Patients with Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome suffer from ulcers of the upper gastrointestinal tract, higher than normal levels of gastric acid, and tumors of the pancreas known as non-beta islet cell tumors. Patients with Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome require continuous control of their gastric acid secretion. If gastric acid levels are permitted to rise higher than normal, patients may develop severe ulcers and other complications.
This study will attempt to determine the effectiveness of Omeprazole (Prilosec) in the treatment of patients with Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. Omeprazole is a drug that functions to decrease the amount of gastric acid secreted.
Patients for this study will be selected based on a previous diagnosis of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome and/or idiopathic (unknown cause) high levels of gastric acid secretion. The patients will undergo an evaluation including history and physical examination as well as necessary laboratory tests. The proper dose of Omeprazole will then be determined in each patient . The proper dose of Omeprazole is considered the minimum amount of omeprazole required to lower gastric acid to a safe level.
Every year patients participating in this study will undergo a physical examination and history. They will be questioned about symptoms associated with Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. Gastric acid levels will be taken and evaluated and patients will undergo an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
The effectiveness of the treatment will be measured by a clinical history to determine the control of symptoms due to high levels of gastric acid secretion.
VG161 is a recombinant human-IL12/15/PDL1B oncolytic HSV-1 Injectable. This is a multicenter, open, single-arm design clinical trial coducted in HSV-seropositive subjects with advanced pancreatic cancer to determine the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of VG161 combined with PD-1 inhibitor (Nivolumab Injection).
Pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) is a precursor to invasive pancreatic adenocarcinoma which occurs almost exclusively in females in their 5th-7th decade. Currently the only option for MCN treatment and prevention of invasive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is oncologic resection. The clinical features of pancreatic MCN support the influence of sex hormones in the pathogenesis of the disease. Anti-hormonal therapy may therefore constitute an effective approach to treatment. Preliminary analyses from preclinical studies suggest that tamoxifen inhibits the spread and normal life cycle in MCN epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Investigators hypothesize that in humans, treatment with tamoxifen will lead to cyst regression or stabilization and may spare or delay the need for resection. Up to 15 participants not undergoing immediate resection will be enrolled and take tamoxifen orally for up to 24 weeks. The study will assess the feasibility of tamoxifen as a treatment for pancreatic MCN.
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.
Observational study that will be collecting clinical and molecular health information from cancer patients who have received comprehensive genomic profiling and meet the specific eligibility criteria outlined for each cohort with the goal of conducting research to advance cancer care and create a dataset that furthers cancer research.
The purpose of this research study to find out if the drug trametinib in combination with ruxolitinib is safe, tolerable and has beneficial effects in people who has certain type of cancers including the type that you have. Patients with RAS mutant colorectal cancer and pancreatic adenocarcinoma are invited to participate in this study. This is the first time that both trametinib and ruxolitinib are studied in combination. Trametinib is marketed in several countries with the brand name Mekinist® for the treatment of melanoma (a type of skin cancer). Trametinib has been studied extensively in cancer and has been tested in many patients. Ruxolitinib is an oral inhibitor of JAK1 and JAK2 tyrosine kinases and is approved for treatment of adult polycythemia vera and myelofibrosis. Ruxolitinib has been studied extensively in many patients.
This study is a two stage study consisting of a dose escalation phase Ib and a phase II study which include subjects with previously-treated, advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of APG1387 in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine will be evaluated in the dose escalation phase Ib. Safety and efficacy of APG1387 plus gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel will be evaluated in phase II.
The trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of MUC-1/WT-1 peptide and/or tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cell Immunotherapy for the patients with pancreatic cancer
The study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of HRS-4642 combined with adebelimab in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Importance: Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is a poor prognosis pathologic feature in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. Neoadjuvant therapy may bring survival benefits to these patients.
Objective: To construct a preoperative model which could predict LVI in PDAC patients and further validate it in other cohorts.
Design, Setting, and Participants: Patients from 3 three tertiary hospitals were included in this study. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were conducted to define independent prediction factors of LVI. A nomogram was constructed based on the result of multivariate analysis.The predictive value of the model was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the maximum Youden index of the ROC curve was defined as the cut-off point. The calibration plot was utilized to assess the concordance of the model. The decision curve analyses (DCA) were applied to estimate the clinical benefit of using this model to predict LVI.
