Intraoperative Endoscopic Ultrasound for Pancreatic Cancer

Nowadays pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest oncological pathologies. The only effective curative tool is the surgery. Before the intervention, an endoscopic ultrasound is performed on the patient to carry out the biopsy of the main tumor. In this study, the echoendoscopie will be extended to lymph node staging away from the surgical field in order to implement a simple classification of lymph nodes, based on non-invasive ultrasound criteria. This would facilitate the location and qualification of peripancreatic lymph nodes and distant from the tumor, and therefore the staging of the tumor.

Palliative Pancreatic Duct Stenting in Patients With Inoperable Pancreatic Cancer

Patients with pancreatic cancer often suffer from chronic abdominal pain, weight loss and decreased quality of life. The patients also often need pancreatic enzyme supplements. In this prospective study the aim is to see whether patients undergoing palliative pancreatic duct drainage will experience less chronic abdominal pain and a higher quality of life than patients with the same diagnosis without the procedure. The study also investigates whether the nutritional state of the patients with palliative stents remains better than in the control group.

A Single-center Study on the Efficacy and Safety of AI-assisted Navigation System for Pancreatic EUS

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers. Survival rates vary largely depending on the stage at which it is diagnosed. EUS is considered one of the most sensitive modalities for pancreatic cancer detection. To avoid a missed diagnosis of the pancreatic cancer, the continuity and integrity of EUS needs to be ensured as much as possible. The station approach in pancreatic EUS has been established as the standard scanning procedure. Complete anatomical scanning is helpful for the identification of standard stations, and its imaging findings can assist in the diagnosis of pancreatic lesions and guide patient treatment and prognosis. But EUS is highly operator-dependent and the learning curve is steep. In this study, we constructed a deep learning-based pancreatic scanning navigation system in EUS, which can assist in identifying important anatomical structures adjacent to the pancreas in real time. In order to improve the quality of EUS and reduce the missed diagnosis of pancreatic lesions.

Liposomal Irinotecan Plus 5-FU / LV Combined With Paricalcitol in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer Progressed on Gemcitabine-based Therapy

Given the efficacy of nanoliposomal irinotecan as a second-line regimen in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), together with the favorable toxicity profile of paricalcitol and its interplay with irinotecan metabolism, the investigators propose a second-line pilot study in advanced PDAC that will enroll patients who have progressed on a gemcitabine-based regimen.

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.

Perioperative MVT-5873, a Fully Human Monoclonal Antibody Against a CA 19-9 Epitope, for Operable CA 19-9 Producing Pancreatic Cancers, Cholangiocarcinomas, and Metastatic Colorectal Cancers

Background: Gastrointestinal tumors have a molecule called CA19-9 in the tumors and blood. The agent MVT-5873 was designed to block this molecule. Researchers want to test how safe it is to give this agent to people before and after surgery to remove a tumor. They want to learn the highest dose tolerated. They want to see if getting the agent at surgery helps slow down the disease. Objective: To test the safety of giving MVT-5873 at surgery to remove cancer and see if it slows the progression of the disease. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with certain cancers and certain blood CA19-9 levels Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and heart tests Scans Review of normal activities Review of tumor sample Pregnancy test A few days before surgery, participants will get a dose of the study agent. They will get it through a small plastic tube in a vein over about 2 hours. Participants will sign a separate consent and have the surgery. A sample of the tumor and normal liver will be removed for research. For 1-2 weeks after surgery, participants will recover in intensive care then regular care at the hospital. They will be monitored and treated throughout the stay. After leaving the hospital, participants will get the study agent every week for 1 month. Then they will get it every other week for 2 months. They will repeat screening tests at study visits and at a follow-up visit. That will be about 5 weeks after the last dose.

Familial Investigations of Childhood Cancer Predisposition

NOTE: This is a research study and is not meant to be a substitute for clinical genetic testing. Families may never receive results from the study or may receive results many years from the time they enroll. If you are interested in clinical testing please consider seeing a local genetic counselor or other genetics professional. If you have already had clinical genetic testing and meet eligibility criteria for this study as shown in the Eligibility Section, you may enroll regardless of the results of your clinical genetic testing. While it is well recognized that hereditary factors contribute to the development of a subset of human cancers, the cause for many cancers remains unknown. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has expanded knowledge in the field of hereditary cancer predisposition. Currently, more than 100 cancer predisposing genes have been identified, and it is now estimated that approximately 10% of all cancer patients have an underlying genetic predisposition. The purpose of this protocol is to identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants. For this study, the investigators will establish a Data Registry linked to a Repository of biological samples. Health information, blood samples and occasionally leftover tumor samples will be collected from individuals with familial cancer. The investigators will use NGS approaches to find changes in genes that may be important in the development of familial cancer. The information gained from this study may provide new and better ways to diagnose and care for people with hereditary cancer. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Establish a registry of families with clustering of cancer in which clinical data are linked to a repository of cryopreserved blood cells, germline DNA, and tumor tissues from the proband and other family members. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: Identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants in families with clustering of cancer for which the underlying genetic basis is unknown.
