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.
NCT06168812
The purpose of this study is to find out how effective and safe glipizide is for lowering blood sugar in people with pancreatic cancer.
NCT06922591
TNG462-C102 is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and preliminary antineoplastic activity of oral TNG462 in combination with RMC-6236, RMC-9805, mFOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. The study comprises a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase.
NCT07201194
The study explores whether acupuncture as a supplement to conventional antiemetic medicine is superior in reducing the level of chemotherapy induced nausea compared to conventional anitemetic medicine alone. A total of 90 patients experiencing chemotherapy induced nausea will be allocated 1:1 to either acupuncture and antiemetic medicine or antiemetic medicine alone. The level of nausea and other cancer related symptoms will be assessed at baseline and 8 and 22 days after enrollment
NCT07086352
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. The majority of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and nearly 50% present with distant metastases at the time of diagnosis. Despite advances in chemotherapy, such as FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine-based regimens, the prognosis of metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC) remains extremely poor, with median overall survival typically ranging between 6 to 11 months. The pattern of metastasis in pancreatic cancer commonly involves the liver, peritoneum, lungs, and distant lymph nodes. Several studies suggest that the site and extent of metastatic disease may influence survival outcomes, although findings remain inconsistent. For example, liver metastases are frequently associated with worse prognosis, whereas isolated lung metastases may indicate a more indolent disease course. Understanding the prognostic significance of different metastatic sites may provide insight into disease biology and help guide clinical decision-making. In addition, identifying clinical and pathological factors associated with extended survival could inform treatment stratification, optimize resource allocation, and guide patient counseling. However, limited data exist regarding the predictors of long-term survival in mPC patients, particularly in real-world clinical settings. Therefore, this retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the influence of metastatic sites on overall survival and to identify potential predictive factors for extended survival among patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. This information could contribute to more individualized prognostic assessments and potentially support the development of tailored therapeutic strategies.
NCT06921252
The recurrent pancreatic cancer (Rec-PC) after radical surgery is sometimes eligible to clinical trial of chemotherapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer. However, the difference between Rec-PC and primary metastatic pancreatic cancer (PM-PC) did not know well. Thus, whether Rec-PC and PM-PC should be included in the same category when conducting clinical trials evaluating chemotherapy remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference of overall survival (OS) between Rec-PC and PM-PC, and analyze their impact on prognosis.
NCT06888648
This study is a single-arm phase I/II clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness of evaluate the feasibility and safety of personalized tumor neoantigen mRNA therapy (iNeo-Vac-R01) in combination with PD-1 antibody and standard chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
NCT05254171
The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of standard treatment with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine with or without SBP-101 in subjects previously untreated for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), including subjects who have received prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment.
NCT04799431
Phase 1 study evaluating feasibility, safety, and immune response to a personalized neoantigen vaccine combined with retifanlimab for MMR-p mCRC and mPDAC patients with measurable disease following first-line FOLFIRINOX/FOLFOXIRI (FFX).
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
NCT04677192
This study is a prospective, single center, single arm, phase II clinical study in patients with liver metastasis after radical resection of pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical value of microwave ablation combined with chemotherapy for liver metastasis after radical resection of pancreatic cancer about overall survival, and to determine the feasibility and safety of the scheme.
