This is an exploratory Phase I study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the OXIRI regimen [oxaliplatin (O), xeloda (X) and irinotecan (I)] and to evaluate for preliminary evidence of efficacy, in patients with advanced and/or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The investigators hypothesize that 2 of 3 weekly doses of oxaliplatin and genotype directed-dosing of irinotecan in combination with chronomodulated capecitabine (xeloda) administered continuously will be more tolerable than the FOLFIRINOX regimen (folinic acid, fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin) while maintaining anti-tumour activity.
Studies have shown that injecting local anesthetics in areas rich in blood vessels increases the risk of drug injection into blood vessels by mistake and increases the systemic absorption of drugs, which may increase the incidence of central nervous system and cardiovascular system toxic events caused by local anesthetics.EUS-CPN-related complications have not been clearly associated with local anesthetic adverse events.However, EUS-CPN local anesthetic injection area is located around the beginning of the abdominal trunk with abundant large and small blood vessels. The choice of local anesthetics with higher safety than bupivacaine, such as ropivacaine, is of great significance to ensure the safety of eus-cpn, especially for eus-cpn beginners.At present, there are no reports on the application of ropivacaine in eus-cpn.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cixutumumab when given together with everolimus and octreotide acetate in treating patients with advanced low- or intermediate-grade neuroendocrine cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, may find tumor cells and help carry tumor-killing substances to them. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Octreotide acetate may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of neuroendocrine cancer. Giving cixutumumab together with everolimus and octreotide acetate may be a better treatment for neuroendocrine cancer.
Randomized study comparing the effect of plastic stents to that of expandable metal stents as pre-operative drainage of the bile ducts prior to Whipple operation.
To assess the efficacy of oral olaparib in patients with advanced cancer who have a confirmed genetic BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutation, by assessment of tumour response
Currently, for patients with pancreatic cancer the standard treatment is surgery followed by chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. An investigational approach is to perform the surgery and treat the area of the tumor with intraoperative radiotherapy in one procedure. Intraoperative radiation delivers low energy x-rays to a targeted area during the time of tumor removal.
The purpose of this study is to learn about both the good and bad effects of adding intraoperative radiation therapy. Another goal is to determine and compare the quality of life before and after the procedure. We will also monitor the effect of the therapy on the cancer lesion and any complications that may result.
A study to evaluate AGS-1C4D4 administered in combination with Gemcitabine chemotherapy in subjects with Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the drugs gemcitabine and dasatinib that can be given for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Gemcitabine (also called Gemzar™)is a drug that is given intravenously. Dasatinib (also called Sprycel™) is a tablet and will be taken by mouth.
Gemcitabine is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced breast, lung and pancreatic cancer. Dasatinib is approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia or for patients that are resistant to imatinib mesylate (Gleevec™ ).
This study will try to find the highest doses of these drugs that can be tolerated when taken in combination. The study will also look at how the drugs work in the body, and will see if there is any effect on pancreatic cancer.
This is a open-label, single center to determine the efficacy and safety of IM92 CAR-T cells in Patients With advanced gastric/esophagogastric combination adenocarcinoma that has failed at least second-line therapy and advanced pancreatic cancer that has failed at least first-line therapy.
This is a Phase I study; dose escalating the combination of pazopanib when taken daily and ixabepilone when administered on day 1 of a 3 week treatment course.
