This is a first-in-human, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of pegilodecakin in participants with advanced solid tumors, dosed daily subcutaneously as a monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy or immunotherapy.

Trial Assessing Roux-en-Y Anastomosis of the Pancreatic Stump to Prevent Pancreatic Fistula Following Distal Pancreatectomy

The objective is to clarify Roux-en-Y anastomosis of the pancreatic stump decreases pancreatic fistula following distal pancreatectomy, compared with stapling closure of the pancreatic stump.

SOM 230 and Gemcitabine in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the study drug SOM 230 in addition to standard therapy of gemcitabine can shrink or slow the growth of pancreatic cancer. The safety and tolerability of different doses of SOM 230 will also be studied. The participants' physical state, changes in the size of the tumor, and laboratory findings taken while on-study will help us (the study doctor and Moffitt Cancer Center) decide if SOM 230 is safe and effective.

Cemiplimab Plus Gemcitabine in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

This is a Phase 2 trial evaluating the combination of cemiplimab with the standard of care chemotherapy agent gemcitabine for the treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF) alterations who have already been treated with FOLFIRINOX (5-fluoruracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, oxaliplatin) or gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy.

Differentiation Benign and Malignant Pancreatic Lesions

The MVIT-MLKA model, with its complex architecture combining CNNs and Transformers, excels in image feature extraction and capturing long-range dependencies. This gives it strong adaptability and robustness in lesion detection and classification tasks. Compared to traditional machine learning methods and other deep learning models, MVIT-MLKA not only performs better in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity but also helps reduce inter-observer variability, enhancing diagnostic consistency among physicians.

Although the model showed slight fluctuations in performance on external datasets, it still outperforms other models overall and holds significant potential for clinical applications. With further optimization to improve its generalization capabilities, MVIT-MLKA could become a powerful tool for diagnosing benign and malignant lesions, providing more consistent and accurate support in clinical practice.

Acupuncture and Acupressure in Treating Patients With Moderate or Severe Pain Related to Stage III or Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer

RATIONALE: Acupuncture and acupressure may help relieve moderate or severe pain associated with stage III or stage IV pancreatic cancer.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of acupuncture and accupressure in treating patients who have moderate or severe pain associated with stage III or stage IV pancreatic cancer.

Study of XB002 in Subjects With Solid Tumors (JEWEL-101)

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation and expansion study evaluating the safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamics, and clinical antitumor activity of XB002 administered IV q3w alone and in combination with nivolumab or bevacizumab to subjects with advanced solid tumors.

A Phase I Dual Dose Escalation Study of Radiation and Nab-Paclitaxel in Patients With Unresectable and Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

The investigators hypothesize that intensification of local therapy will lead to improvements in local control and survival in patients with unresectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. We propose to do this by combining nab-paclitaxel concurrently with dose-escalated radiation therapy. In the first part of this phase I study (sub-trial 1), the nab-paclitaxel dose will be escalated while the radiation dose is held constant at a standardly accepted level. The use of this novel chemoradiotherapy regimen will take advantage of nab-paclitaxel's specific anti-tumor and anti-stromal properties, which may enhance the efficacy of radiation therapy, and thereby improve local control. After the MTD of nab-paclitaxel had been determined, a second arm in sub-trial 1 will evaluate the addition of paricalcitol to nab-paclitaxel concurrently with dose-escalated radiation therapy. In addition, after the MTD of the nab-paclitaxel is reached in sub-trial 1 arm A, in the second part of this study (sub-trial 2), we will administer nab-paclitaxel at the determined MTD concurrently with escalated doses of radiation. We will utilize IMRT or protons to safely deliver high doses of radiation while maximally sparing surrounding normal tissue. Patients will also preferentially have 2-3 fiducial markers placed in or around the tumor for daily localization. Chemotherapy before and/or after chemoradiotherapy may be given as per standard of care. Correlative tissue and serum biomarkers are an important, but optional, part of this study.

Histamine Dihydrochloride and Interleukin-2 in Primary Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

A key aspect of the trial is that functions of anti-neoplastic T cells and natural killer (NK) cells, may be inhibited by immunosuppressive signals from myeloid cells, in particular reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by several subsets of myeloid cells. In cancer, such immunosuppressive cells are commonly denoted myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which are immature monocytes and granulocytes that impede immune-mediated clearance of malignant cells by multiple mechanisms, including the formation of immunosuppressive ROS via myeloid cell NADPH oxidase (NOX2). The presence of MDSCs within or adjacent to tumor tissue is assumed to facilitate the growth and spread of tumors and may also dampen the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies. The underlying hypothesis for this clinical trial is the administration of HDC/IL-2 will reduce surgery-induced inflammation and reduce metastasis. A phase I/II open label, single-center study of the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of peri- and postoperative therapy with histamine dihydrochloride and low-dose interleukin-2 treatment in subjects with primary pancreatic cancer.To assess the frequency and extent of adverse events associated with low dose interleukin-2 and histamine dihydrochloride when used as perioperative therapy.To determine progression free survival and overall survival following surgery, and compare with matched historical controls from the Swedish Cancer Registry.

QUILT-3.039: NANT Pancreatic Cancer Vaccine: Combination Immunotherapy in Subjects With Pancreatic Cancer Who Have Progressed on or After Standard-of-care Therapy

This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with pancreatic cancer who have progressed on or after previous Standard of Care first line therapy and chemotherapy.
