This is a single, retrospective, observational study to investigate the risk factors for achieving textbook outcome after laparoscopic duodenum-preserving total pancreatic head resection.
The goal of this prospective, interventional, non-randomized study was to compare pain score in unilateral and bilateral posterior percutaneous neurolytic celiac plexus block (NCPB) in upper abdominal cancer patients.
The main questions it aimed to answer are:
1. Whether unilateral or bilateral NCPB technique has a better pain relief
2. Was there any difference in terms of complication rates between these two approaches All participants were having upper abdominal cancer whether operated or non-operable cancer were given a unilateral or bilateral neurolytic celiac plexus block.
Pain scores and adverse events at multiple time points post-procedure were recorded.
This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of veliparib and gemcitabine hydrochloride when given with cisplatin in treating patients with advanced biliary, pancreatic, urothelial, or non-small cell lung cancer. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride, 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. Veliparib may help cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs.
The objective of this study is to investigate whether adding the study drug, NP137, to a patient's treatment regimen (before surgery and in combination with chemotherapy afterward) can alter the behavior of pancreatic cancer..
This was an open-label, nonrandomized, Phase 1/2 study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of epacadostat when given in combination with pembrolizumab and 7 different chemotherapy regimens described as Treatment Groups A through G below (see Study Drug and Background Therapies, Dose, and Mode of Administration). Phase 1 consisted of a 3 + 3 + 3 design intended to determine the MTD or PAD of epacadostat when given in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy; efficacy was also explored.
Phase 2 was designed to enroll efficacy expansion cohorts to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of epacadostat at the MTD or PAD (as selected in Phase 1) when given in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. Each efficacy expansion cohort was to enroll participants with 1 specific type of advanced or metastatic solid tumor. Additional cohorts (ie, the mandatory biopsy cohorts) were designed to evaluate changes in the tumor microenvironment in participants with any advanced or metastatic solid tumor who had progressed on previous therapy with a PD-1 or a PD-L1 inhibitor.
No participants were enrolled in any Phase 2 efficacy expansion cohort, or in any Phase 2 mandatory biopsy cohort receiving Treatment A, B, F, or G. Phase 2 mandatory biopsy cohort participants received Treatments C, D, or E (ie, were included in Treatment Groups C, D, or E). Participants were assigned to a treatment group based on the chemotherapy regimen most appropriate for their tumor type.
The study is being conducted to evaluate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of maintenance Fluzoparib monotherapy in patients with gBRCA/PALB2 mutated metastatic pancreatic cancer whose disease has not progressed on first line platinum based chemotherapy.
Pancreatic cancer is a gastrointestinal tumor with a high degree of malignancy. Currently, there are many first-line chemotherapy regimens in clinical practice, but the individual selection of chemotherapy regimens has not been unanimously recognized.This study is aimed at exploring the correlation between the two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D – SWE) parameters and pancreatic cancer stromal elements proportion through an ultrasound scan for resectable pancreatic cancer cases and postoperative pathological specimen analysis. Then determine if the pancreatic cancer two-dimensional shear wave elastography can guide clinicians selecting chemotherapy scheme by predicting tumor stromal elements .These results are expected to provide an effective non-invasive diagnostic basis for individualized treatment of pancreatic cancer.
The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of azacitidine and gemcitabine in subjects with previously untreated and unresectable pancreatic cancer. Also to determine the effect of azacitidine therapy on DNA methylation in peripheral blood cells.
The study will perform a clinical study evaluating the safety and tolerability of nintedanib when combined with standard chemotherapy (Gemcitabine + nab-Paclitaxel) for metastatic pancreatic cancer. It will utilize advanced imaging correlates including dynamic contrast enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) which correlates with tumor grade and microvessel density.
This Phase 1 study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of [Ga-68]-PNT6555 and [Lu-177]-PNT6555 in subjects with select solid tumors that have FAP over-expression, in order to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose.
