MTC-DOX is Doxorubicin or DOX, a chemotherapy drug, that is adsorbed, or made to "stick", to magnetic beads (MTCs). MTCs are tiny, microscopic particles of iron and carbon. When DOX is added to MTCs, DOX attaches to the carbon part of the MTCs. MTC-DOX is directed to and deposited in the area of a tumor, where it is thought that it then "leaks" through the blood vessel walls. Once in the surrounding tissues, it is thought that Doxorubicin becomes ȯree from" the magnetic beads and will then be able to act against the tumor cells. The iron component of the particle has magnetic properties, making it possible to direct MTC-DOX to specific tumor sites in the liver by placing a magnet on the body surface. It is hoped that MTC-DOX used with the magnet may target the chemotherapy drug directly to liver tumors and provide a treatment to patients with cancers that have spread to the liver.
RATIONALE: Heat shock protein (HSP)90 inhibitor STA-9090 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the proteins needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well hsp90 inhibitor STA-9090 works as second- or third-line therapy for the treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This study is a single-arm, multi-center, multi-cohort, prospective clinical study initiated by the investigator.
The indication of this study is: patients with advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer who have progressed after first-line chemotherapy. Eligible patients will be assigned to liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV) (nal-IRI/5-FU/LV) combined with benmelstobart and anlotinib ± SBRT.
The total sample size for this study is expected to be 56 subjects.
The investigators create organoid from the pancreatic cancer tissue obtained via EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB within the pancreatic cancer diagnostic process. And also the investigators create organoid from the pancreatic cancer tissue obtained after surgery as part of the pancreatic cancer treatment process. Check for the reactivity to anti-cancer drugs through cell viability assay after treating with various anti-cancer drugs, such as anti-cancer drugs used as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer to the organoid. Also, perform genomic analysis on each organoid, and then check if there are any unique genomic mutations for each organoid. By recognizing the relationship between the unique genomic mutations and reactivity to the anti-cancer drug within pancreatic cancer patients eligible for surgery, the investigators aim to strategize appropriate neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery, thus developing a platform to predict the outcomes of each patient.
This is a data collection study, also referred to as a "screening" study; no investigational or standard therapy will be administered as part of this study. In order to identify subjects for the Phase I/II study, TCR001-201, patients with following histologically confirmed tumor types will be initially screened in this protocol for their somatic mutation and HLA type:
* Gynecologic cancer (ovarian or endometrial)
* Colorectal cancer
* Pancreatic cancer
* Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC includes but is not limited to squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma or adenocarcinomas
* Cholangiocarcinoma Subjects' somatic mutation(s) and HLA type restriction combination will be examined against Alaunos Therapeutics Inc.'s (Alaunos) TCR library to determine if a TCR match is available for that subject. Subjects without a match will be discontinued from this protocol.
Subjects with a TCR match in the Alaunos TCR library will continue to be followed on this protocol and their clinical status will be monitored on an ongoing basis for eligibility, i.e., for progressive or recurrent disease, to enroll and receive TCR-T cell therapy on the Phase I/II study. Subjects will complete participation on this protocol when the subject enrolls on the Phase I/II study or if the subject dies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of MGD009 when given to patients with B7-H3-expressing tumors. The study will also evaluate what is the highest dose of MGD009 that can be given safely. Assessments will be done to see how the drug acts in the body (pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and to evaluate potential anti-tumor activity of MGD009.
The project is designed to test new biomarkers that are more sensitive than the current standard in detecting injury to the proximal kidney tubule and will establish better criteria for when kidney safety concerns may halt further testing of a drug in humans.
RATIONALE: Minimally-invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD), either laparoscopic or robot-assisted, has been suggested as a valuable alternative to open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD). The generalizability of the current literature is, however, unknown since randomized studies are lacking, and current data are published from few, very high volume centers and selection bias with a lack of case-matched series. International studies are lacking completely.
OBJECTIVE: To compare outcomes of MIPD versus open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD), in high-volume European pancreas centers (>10 MIPDs per year, total >20 PDs per year).
METHODS: A retrospective multicenter propensity-score matched cohort study including all consecutive patients who underwent MIPD (or MI total pancreatectomy) between January 2012 and December 2016, for pancreatic head, bile duct, or duodenal cancer or cysts except chronic pancreatitis. Predefined electronic case report forms will be disseminated amongst participating centers. Participants are responsible for their own data collection. Matching of MIPD cases (collected from participating centers) to OPD controls (extracted from Dutch and German national registries) will be based on propensity scores determined by logistic regression including preoperative variables: year of surgery, demographics, BMI, ASA, comorbidities, tumor size, tumor etiology (diagnosis), and multivisceral resection. Primary outcome is 90-day major morbidity(Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3a). Secondary outcomes are 90-day postoperative events including: pancreatic fistula, length of hospital stay, R0 (microscopically negative) resection margin, malignant lymph node ratio, days to adjuvant therapy and overall survival.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest tumor types of the alimentary system. Resection is the only curable method to treat pancreatic cancer. However, even if radical resection is achieved, the 5-year survival rate is still low because of tumor recurrence. It's reported adjuvant radiation can prolong survival and improve quality of life after surgery. For R0 (microscopic negative margin) resection patients with advanced stages (T3 or N1), the value of adjuvant radiation is still in debate. It's warranted to explore the role of adjuvant radiation for patients after radical resection of pancreatic cancer with advanced stages (T3 or N1) in large, prospective, and randomized cohorts.
The application of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) makes radiation less harmful and more flexible. It is hoped that adjuvant SBRT may benefit post-operative patients with advanced stages and one day adjuvant SBRT combined with chemotherapy become the standard of care for pancreatic cancer patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the OATD-02 administration (orally) in monotherapy is safe and has the pharmacodynamic potential to restore and enhance tumour responses to immunotherapy through increased arginine levels or intrinsic anti-tumour activity in participants with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, renal cancer or pancreatic cancer.
