The Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network (MOHCCN) is a national network of cancer centres that pursue collaborative cancer research in precision medicine (an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that considers individual variability in DNA, environment and lifestyle) to accelerate the discovery of innovations and improve the health outcomes for cancer patients
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, fluorouracil, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective for pancreatic cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying gemcitabine, fluorouracil, cisplatin, and radiation therapy to see how well they work compared to gemcitabine alone in treating patients with nonmetastatic pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
This is a randomized trial to evaluate the optimal number of passes required during endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy for molecular profiling in pancreatic cancer
This study consists of a Phase 1b portion aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the safety profile of PF-03084014 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel followed by a Phase 2 portion to evaluate the efficacy of the triple combination in terms of overall survival in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma not previously treated with anticancer therapies.
Does Ketamine-Midazolam have a better efficacy and safety profile compared to Midazolam – Pethidine in Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)?
A dose escalation, safety study of local (intra-arterially) delivered gemcitabine to the pancreas using the RenovoCath R120 catheter to determine the maximum tolerated dose.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as trabectedin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well trabectedin works in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer after first-line chemotherapy.
The specific aims of this project are to create a registry, as well as a biospecimen bank for individuals with pancreatic disease (e.g. pancreatic adenocarcinoma, pancreatitis, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN), and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) or have been determined to be at high-risk for pancreatic cancer. Biospecimen can be defined as blood, urine, tissue, stool, or saliva samples. Therefore, no hypothesis is to be tested. The personal data derived from the registry, correlated with biological information derived from the biospecimens will allow for future investigative studies of pancreatic cancer etiology and tumor biology. The long-term goals of the study are to advance the knowledge of the etiology and epidemiology of pancreatic cancer. It is anticipated that the knowledge derived will ultimately lead to improvements in the diagnosis, prevention, detection,and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
This is a Phase II clinical trial assessing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of LTC004 in combination with MIL-97 ± chemotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This experiment is divided into two parts: the dose increasing stage (stage 1) and the dose expanding stage (stage 2). For those enrolled in the planned expansion phase, the dose should have passed the safety assessment during the dose escalation phase.
This is a Phase 1, multiple dose, ascending dose escalation study to define a MTD/RD and regimen of XmAb23104, to describe safety and tolerability, to assess PK and immunogenicity, and to preliminarily assess anti-tumor activity of XmAb23104 monotherapy and combination therapy with ipilimumab in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors.
