The aim of this study was to assess the risk and complications after preoperative drainage of biliary obstruction in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy.
A retrospective cohort study of all patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy from January 1st, 2015 to September 30th, 2021. Patients who had preoperative bile duct drainage were compared to patients without intervention. Type of interventions, complications and outcome after surgery were compared using univariate and multivariate analysis.
This was a study of INCB054329 given to patients with advanced malignancies that were conducted in three treatment groups. Each treatment group had a dose escalation (Part 1) and a dose expansion (Part 3), two of the treatment groups also had an intra-patient dose titration (Part 2).
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States and is associated with a poor prognosis. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is approximately 5 to 8 months. At present, successful surgical resection is the only curative therapy that can improve long-term survival. However, it can be achieved only when a tumor is detected at an early stage. Unfortunately, due to non-specific symptoms associated with pancreatic cancer, it is commonly detected in the later stages of the disease.
The investigators hypothesized that pancreatic cancer could be detected by measuring the changes in the early increase in blood supply (EIBS) found in the surrounding normal-appearing duodenal tissue. The investigators tested a device called Four-dimensional Elastic Light-Scattering Fingerprinting (4D-ELF). The device used in this study is considered investigational, which means it has either not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for routine clinical use or for the use described in this study. However the FDA allowed the use of this device in this research study.
A prospective clinical study evaluating quality of life (QoL) in pancreatic cancer patients treated with intraoperative radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
The purposes of this study are to:
* Evaluate the safety and toxicity of tolfenamic acid when used with gemcitabine and radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
* Determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of tolfenamic acid when used with gemcitabine and radiation in pancreatic cancer.
* Characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of tolfenamic acid when used with gemcitabine and radiation.
* Assess the anti-tumor response to tolfenamic acid when used with gemcitabine and radiation in patients with advanced pancreatic malignancies.
Comparison Study between 19 gauge EUS FNA BNX Needle vs. 22 gauge EUS FNA BNX Needle in Pancreatic Fiducial Placement To Treat Pancreatic Cancer
NUV-868-01 is a first-in human, open- label, Phase 1/2 dose escalation and expansion study in patients with advanced solid tumors. The Phase 1 and 1b portions include patients with advanced solid tumors and are designed to determine the safety and the dose(s) of NUV-868 to be used as monotherapy and in combination with olaparib or enzalutamide for the Phase 2 portion. In Phase 2, NUV-868 in combination with olaparib or enzalutamide will be given to determine the safety and efficacy of these study treatments. One cohort of patients (with enzalutamide-naïve metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer) will be randomized to receive either NUV-868 monotherapy, enzalutamide monotherapy, or the combination of NUV-868 + enzalutamide. Patients will self-administer NUV-868 orally daily in 28-day cycles as monotherapy in Phases 1 and 2. In Phases 1b and 2, patients will self-administer NUV-868 orally daily in 28-day cycles in combination with olaparib or enzalutamide daily at standard prescribed doses (Phase 1b) or at the recommended Phase 2 combination dose (RP2cD) that is determined in Phase 1b. Patients will be treated until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.
The proposal aims at determining whether liquid biopsy approaches are valid in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Step1 will test 3 CTC isolation methods and analyse by flow cytometry the presence of onco-exosomes in the culture media of pancreatic cell lines. Step 2 will examine the diagnostic accuracy of these blood tumor elements for the diagnosis of cancer of patients with PDAC suspicion or recent diagnosis and their value for disease monitoring.
The purpose of this study is to assess surgical conversion rate and the immediate and long-term outcomes to patients who receive hypofractionated radiotherapy and AG combined with camrelizumab immunotherapy of Borderline Resectable/locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Neodajuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine / cisplatin is applied to patients with resectable cancer of pancreatic head.
