This phase II trial studies how well regorafenib and gemcitabine hydrochloride work as second-line therapy (treatment given when initial treatment doesn't work) in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Regorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving regorafenib together with gemcitabine hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nano drug interventional therapy using digital subtraction angiography（DSA） for pancreatic cancer. The nano drug is made by mixing Gemzar® with Compound Glycyrrhizin Injection.
This phase-2 study aims to evaluate feasibility, safety and efficacy of thermal ablation of biliary obstructive malignancies by means of radiofrequency ablation (RFA, ELRA, StarMed) during endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreaticography (ERCP) with primary intent to obtain palliative biliary drainage via stenting
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical use of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET (positron emission tomography)/CT (computed tomography) imaging in patients with pancreatic or bile duct cancer. The study consists of three parts and patients can only participate in one part of the study.
The main questions the study aims to answer are:
* In part A: What is the best timing and scanprotocol of a [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT scan?
* In part B: Are the results of the simplified scan protocol repeatable?
* In part C: What is the accuracy of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT to detect pancreatic cancer and is it able to detect the effect of chemotherapy on pancreatic cancer lesions?
Participants in this study will be asked to undergo the following:
* In part A: participants will undergo 1 [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT scan and will have 2 venous canullas and 1 arterial cannula placed.
* In part B: participants will undergo 2 [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT scans and will have a venous cannula placed for each scan.
* In part C: participants will undergo 2 [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT scans and will have a venous cannula placed for each scan.
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and how well trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride combination agent TAS-102 (TAS-102) and nanoliposomal irinotecan work in treating patients with gastrointestinal cancers that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in the chemotherapy, such as trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride combination agent TAS-102 and nanoliposomal irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of Neoprene-based glue in the management of pancreatic stump after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in patients at high risk for pancreatic fistula and early neoplastic recurrence, compared with a population of patients at conventional risk.
The prospective clinical trial "PDA-MAPS – Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma – Microbiome as Predictor of Subtypes" aims to investigate the prognostic and predictive power of the orointestinal and tumoral microbiome in PDAC patients and associate findings with genetic, transcriptional and clinical data, in particular with treatment response.
Pancreatic cancer (PC) remains a dreadful disease due to its often advanced stage at diagnosis and poor sensitivity to chemotherapy. Progression after 1. line chemotherapy is inevitable in patients with advanced PC, and treatment options for patients who progress after 1. line chemotherapy are limited. Considering the emerging role of the tumor microenvironment, the combination of checkpoint blocking antibodies with immunomodulation of the tumor microenvironment could lead to better responses in tumor historically resistant to radiation and checkpoint blocking antibody approaches as single modalities. Influenza vaccination in cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors resulted in a better survival, irrespective of the anticancer treatment outcome. Influenza vaccine facilitates both T- and B cell activation and drives interferon-gamma response, supporting the rationale for combining of influenza vaccine with immune checkpoint inhibition and radiation (NCT02866383).
Based on these considerations, the proposed treatment with SBRT of 15 Gy in combination with nivolumab, ipilimumab and influenza vaccine may have the potential to provide meaningful clinical benefit by generating durable clinical responses, thereby improving quality of life (QoL) and potentially extending survival.
This is an open-label phase 1-b study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CCX872-B in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma also receiving FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy.
