This purpose of this study is to determine the ability of an 18F-fluoro-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-DOPA) PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan to detect a focal lesion of hyperinsulinism and determine the location in patients with congenital hyperinsulinism, Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome and suspected insulinoma. Safety data will be collected.
RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as sargramostim may increase the number of immune cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells. Combining vaccine therapy, sargramostim, and interleukin-2 may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy, sargramostim, and interleukin-2 in treating patients who have advanced tumors.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility defined as overall tolerance and toxicity as well as relative dose-intensity and cumulative dose delivered, of an association ofgemcitabine, oxaliplatin and radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced and unresectable, but non-metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma or cholangiocarcinoma
This Phase 1 dose-escalation trial is to determine the safety, tolerability and recommended phase 2 dose of talazoparib in combination with belinostat in subjects with Metastatic Breast Cancer, Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer, and Metastatic Ovarian Cancer.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether a temporary increase in tidal volume can predict fluid responsiveness in patients receiving a low tidal volume ventilation in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries.
The hypothesis of this study is that a temporary increase in tidal volume from 6 to 8 ml/kg would improve the predictability of PVI in patients receiving low tidal volume ventilation in surgical procedures with large fluid shift as hepatobiliary and pancreatic procedures.
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy and specimen adequacy of two ultrasound biopsy needles. These are two existing FDA approved tissue biopsy regimens, with respect to diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to study an experimental drug called pembrolizumab or MK-3475 for use in combination with chemotherapy and radiation therapy for patients with resectable (surgical removal) or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. In general, pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery is sometimes treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, called neoadjuvant treatment, to shrink the tumor so that surgery might be possible. However, this is not always effective at shrinking the tumor enough to allow it to be removed with surgery. Recent discoveries suggest that the investigators own immune system might have a role in controlling the growth of tumors. Drugs such as pembrolizumab can stimulate the immune system against cancer. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether pembrolizumab can be used safely during neoadjuvant treatment and can improve the body's immune response against pancreatic cancer.
Pembrolizumab has been approved for treatment of patients with melanoma but has not been proven to be safe or helpful in patients with pancreatic cancer and is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this purpose.
Clinical Study on the Safety and Efficacy of the efficacy and safety of Adebrelimab combined with chemotherapy for neoadjuvant treatment of resectable pancreatic cancer
Improvement of the clinical outcome in patients with resectable pancreatic carcinoma through an intensified adjuvant treatment with gemcitabine, cisplatin and regional deep hyperthermia as compared to standard chemotherapy.
The investigators plan to collect throat swabs, saliva, feces and serum samples from pancreatic cancer patients, chronic pancreatitis patients and healthy people and clarify the characteristics of oral flora and serum metabolome of pancreatic cancer patients.
