has multiple parts for advanced NSCLC. Part 1B has completed after evaluation of MEM-288 dosed via intratumoral injection in combination with standard of care nivolumab dosed via intravenous injection.
In a separate dose expansion arm (Part 1C) that is open for enrollment, patients with advanced NSCLC will be randomized to receive either an initial priming dose of MEM-288 injected into an accessible lesion (s) alone (Day 1) followed by MEM-288 in combination with standard of care docetaxel every 3 weeks up to 6 doses or MEM-288 injected into an accessible lesion(s) in combination with standard of care docetaxel therapy Day 1 and every 3 weeks up to 6 doses.
The study rationale is that the oncolytic effect of MEM-288 combined with the presence of CD40L and type 1 IFN in injected tumors will provide a strong signal for DC-mediated T cell activation leading to generation of systemic anti-tumor T cell responses with broad specificity akin to what is observed in the abscopal effect.
1. Imaging findings (including CT and MRI images) of both well-differentiated G3 PNET and poorly differentiated PNET were studied;
2. The CT imaging findings of G3 stage PNET and pancreatic cancer were compared to establish a Logistic regression diagnostic model, and the survival analysis of the two was compared.
3. Cox regression was used to study the risk factors for survival prognosis of well-differentiated and poorly differentiated PNET based on CT image features
This trial will include 2 portions (phase 1 and phase 2).
The first portion will be a Phase I, open label, dose escalation study to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of XB2001 as measured by Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT), in combination with ONIVYDE + LV + 5-FU chemotherapy regimen in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and to determine the recommended dose for the subsequent Phase 2 study.
The phase 2 portion will be implemented with the maximum established tolerated dose (MTD) of XB2001. The target enrollment in the phase 2 portion is 60 patients which will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to XB2001 plus ONIVYDE + LV + 5-FU (Arm 1) or placebo plus ONIVYDE + LV + 5-FU (Arm 2).
CI-1040 is an experimental drug that is being tested in patients who have advanced colorectal and lung cancer who failed no more than one prior chemotherapy regimen, breast cancer who have failed no more than 2 prior regimens and in patients with pancreatic cancer who have received no prior chemotherapy. CI-1040 is taken orally twice daily with meals. Patients are required to have blood tests periodically while receiving treatment and will be monitored closely throughout the trial for possible side effects and for response.
Study objective: The purpose of this study is to establish a prospective follow-up cohort of high-risk groups of pancreatic cancer, screen early pancreatic cancer through EUS and other means according to the existing clinical process, and evaluate each risk factors. And to prospectively collect biological samples to find molecular markers for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
Study design: This is a real world, multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of temozolomide and pazopanib hydrochloride when given together and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor growth. Giving temozolomide together with pazopanib hydrochloride may be an effective treatment for patients with PNET.
RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, 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 bortezomib together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with cetuximab in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
Patients with metastatic, locally advanced, or unresectable pancreatic ductal carcinomas (PDA) who have failed prior chemotherapy with gemcitabine regimens have an extremely poor prognosis with progression-free survival of around 13 weeks and median overall survival of approximately 20 weeks after second line chemotherapy. Recent studies suggest that albumin may be preferentially concentrated in pancreatic cancers that appear to be starved for this protein. Thus, any molecule attached to albumin would also collect inside the tumor. Based on its postulated mechanism of action, INNO-206 may improve the activity of doxorubicin without increasing its toxicity, as has been demonstrated in animal studies, and induce enhanced anti-tumor efficacy.
