Optimizing Adjuvant Therapy for Resected Pancreatic Cancer
(Posted: 06/15/2010, Updated: 03/08/2011) - In this clinical trial, patients with resected pancreatic head cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either gemcitabine with or without erlotinib for 5 treatment cycles. Patients who do not experience disease progression or recurrence will then be randomly assigned to undergo an additional cycle of the same chemotherapy regimen with or without subsequent chemoradiation using either 5-FU or capecitabine.
Combining Chemotherapy and a PARP Inhibitor for Advanced Solid Tumors
(Posted: 11/03/2009) - In this clinical trial, patients who have solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or that have spread to other areas of the body will be treated with the PARP inhibitor AZD2281 and chemotherapy drugs cisplatin and gemcitabine.
Immunotherapy for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
(Posted: 04/25/2006, Updated: 06/13/2008) - In this trial, researchers are using a monoclonal antibody called MDX-010 to treat patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. MDX-010 binds to and blocks the activity of an immune response inhibitor molecule called CTLA-4.
Adjuvant Biological Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer
(Posted: 10/10/2006, Updated: 01/15/2008) - In this trial, patients with completely resected pancreatic cancer will receive adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy plus additional treatment with either bevacizumab or cetuximab, monoclonal antibodies that target different proteins important for cancer growth and spread.
Gene Therapy for Metastatic Cancer
(Posted: 11/21/2006) - In the trial, researchers will harvest normal T lymphocytes from patients' blood and modify these immune system cells to recognize p53 protein, a common hallmark of many cancers. The modified cells will be enriched in the laboratory and then infused back into the patients.
