Gemcitabine and Cisplatin With or Without CPI-613 as First Line Therapy for Patients With Advanced Unresectable Biliary Tract Cancer (BilT-04)

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and efficacy of CPI-613 (devimistat) in the treatment of advanced biliary tract cancer when used in combination with standard of care chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) compared to gemcitabine plus cisplatin alone. This research study has two parts: In the phase 1 portion of this study, patients will receive a combination of CPI-613 and standard of care chemotherapy. Dose levels of CPI-613 will be adjusted to find the best dose, which will be the recommended phase 2 dose level. In the phase 2 portion of this study, patients will be randomized into two arms. Patients in Arm A will receive the combination of the recommended dose level of CPI-613 and standard of care chemotherapy. Patients in Arm B will receive standard of care chemotherapy. At the end of the study, researchers will compare the health outcomes of the patients that received CPI-613 + standard care to the outcomes of patients that received only standard care.

Monitoring of patIents With Microdialysis Following Pancreaticoduodenectomy

A pancreaticoduodenectomy is performed in patient with pancreatic cancer. The most common and serious complication is leakage between the intestine and the remnant pancreas after this procedure. It occurs in 20-30%. The result is often prolonged hospital and ICU stay, reoperations and deaths (3-5%). To detect a leakage early before the patient becomes seriously ill, thereby initiating treatment is therefore very important. By inserting a thin microdialysis catheter near the anastomosis between pancreas and intestine before closure of the abdominal wall, the investigators will analyze substances such as lactic acid, pyruvate, glycerol, etc. and if these substances may reveal anastomosis leakage at an early stage. Observational studies have shown that if a leakage occurs, glycerol concentration in the microdialysate will rise significant after few hours, and changes in lactic acid and pyruvate values will change as a sign of inflammation. The investigators want to conduct a randomized study comparing patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy and using microdialysis in half of the included population.

Biomarker Discovery in Patients With Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer

Biliary tract cancer is a rare gastrointestinal malignant neoplasm and includes intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and gall bladder cancer. Curative surgical resection offers the only chance for cure. However, most patients with BTC are diagnosed at an unresectable stage. Therefore, the survival outcomes of patients with advanced biliary tract cancer remain dismal. The combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin has become the current standard for advanced BTCs since the landmark ABC-02 trial in 2010. However, the median overall survival of Gem/Cis chemotherapy is less than 1 year. Recently, a triplet regimen of gemcitabine, cisplatin, and nab-paclitaxel showed promising results in a single-arm phase II multicenter study. However, biliary tract cancer is a group of heterogenous diseases by site and genetic alteration, and this diversity may lead differences in response to systemic chemotherapy. Transcriptome analysis through RNA-sequencing has rarely been performed in advanced biliary tract cancer, and even if it has performed, only small number of patients were included. Further research on multi-omics data is needed on the necessity and clinical significance in treatment of biliary tract cancer.

Feasibility Study of Multi-Platform Profiling of Resected Biliary Tract Cancer

This study is going to test the ability to successfully obtain results from certain personalized tests for patients with biliary tract cancers that are able to be surgically removed. Through surveys, this study will also evaluate the usefulness of these tests to medical oncologists as they make decisions on what standard or experimental treatments might benefit the patient's enrolled in the study. The study is observational and does not require any change in the standard approach to treating biliary tract cancer. Results of the personalized tests will be provided to the treating medical oncologist and the medical oncologist can choose to whether or not to change management based on these results. These personalized tests include reading of the cancer DNA, testing whether a panel of drugs can kill a patient's cancer cells in a test tube, and testing for small amounts of cancer DNA in the blood as a way to check for the presence of leftover cancer in the body after it is removed surgically. This study will also give extra pieces of cancer, that would otherwise be discarded, from surgery for laboratory research into how biliary tract cancers respond to drugs and the body's immune system. The investigators hypothesize that the drug screen test will, in some cases, be useful to the medical oncologist and may lead to the use of cancer drugs that would not otherwise have been chosen based on standard guidelines or based on cancer DNA testing. The investigators hypothesize that the test tube drug screening method will correlate with how the cancer responds to the drugs in real life for those patients that end up receiving a drug that was included in the drug screen panel. The investigators hypothesize that monitoring of cancer DNA in the blood stream will help us predict which patients are most likely to have their cancer return after surgery. The investigators also hypothesize that in many cases the appearance of cancer DNA in the blood stream will happen weeks to months prior to the cancer showing up on usual body imaging or other lab tests. Finally, the investigators hypothesize that, for patients undergoing medical treatment for their cancer, trends in the amount of cancer DNA in the blood stream will correlate with the effectiveness of treatment.

Pembrolizumab in Biliary Tract Cancer

This is a single-arm, multi-centre, phase II study in biliary tract cancer (BTC) patients. The main objective is to detect an increase in progression-free survival rate at 6 months (according to RECIST version 1.1) from 60% in patients with BTC treated with standard chemotherapy (CT) approach to 75% when treated with CT combined with pembrolizumab. Secondary objectives are: Assess the treatment efficacy in terms of overall survival, immune related progression-free survival, response rate (according to RECIST version 1.1), safety, symptom control and quality of life (QoL) (according to EORTC QoL C30 and BIL 21) Exploratory objectives include assessment of immunological response (cytokines, lymphocyte phenotype, immunoglobulins), and evaluation of pathological and clinical predictive factors for response/toxicity Translational research will focus on biomarkers for prediction of response and toxicity.

CIRcular and Non-coding RNAs as Clinically USeful Biomarkers in Pancreaticobiliary Cancers

Define the circRNA expression profile in PDAC and identify dysregulated circRNA candidates. These will be validated in further tissue samples. Evaluate candidate circRNA Expression in blood (plasma samples) as a clinically relevant diagnostic biomarker; expanding on the primary objective to include other diagnostic features such as specificity, area under the receiver operator curve, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. Explore the expression of candidate circRNAs and related molecules in patient biomaterials (including tissue, blood, bile and biopsy samples) as biomarkers for diagnosis; prognostication; association with clinico-pathologic features and survival outcomes; and their ability to predict/monitor treatment response e.g. surgery and/or chemotherapy. Utilise computer-based analyses to describe the theoretical interactions of candidate circRNAs within the full complement of RNA and related molecules produced by the tumour cells, called the 'transcriptome', in human PDAC.
