RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography (PET) using [18F]-labeled substance P antagonist receptor quantifier, may be effective in finding disease in patients with pancreatic cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well a PET scan using [18F]-labeled substance P antagonist receptor quantifier works in finding disease in patients with pancreatic cancer.
Primary End Point:
– To compare the overall survival (OS) using QYHJ Granules or Xeloda as the second therapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Secondary End Points:
* Compare clinical efficacy by other measures including PFS,tumor response,and changes in quality of life (QOL) between these two groups.
* Examine the feasibility and assess the side effects of treatment using QYHJ Granules in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
To determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of Gemcitabine plus Albumin-bound paclitaxel (ABI-007) in patients with advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This prospective cohort study is designed to investigate the diagnostic ability and prediction accuracy of pancreatic cancer by radiomics data and clinical data.
This study is an open-label, multicentre, Phase 1b trial designed to determine the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK, pharmacodynamics (PD) and proof-of-concept of OMO-103 in combination with the standard regimen gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who are treatment-naïve in the advanced disease setting.
The main purpose of this research is to verify the safety of CEA targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cells and to determine the proper dosage of CAR T cells infused.
In recent five years, the investigators have successfully developed different types of magnets and utilized in biliojejunostomy, concomitant biliojejunostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy during Whipple. This study is designed as a prospective study by utilization of the bar-like magnets for pancreaticojejunostomy.
This is a research study in 2 parts assessing the following parameters of the combination of the study drug called bosutinib, and a drug called capecitabine: the safety, how well the subject's body handles the study drug, and preliminary anti-tumor activity as treatment for different types of cancers in part 1, and breast cancer only in part 2.
In part 1, subjects will receive bosutinib and capecitabine daily at different dose levels of each drug in order to determine the highest tolerated dose of the combination study treatment. In part 2, subjects will receive bosutinib and capecitabine at this highest tolerated dose to see how well the study treatment works to treat breast cancer. In addition, genetic research testing (research analyses involving genes and gene products) will be performed on biological samples from subjects.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether nitrocamptothecin is more effective than gemcitabine for pancreatic cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of nitrocamptothecin with gemcitabine in treating patients who have unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Patients with resectable solid primary cancers and even limited number of metastases are potentially curable. However, most patients develop recurrences despite surgery. Also, early detection of lung cancer with low dose CT screening may cure patients at an early stage. Circulating and disseminated tumor cell (CTC/DTC) and circulating cell-free (cf) DNA isolation from the blood, urine and bone marrow will increase understanding of cancer spread and advance knowledge to develop individualized therapies and improve screening.
