Pancreatic enucleation could preserve more healthy pancreatic tissues and functions with a low recurrence risk. However, conventional enucleation can cause significant intraoperative bleeding, especially in which tumors in the pancreatic head, neck, and uncinate process of pancreas, as these tissues are rich in blood supply, mainly including the abdominal trunk and the superior mesenteric artery. In this study, we developed a novel method to control the pancreatic blood flow in laparoscopic enucleation–blocking the abdominal trunk and superior mesenteric artery with vascular occlusion clips in the process of resection, and evaluated its effectiveness and safety.
The purpose of this signal seeking study was to determine whether treatment with LEE011 demonstrates sufficient efficacy in CDK4/6 pathway activated solid tumors and/or hematologic malignancies to warrant further study.
FOLFIRINOX regimen is first-line neoadjuvant chemotherapies for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) worldwide. However, FOLFIRINOX is not well accepted in China because of the high prevalence of adverse events and poor tolerance. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of modified-FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) in Chinese LAPC patients and compare survival between LAPC patients with mFOLFIRINOX-based preoperative therapy and LAPC patients who underwent surgery alone.
Background Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is used as a marker to predict recurrence and survival of patients with Pancreatic cancer(PDAC). Recently, fecal elastase-1(FE-1), a marker of pancreatic exocrine function, has been shown to correlate with prognosis in patients with PDAC. However, there have been no studies that have predicted prognosis by combining these two factors. In this study, investigators developed a predictive strategy for prognosis of PDAC using data on preoperative CA19-9 and FE-1 levels.6
Methods The clinical data of patients with resectable pancreatic cancer from two hospitals were analyzed. The cut-off points of preoperative CA19-9 and FE-1 levels were extracted from the Youden index and previous studies (385 U/ml and 100 µg/g stool, respectively). Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate the association between preoperative tumor marker levels and survival (3-overall survival and 1-year recurrence free survival) after surgery.
The International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) issued the definition and classification system of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), and received widespread recognition. Currently, it has become an important reference for clinical treatment of POPF.
Randomized study comparing endoscopic stent insertion strategy versus double-bypass surgery in non-resectable periampullary cancer
This study is a first-in-human, Phase 1, open label, multicenter, dose escalation study with expansion at the RP2D, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of ZB131 in patients with solid tumors where prevalence of CSP expression is high. Approximately 12 to 24 patients will be enrolled in the Dose Escalation Stage; the total number of patients will depend on the dose level at which the RP2D is defined. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria during Screening will enter the treatment period. ZB131 will be given via IV every week. Patients will be treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities occur.
The purpose of the Phase 1/2a study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SNK01 in combination with trastuzumab or cetuximab in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and the preliminary efficacy for each combination regimen.
Researchers have developed a new test to measure a protein QSOX1 that is found to be elevated in subjects with pancreas cancer. Researchers are looking to use this test to compare subjects with pancreas cancer and subjects without pancreas cancer to see if this test could be used to diagnosis pancreas cancer.
To find the recommended dose of TROP2- CAR-NK given intraperitoneally (directly into the abdominal cavity) to patients with highgrade serous ovarian cancer that has not responded to previous treatment or is resistant to treatment.
