NCT02551991
This is an open-label, phase 2 non-comparative study to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of nal-IRI in combination with other anticancer therapies in patients not previously treated for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This study will assess the following regimen: • nal-IRI + 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV) + oxaliplatin The study will be conducted in two parts: Part 1, consisting of an initial dose exploration (Part 1A) followed by dose expansion (Part 1B) of the irinotecan liposome injection +5-FU/LV + oxaliplatin regimen and Part 2, consisting of a comparison of irinotecan liposome injection-containing regimen versus nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine. The comparative Part 2 was removed in a protocol amendment, dated 11 April 2018 (Version 6.0), before it was initiated, as this comparative part of the study is being undertaken as a stand-alone phase III study D-US-60010-001. This CSR only pertains to the single-arm dose exploration and dose expansion Part 1 results and no further reference is made to the comparative Part 2.
NCT01888978

NCT02311361
Background: \- Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is used to treat cancer. It is a way of giving very focused beams of radiation to tumors. Researchers think that the drugs being used in this study might work better when combined with SBRT in people with pancreatic cancer. Objective: \- To study the safety and effectiveness of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) and/or tremelimumab with SBRT. Eligibility: \- People 18 and older who have pancreatic cancer that has not responded or to chemotherapy. They must be candidates for radiation but not resection. Design: * Participants will be screened with medical history and physical exam. They will have blood tests. Their tumor will be measured using computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). * Participants will have their tumor biopsied with a needle. They will have also have a biopsy after cycle 1. * Participants will get 1 or 2 drugs in combination with the SBRT. * For MEDI4736, the duration of each cycle will be 28-days. Participants will get the drug through an intravenous (IV) infusion twice in each cycle (Days 1 and 15). * For tremelimumab, the duration of the first 6 cycles will each last 28 days. Then the duration of the last 3 cycles will change to 12 weeks. Participants will get the drug through an IV once in each cycle. * All participants will have SBRT. Some will get 1 dose of radiation and some will get 5. CT scans will map their tumor. * Participants will have medical history, physical exam, and blood tests in each cycle. They will have a CT scan or MRI every 8 weeks. Cycles will continue for up to 12 months. * Participants will be contacted yearly for follow-up.
NCT03504423
A prospective, multicenter, open label, randomized phase III study to evaluate efficacy and safety of FFX versus CPI-613 + mFFX in patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with age range of 18 to 75 years
NCT00040183
The purpose of this study is to determine if OSI-774 will improve overall survival when combined with a standard dose of the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine, to individuals with pancreatic cancer.
NCT05959395
In this study, tumors of the pancreas are treated with a device placed around the abdomen that creates an electromagnetic field that generates heat in the tumor. Heating the tumor improves blood flow and the delivery of chemotherapy to the tumor as has been shown in numerous studies for various cancers with potential clinical benefits. Subjects will receive the thermal treatment on the same day and prior to receiving standard of care chemotherapy for a total of 4 treatments. This study is an early feasibility study that aims to demonstrate the safety and the performance of the device.
NCT01845805
To improve progression free survival in high risk patients with resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have node positive disease, margin positive disease, and/or elevation in CA 19-9 treated with CC-486 (oral azacitidine) as compared to observation after completion of adjuvant therapy.
NCT01459614
Primary Objectives To assess the efficacy of the combination of gemcitabine, taxotere, and xeloda (GTX) with cisplatin in subjects with metastatic pancreatic cancer based on the progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 6 month. Secondary Objectives * To assess safety and characterize toxicities of the combination of GTX with cisplatin in subjects with metastatic pancreatic cancer. * To estimate disease control rate (DCR), PFS, and overall survival (OS). * To estimate a PFS rate of an expansion cohort testing an alternative schedule. Study Design This study is a single arm phase II study to assess the efficacy of GTX with cisplatin in subjects with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Approximately 38 evaluable subjects will be enrolled, 28 in the initial cohort and 10 in the expansion cohort The study will have a safety run-in phase consisting of 6 subjects. To ensure that the combination is safe, the first six subjects will be treated at DL1 and observed for limiting toxicity for the first 2 cycles before continuation with further accrual. After the safety run-in, the study will be continuously monitored for adverse events. The primary endpoint will be the PFS rate at 6 month, which is defined as the proportion of subjects alive, free of disease progression at 6 months. The treatment regimen would be considered of insufficient activity for further study in this population if PFS rate at 6 months is 50% or less, and the minimum required level of efficacy that would warrant further study with the proposed regimen is a 75% PFS rate at 6 months. The study design includes interim monitoring for futility using a predictive probability approach. We will stop the study early if given the information at the interim analysis, it is unlikely that the PFS rate at 6 months will be greater than 50% if the study continues to the end.
NCT00727441
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from gene-modified tumor cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill pancreatic cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving vaccine therapy together with cyclophosphamide may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether vaccine therapy is more effective with or without cyclophosphamide in treating patients with pancreatic cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying the side effects of vaccine therapy and to see how well it works when given with or without cyclophosphamide in treating patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for stage I or stage II pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery.
NCT00364364
This no treatment research study is being done to find a safe and an appropriate dose of antibody (protein) against tumor cells to best target the cancer in people with pancreatic cancer. To do this, this no-treatment research study will compare two doses of an antibody called hPAM4 IgG when combined with a radioactive element, Indium-111.
NCT02004262

NCT03621644
High-dose magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided hypofractionated radiation therapy delivered using daily adaptive dose planning has been shown in a retrospective study to result in improved overall survival, relative to patients receiving lower radiation doses, in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer, without increasing the rate of serious gastrointestinal toxicity. The goal of the proposed trial is to investigative in a controlled, prospective manner the robustness of this outcome, and to track quality of life over a 5-year trial period.
NCT00569387
To assess the response for subjects with pancreatic cancer that have undergone surgical resection and treatment with a vaccine given with chemotherapy and chemoradiation.
NCT01662609
The purpose of this study is to find out whether Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) can detect early stage pre-cancerous or cancerous changes in the pancreas in patients at high-risk for the development of pancreatic cancer. Endoscopic refers to the use of an instrument called an endoscope - a thin, flexible tube with a tiny video camera and light on the end. Ultrasound refers to an imaging technique that uses sound waves to produce pictures. EUS in this research study is a method of combining endoscopy and ultrasound imaging to obtain high quality images of the pancreas.
