RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as gemcitabine and oxaliplatin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving them in different ways may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether gemcitabine is more effective with or without oxaliplatin in treating pancreatic cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of gemcitabine with or without oxaliplatin in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
The aim of this study is to clarify the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX and nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer.
To observe the incidence of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression and the safety of Trilaciclib combined with mFOLFIRINOX in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer receiving first-line treatment.
In this study the investigators want to determine the activity and safety of concurrent interruption of the MAPK and PI3K pathways by EGFR and mTOR inhibition in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from gene-modified pancreatic cancer cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving vaccine therapy together with chemotherapy and radiation therapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving vaccine therapy together with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy works in treating patients with resected stage I or stage II adenocarcinoma (cancer) of the pancreas.
Recurrence of Pancreatic Cancer(PCa) is a multifactorial event. Based on the clinicopathological characteristics and imaging data of patients with PCa, the investigators used image processing and machine learning algorithms to build a more comprehensive and robust model, and added some unused features to explore its clinical application value.
A retrospective analysis of patients with PCa who underwent radical resection at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital (Hangzhou, China) from January 2013 to December 2020. The database was extracted from the preoperative demographics, blood markers, and surgical pathology information of patients undergoing radical PCa surgery in the investigators' hospital. The investigators used the PyRadiomics platform to extract image features.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, irinotecan hydrochloride, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ganitumab, 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 cancer-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) is more effective with or without ganitumab in treating patients with pancreatic cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the best dose of combination chemotherapy and ganitumab and how well combination chemotherapy with or without ganitumab works in treating patients with previously untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This study evaluates the utility of using cyst fluid glucose levels to diagnose mucinous pancreatic cysts during endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) procedures.
The purpose of this study is to understand the safety and estimate the efficacy of combining anti-cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) x anti-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) bispecific antibody fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells (EGFR FPBMC) for patients with relapsed and/or refractory pancreas cancer. Participants receive 8 weekly doses and then 8 more doses every 2 weeks of EGFR FPBMC by intravenous infusion.
RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of two different vaccines in treating patients who have cancer of the gastrointestinal tract.
