Sequential Use of AG and mFOLFIRINOX as Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. Current guidelines recommend Nab-paclitaxel, Gemcitabine and modified Folfirinox as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen. Studies have shown that sequential chemotherapeutic regimen can effectively delay the drug resistance and improve the effect of chemotherapy. Here investigators intend to assess the effect of sequential treatment with Nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine and modified Folfirinox as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Evaluation of CEMIP in Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal diseases among all cancer types.

The diagnosis of PC is usually based on radiology or invasive endoscopic techniques. Various types of tumor markers are used for diagnosing PC. The tumor markers carbohydrate antigen19-9 (CA 19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) are the ones most closely tied to PC. These tests are more often used in people already diagnosed with pancreatic cancer to help tell if treatment is working or if the cancer is progressing .

Cell migration inducing protein (CEMIP) has been reported to be associated with early detection, cancer cell migration, invasion, and poor prognosis.

Aim of the work:

* To Estimate the level of CEMIP, CA19-9 and CEA in pancreatic cancer patients.
* To evaluate the clinical utility of serum CEMIP, CA19-9 and CEA in pancreatic cancer patients in comparison with healthy controls and their relation to cancer staging and histopathological types.
* To detect the correlation between CEMIP, CA-19-9 and CEA.

Resectability of Pancreatic Head Cancer by Contrast-enhanced MDCT:a Multi-center Study

The purpose of this multicenter and double-blind clinical trial is to prospectively assess the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, and accuracy in respectability of pancreatic head cancer with contrasted-enhanced MDCT and its various post processing techniques, taking operational and pathological records as the gold standard.

Irinotecan, Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin in Treating Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of irinotecan when given together with fluorouracil and leucovorin in treating patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer.

Phase I/II Study to Evaluate Nab-paclitaxel in Substitution of CPT11 or Oxaliplatin in FOLFIRINOX Schedule as First Line Treatment in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

At this moment, FOLFIRINOX is the best treatment for selected patients (pts) with metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC). Investigator would like to evaluate the substitution of CPT11 or Oxaliplatin in FOLFIRINOX schedule with Nab-paclitaxel (Nab-p) [Nab-FOLFIRI and Nab-FOLFOX].

Doses for Nab-FOLFIRI and Nab-FOLFOX will be determined by the phase I trial. One or both schedules will be evaluated in successive phase II part.

A Randomised Trial of ATRA in a Novel Drug Combination for Pancreatic Cancer

This is an open-label, multi-centre, randomised, stratified, phase IIb clinical trial of ATRA administered in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in patients with laPDAC.

Study of Cabiralizumab in Combination With Nivolumab in Patients With Selected Advanced Cancers

Phase 1a/1b does-escalation study of cabiralizumab alone and with nivolumab in advanced solid tumors.

A Study of ART0380 for the Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

This clinical trial is evaluating a drug called ART0380 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The main goals of this study are to:

* Find the recommended dose of ART0380 that can be given safely to participants alone and in combination with gemcitabine or irinotecan
* Learn more about the side effects of ART0380 alone and in combination with gemcitabine or irinotecan
* Learn more about the effectiveness of ART0380 alone and in combination with gemcitabine or irinotecan

HIPEC as Neoadjuvant Treatment for Resectable Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

This single-center, prospective proof-of-concept study is designed to evaluate the surgical outcomes and clinicopathologic results of neoadjuvant hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in conjunction with perioperative systemic chemotherapy (SCT; neoadjuvant and adjuvant) and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in a small cohort of patients having T1-T3 resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with one or more high-risk clinical features. The investigators hypothesize that HIPEC administered in this clinical course will reduce postoperative peritoneal disease recurrence. The investigators also expect that local recurrence of disease will be reduced. The primary aim of this study is to compare 2-year peritoneal disease-free survival between patients receiving the experimental therapy (neoadjuvant HIPEC + SCT + PD) with historical controls receiving standard therapy (SCT + PD). Secondary aims are to determine the clinical feasibility and outcomes of neoadjuvant HIPEC for resectable PDAC using patient demographics and disease characteristic data.

Improving Pancreatic Cancer Care by the Use of Computational Science and Technology

The goal of the IMPACT project is to set up a data sharing infrastructure between expert centers for pancreatic surgery that enables training, testing and validation of computer science tools to improve quality of care for patients with pancreatic cancer.
