Search clinical trials by condition, location and status
The purpose of this study is to understand whether a blood-based test called circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can detect whether participants are having a desired tumor shrinkage or an undesired lack of tumor shrinkage, and to study whether these levels of ctDNA can be used to make treatment decisions faster than the current standard approach, which is to wait 8 weeks after starting chemotherapy to obtain participant first imaging scans since starting chemotherapy.
This early phase I trial studies the biological activity of OMO-103 in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). OMO-103 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This trial may help researchers determine how exposure to OMO-103 changes pancreatic tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of BMS-986504, a selective, MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor, in combination with Nab-paclitaxel/Gemcitabine (nab-p/gem) versus placebo in combination with nab-p/gem, in participants with untreated metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with homozygous methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) deletion.
This study aims to refine and pilot test PDAC-PATHWAYS, a digital informational and supportive care app for patients who are initiating neoadjuvant therapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
This is a feasibility, safety, tolerability, and efficacy research study of an investigational device called "Suizenji", an ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy system for the treatment of unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Focused ultrasound therapy uses a number of small ultrasound generators attached to a bowl-shaped ultrasound generator to emit ultrasound waves from outside to inside the body and focus them on a single point where cancerous cells in the pancreas are located. The targeted area is then heated, which kills the pancreatic cancer cells, and as a result, the patient's life may be prolonged. Experience with Suizenji for pancreatic cancer patients has shown that the "heating" is only a warm feeling in the abdomen during the treatment.
This goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the drug combination of intraperitoneal paclitaxel (chemotherapy given directly into the abdominal cavity) and intravenous NALIRIFOX (chemotherapy given into a vein, including fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and liposomal irinotecan) is safe and works in adults with pancreatic cancer that has spread to the peritoneum. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are people with pancreatic cancer able to tolerate the combination drug regimen? * How well does the combination drug regimen work to treat pancreatic cancer? Participants will: * Obtain a port that goes into the abdomen to deliver intraperitoneal paclitaxel (called an intraperitoneal catheter) * Receive treatment with intravenous NALIRIFOX once every 2 weeks and intraperitoneal paclitaxel on days 1 and 8 of each 14-day cycle * Visit the clinic with each treatment for checkups and laboratory testing * Have imaging scans and blood lab testing to determine response to treatment * Have abdominal fluid lab testing that may help determine if the cancer is responding to treatment * Fill out questionnaires to see how the treatment affects how participants feel and function * Continue follow up after treatment ends to track survival Some participants may be able to have surgery later if the cancer responds well. This is called conversion surgery. To be eligible for surgery, the cancer must have shrunk or stayed the same, peritoneal fluid (from the abdomen) must no longer show cancer cells, and a tumor marker called CA 19-9 must decrease or return to normal. The decision to do surgery will depend on the treating surgeon. By testing this new treatment strategy, researchers hope to find a safer and more effective way to treat people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to the abdomen. If successful, this approach may lead to longer survival, better quality of life, and more people becoming eligible for surgery.
This is a single-center, open-label, phase 1 dose escalation and dose expansion (safety confirmation) trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of balixafortide and cosibelimab in patients with metastatic PDAC who progressed after SOC chemotherapy.
The investigators hypothesize that CD11b agonism reprograms the tumor microenvironment (TME) to overcome resistance to checkpoint immunotherapy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Therefore, the investigators propose an open label phase I/II clinical trial of Ontegimod with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma prior to future studies incorporating anti-PD1 checkpoint immunotherapy.
This phase II trial tests how well liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (NALIRIFOX) before surgery works in treating patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that is close to major blood vessels, but is still potentially removable by surgery (borderline resectable). Irinotecan is in a class of antineoplastic medications called topoisomerase I inhibitors. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair and may kill tumor cells. Liposomal irinotecan is a form of the anticancer drug irinotecan that is contained inside very tiny, fat-like particles. Liposomal irinotecan may have fewer side effects and work better than other forms of the drug. Oxaliplatin is in a class of medications called platinum-containing antineoplastic agents. It damages the cell's DNA and may kill tumor cells. 5-fluorouracil, a type of antimetabolite, stops cells from making DNA and it may kill tumor cells. Leucovorin, a form of folic acid, is used to lessen the toxic effects of substances that block the action of folic acid. It is a type of chemoprotective agent and a type of chemosensitizing agent. Giving NALIRIFOX before surgery may improve the chance of successful surgery and decrease the chance of the cancer returning after surgery in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
This is a multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm, open-label, phase Ib, dose escalation/dose expansion study of PTM-101 when combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the treatment of treatment-naïve subjects with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
