NCT01248962
Patients who have this kind of cancer are often treated with several drugs. Carboplatin is one that seems to work for many treatment cycles. Even though it may work against the cancer, the patient can become allergic to it. If that happens, they would have to stop taking the drug. The standard way to give carboplatin is by vein over 30 minutes. Some people have been given carboplatin over 3 hours rather than 30 minutes and had fewer allergies than expected. The purpose of this study is to: Find out if giving carboplatin over three hours can prevent the allergy. See if medicine given before the carboplatin can help reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
NCT01474564
The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples and study cancer cells found in these blood samples from patients with pancreatic cancer. Prior research has discovered that tumor cells can be collected from the blood of patients with pancreatic and other cancers. The physicians have developed techniques for isolating and analyzing cancer cells using a simple blood test. They will study how these cells relate to how chemotherapy works. They hope to use this information to guide choices of treatment for patients in the future.
