The main goal of this study is to look at the effectiveness and anti-tumor activity (preventing growth of the tumor) of the drugs niraparib and ipilimumab, on the patients and their pancreatic cancer. This study will involve two different treatment arms. In Arm A, patients will receive niraparib plus ipilimumab. In Arm B, patients will receive standard chemotherapy.
The main questions the study aims to answer are:
* Does niraparib plus ipilimumab slow down tumor growth in patients with pancreatic cancer?
* What medical problems do participants have when taking niraparib plus ipilimumab?
Participants will:
* Undergo screening procedures to evaluate their cancer, overall health, and suitability for the study
* After passing screening, will be randomized to Arm A or B and be scheduled to receive niraparib plus ipilimumab (Arm A) or chemotherapy (Arm B)
* Receive niraparib plus ipilimumab every 3 weeks (Arm A)
* Receive chemotherapy every 2 weeks (Arm B)
* Visit the clinic for regular checkups and tests
To determine recommended phase 2 dose and to evaluate the safety of vactosertib in combination with nal-IRI/FL in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who have failed first-line gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adebrelimab combined with the AG regimen in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who have received at least one prior line of systemic therapy but have not undergone gemcitabine-based treatment.
The endomicroscopy is an adaptation of traditional optical microscopy in the digestive endoscopy. Furthermore, with the integration of a miniaturized laser confocal microscope to a videoendoscope, it's possible to study the digestive mucous by "optical biopsy". This monocentric, non randomized and prospective study uses the Intra-ductal confocal endomicroscopy for the characterization of pancreas and bile duct tumor.
Currently, there is no clear legal or ethical guidance about how researchers and IRBs ought to proceed when the research participant in a biobank is deceased and there is clinically relevant information that could be disclosed to family members. This study is designed to test a procedure offering genetic information to family members of research participants who participated in a pancreatic cancer biobank in a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) -compliant design.
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) is a solid cancer with a very poor prognosis with overall survival, all stages combined, not exceeding 5% at 5 years. The incidence and number of deaths caused by this type of tumor have been steadily increasing for two decades. In the absence of therapeutic advances, PA will be one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in 2030.
In recent years, researchers and clinicians have now attempted to characterize and understand PA as a whole, through the various stages of its carcinogenesis and the analysis of its microenvironment. Indeed, the stroma of PA can represent up to 80% of the tumor mass and mainly composed of activated fibroblasts (CAF), endothelial and immune cells and extracellular matrix (collagen and fibronectin). However, the characterization of cell subtypes of this stroma is under study, as the pro or anti-tumor role of each cell subtype is not yet well understood.
New technologies such as the CyTOF that has just been acquired by the ICM and the IRCM will make it possible to study these problems and to examine the cellular subpopulations that make up the tumor. On the other hand, active research is conducted to disrupt the dialogue between the tumor cells and those of the microenvironment.
The search for innovative treatments in pancreatic adenocarcinoma requires the use of models of relevant preclinical studies. The most widely used models are based on cell lines of human origin used in vitro or in vivo after xenograft in immunodeficient mice. In particular, studies with pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PDX) derived tumors of patients reported that the response rate of PDX to certain drugs (gemcitabine, erlotinib …) used clinically was similar to the response rates of patients enrolled in clinical studies. of these agents as monotherapy. A number of studies have evaluated the efficacy of targeted anti-tumor, anti-angiogenic or anti-stroma therapies from these PDTX models. Personalized medicine strategies can be envisioned as well as the study of new biomarkers, drugs or molecular mechanisms involved in therapeutic resistance. For several years, the investigators have been developing AP PTDX in the INSERM 1194 unit.
The investigators propose to continue the development of this collection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma PDTX prospectively and to carry out their histological, molecular and mutational characterization.
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a condition where the pancreas does not have enough pancreatic enzymes to break down food. Some symptoms of EPI are frequent gas/bloating, unexplained stomach pains, frequent diarrhea, and foul-smelling, greasy stools. The purpose of this study is to see how effective CREON is for treating symptoms of EPI due to causes other than cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic pancreatitis (CP), pancreatectomy (PY), or pancreatic cancer (PC).
CREON (Pancrelipase) is an approved drug used to treat people who cannot digest food normally due to their pancreas not making enough enzymes. Adult participants with a diagnosis of EPI due to causes other than CF, CP, PY, or PC will be enrolled. Around 50 participants will be enrolled in approximately 20 sites in the United States.
Participants will receive oral CREON capsules with each meal and snack beginning at Day 1 for 27 weeks.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or a clinic. Participants will need to be confined for 2 separate periods of 6 to 8 days each to measure Co-efficient of Fat Absorption (during screening and after enrollment). The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood and stool tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with pancreatic cancer who have progressed on or after previous SoC chemotherapy. Phase 2 will be based on Simon's two-stage optimal design.
RATIONALE: A disease management program may be more effective than standard therapy in improving quality of life and controlling symptoms in patients with cancer.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying a disease management program to see how well it works compared with usual care in patients with stage III or stage IV lung cancer, stage III or stage IV pancreatic cancer, stage III or stage IV ovarian cancer, or stage III or stage IV colorectal cancer, and their caregivers.
NanOlogy may consider offering expanded access to NanoPac for patients who do not meet the enrollment criteria of clinical trials in progress.
