This is an observational study to assess patient survival and clinical outcomes after the RenovoCath™ RC120 catheter is used to deliver chemotherapeutic agents to pancreatic tumors.
This study is being done to test the safety and effectiveness of combining ZN-c3 and Gemcitabine in participants with pancreatic cancer.
The names of the study drugs involved in this study are:
* ZN-c3 (a small molecule inhibitor of the WEE1 tyrosine kinase)
* Gemcitabine (a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor)
RATIONALE: Palonosetron hydrochloride may prevent nausea and vomiting caused by radiation therapy. It is not yet known whether palonosetron hydrochloride is more effective than a placebo in preventing nausea and vomiting.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of palonosetron hydrochloride and to see how well it works in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by radiation therapy in patients with primary abdominal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether S-1 is effective as 2nd line therapy in slowing tumor activity in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have previously received 1st line treatment with a gemcitabine regimen. The study is also looking at the safety of S-1.
This is a Phase II open study, not randomized with a neoadjuvant therapy,combination of Gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2/week) with Erlotinib (100mg/day) (3 cycles of 4 weeks), followed by gemcitabine (300 mg/m2/week) combined with Erlotinib (100mg/day) and radiotherapy (45 Gy / day fr180 cGy) (5 cycles of 1 week) in patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma to assess the percentage of R0 resections. They have planned a total of 21 visits.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the acceptance by patients with metastatic pancreas cancer of integrating palliative care with usual cancer treatment. Palliative care intervention will involve use of pancreas cancer-specific decision aides (iPC3)about prognosis, treatment choices, and advance care planning for patients facing a treatment decision as well as symptom assessments. We hypothesize that palliative care consultations with iPC3 will be accepted, symptoms can be diminished, information can be received in a way that improves choices, and that the quality of care can be improved.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of nab®-paclitaxel (ABI-007) plus gemcitabine in subjects with advanced pancreatic cancer who have cholestatic hyperbilirubinemia secondary to bile duct obstruction.
The purpose of this study is to assist with early and accurate diagnosis of cancer in pancreatic cysts based on the analysis of DNA obtained by endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration
Single compassionate use subject is an 83 year old woman with a history of lymph node positive breast cancer and recently diagnosed pancreatic cancer in May. With an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) of 2, it is felt that she cannot tolerate more aggressive chemotherapy. The investigators propose to administer FG-3019 on a compassionate pleas basis in combination with gemzar. The patient is currently being treated and is tolerating gemzar.
This study provides an early evaluation of an entirely new class of small molecule agents directed at disruption or elimination of tumor tolerance, a phenomenon now demonstrated to be involved in the growth of many solid tumors.
