A randomised multicentre clinical phase IIIb trial for patients suffering from pancreatic adenocarcinoma receiving defined second or higher line chemotherapy and additionally parenteral nutrition (study arm A) or best supportive nutritional care (study arm B).
RATIONALE: AZD0530 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving AZD0530 together with gemcitabine may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AZD0530 when given together with gemcitabine and to see how well they work in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
This is a phase 1, first in human, dose escalation study for safety and feasibility of multi-dose dendritic cell (DC) therapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) including adenosquamous carcinoma administered after surgical resection of PDAC.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, combination study of cetuximab, gemcitabine, 5-FU, and external beam radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced, non-metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Patients with advanced colorectal cancer or pancreatic cancer who are receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy will be included. The research participants in this study will consume probiotics along with safety and anti-cancer agent side effect-related questionnaires, blood, and fecal sample collection for up to 12 weeks from the date of registration. The total duration of participation for research subjects is 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the presence of proteins in solid tumors which may lead to an immune response
The objective of this randomized cross-over trial is to evaluate whether Heparin based wet suction technique, compared with dry suction technique, shall present a higher quality tissue core by using quantitative macroscopic and microscopic scale.
The main purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness, safety, and anti-tumor activity (preventing growth of the tumor) of the drugs Niraparib with either Ipilimumab or Nivolumab on patients and their pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the study drug, dasatinib, given in combination with 5-Fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) will work against metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Dasatinib is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug for treating chronic myelogenous leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, however it is not currently approved for use in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
This is an exploratory, single center, open label, parallel-dose, and prospective study of BR55 contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) for characterization of solid pancreatic lesions in subjects with suspected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) using transabdominal US.
