This phase II trial studies if talazoparib works in patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and has mutation(s) in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage response genes who have or have not already been treated with another PARP inhibitor. Talazoparib is an inhibitor of PARP, a protein that helps repair damaged DNA. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. All patients who take part on this study must have a gene aberration that changes how their tumors are able to repair DNA. This trial may help scientists learn whether some patients might benefit from taking different PARP inhibitors "one after the other" and learn how talazoparib works in treating patients with advanced cancer who have aberration in DNA repair genes.
NCT05053971
This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of entinostat and ZEN003694 in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Entinostat is in a class of drugs called histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. ZEN003694 is an inhibitor of a family of proteins called the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET). It may prevent the growth of tumor cells that over produce BET protein. This trial aims to test the safety of combination therapy with entinostat and ZEN003694 in treating patients with advanced or refractory solid tumors.
NCT01660971
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of gemcitabine hydrochloride and dasatinib when given together with erlotinib hydrochloride in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Dasatinib and erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving gemcitabine hydrochloride and dasatinib together with erlotinib hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells.
NCT03745326
Background: A new cancer therapy takes white blood cells from a person, grows them in a lab, genetically changes them, then gives them back to the person. Researchers think this may help attack tumors in people with certain cancers. It is called gene transfer using anti-KRAS G12D mTCR cells. Objective: To see if anti-KRAS G12D mTCR cells are safe and cause tumors to shrink. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-72 who have cancer with a molecule on the tumors that can be recognized by the study cells Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, scans, photography, and heart, lung, and lab tests. An intravenous (IV) catheter will be placed in a large vein in the chest. Participants will have leukapheresis. Blood will be removed through a needle in an arm. A machine will divide the blood and collect white blood cells. The rest of the blood will be returned to the participant through a needle in the other arm. A few weeks later, participants will have a hospital stay. They will: * Get 2 chemotherapy medicines by IV over 5 days. * Get the changed cells through the catheter. Get up to 9 doses of a medicine to help the cells. They may get a shot to stimulate blood cells. * Recover in the hospital for up to 3 weeks. They will provide blood samples. Participants will take an antibiotic for at least 6 months. Participants will have several follow-up visits over 2 years. They will repeat most of the screening tests and may have leukapheresis. Participants blood will be collected for several years.

Participants in Part F will get tisotumab vedotin with pembrolizumab. * In Part G, participants will receive tisotumab vedotin on Days 1, 15, and 29 of every 6-week cycle. Participants in Part G will get tisotumab vedotin with pembrolizumab and carboplatin. The objectives of the study have been achieved. Therefore, the study will transition to a long-term extension phase (LTEP). * In LTEP, participants still receiving clinical benefit based on the investigator's assessment and remaining on treatment may continue receiving treatment. * Participants will still receive tisotumab vedotin with either: * Pembrolizumab or, * Pembrolizumab and carboplatin, or * Pembrolizumab and cisplatin
NCT05162846
The primary purpose of this study is to compare three interventions, two experimental and one standard of care (usual care), to see if the experimental interventions will increase the likelihood of a participant obtaining guideline-concordant genetic testing. Eligible participants will be randomized (assigned) to one of the following interventions: 1) Virtual genetics navigator, a mobile-optimized website, designed by the investigators, that delivers tailored messages and content; 2) two motivational interviewing (MI) telephone calls delivered by trained genetics health coaches; or 3) usual care.
NCT07191418
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a very aggressive cancer and may become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030. About half of the patients are diagnosed late, when the cancer has already spread (mPDAC), and the outlook is very poor. Chemotherapy is currently the only treatment for mPDAC. It can slow the disease and slightly extend life, but usually only by a few months. There are no other treatments that clearly improve survival. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive technique that uses high-frequency electrical energy to generate heat and destroy tumor cells. Radiofrequency energy raises the temperature of the tissue, leading to coagulative necrosis and tumor cell death. RFA is commonly used to treat certain types of cancer and pre-cancerous lesions, including liver, kidney, lung, and bone tumors. In addition to directly destroying tumor tissue, RFA may also enhance the immune system's ability to recognize and attack cancer cells by exposing tumor antigens that were previously hidden within the tumor mass. Most research on radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to date has focused on Barrett's esophagus and liver cancer. However, RFA is increasingly being explored in palliative care, where early results suggest potential benefits. Advances in miniaturized endoscopic technology have enabled the application of RFA in anatomically challenging locations, such as the bile duct. Studies, including case series and clinical trials, have demonstrated that RFA is both feasible and safe. However, its impact on overall survival remains uncertain. Many previous studies are limited by small sample sizes and heterogeneous populations, often including patients with different cancer types and disease stages, which introduces bias and limits the generalizability of findings. We have therefore designed a prospective study focusing on patients with bile duct obstruction due to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with limited metastatic spread (oligometastatic mPDAC). This study aims to provide more robust evidence on the potential role of RFA in improving clinical outcomes in a carefully selected subset of patients with advanced PDAC.
NCT07409272
Pancreatic cancer is difficult to diagnose early. By the time people have been diagnosed, the cancer has usually spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). The standard treatment is chemotherapy, but other treatments are needed to improve outcomes in people with pancreatic cancer. The first treatment that people usually receive is chemotherapy. At the time this study started, some of the main standard chemotherapies for pancreatic cancer were mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX. Genes give your body instructions on how to make proteins. Proteins are needed to keep the body working properly. Many types of cancer are caused by changes in certain genes, making them faulty. Many people with pancreatic cancer have a faulty KRAS gene. One such change in the KRAS gene is called a G12D mutation. Researchers are looking for ways to stop the actions of abnormal proteins made from the KRAS G12D mutation. This study is about setidegrasib given with chemotherapy in people with pancreatic cancer who have the KRAS G12D mutation. Before setidegrasib can become an approved treatment, clinical studies need to be completed to understand how it works and how safe it is. The main aim is to learn if people who are given setidegrasib with chemotherapy live for longer than people who are given placebo with chemotherapy. Other aims are to learn if setidegrasib delays the cancer and symptoms returning, how the body processes setidegrasib, and its safety, when given with chemotherapy. People in this study will be adults with metastatic pancreatic cancer with the G12D mutation in their KRAS gene. Surgery or radiotherapy will not be an option to cure their cancer. People cannot take part if the cancer cells have spread to the thin tissue covering the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal disease), have symptoms of cancer in the brain or nervous system, or have recently had some other cancers that required treatment. In this study, people are given either setidegrasib with mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX chemotherapy, or a placebo with mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX chemotherapy. Whether people receive setidegrasib or placebo is decided by chance. The study doctor decides which chemotherapy (mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX) people receive. All of the study treatments are given slowly through a tube into a vein (infusion). People will continue to receive study treatment until their cancer gets worse, they can't tolerate the study treatment, they start other cancer treatment, they or the doctor decides the person should stop receiving study treatment, or sadly they pass away. There will be safety checks at each visit, and the doctors will continue to check for medical problems and people's wellbeing throughout the study.
NCT02890355
This randomized phase II trial studies how well modified irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil (FOLFIRI) and veliparib as a second line of therapy work compared to FOLFIRI in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (metastatic). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether modified FOLFIRI and veliparib as second line therapy is more effective than FOLFIRI alone in treating metastatic pancreatic cancer.
NCT04683315

NCT03652428
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of the chemotherapy drugs nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine when combined with hypofractionated ablative proton therapy for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer. You will receive proton therapy once a day (Monday - Friday) for 3 weeks. Participants will also receive chemotherapy on each Monday of those three weeks.
NCT05836870
To learn if a supervised exercise program during chemotherapy treatments can help to improve outcomes in patients who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer
NCT04233866
This phase II trial compares two treatment combinations: gemcitabine hydrochloride and nab-paclitaxel, or fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and liposomal irinotecan in older patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, nab-paclitaxel, fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and liposomal irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This study may help doctors find out which treatment combination is better at prolonging life in older patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
NCT04588025
The goal of this study is to investigate whether the therapeutic response of pancreatic tumors can be accurately assessed using quantitative DCE-MRI, when the inter/intra-scanner variability is reduced using the Point-of-care Portable Perfusion Phantom, P4. The intra-scanner variability over time leads to errors in therapy monitoring, while the inter-scanner variability impedes the comparison of data among institutes. The P4 is small enough to be imaged concurrently in the bore of a standard MRI scanner with a patient for real-time quality assurance. The P4 is safe, inexpensive and easily operable, thus it has great potential for widespread and routine clinical use for accurate diagnosis, prognosis and therapy monitoring. This study has identified two arms, one arm is healthy individuals that will undergo DCE MRI at three different MRI locations to establish baseline results. The healthy volunteers will undergo these MRIs prior to the second arm, which contains patients with pancreatic cancer. The pancreatic cancer patients will only have DCE MRI done at one location.
