Cholesterol Disruption in Combination With FOLFIRINOX in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Cardiovascular diseases and cancers, the two leading causes of death in Canada, require cholesterol to sustain their progression. All cells require cholesterol, but cancer cells have much higher needs to sustain growth, division and metastasis. The availability of new cholesterol-lowering drugs developed to protect patients from heart diseases has resulted in unprecedented low levels of cholesterol. The combination of atorvastatin, ezetimibe and Repatha, which are 3 cholesterol-lowering drugs used in combination, is safe, well tolerated and efficient over years of treatment. Recent reports indicate that abundant cholesterol supplies are required to sustain the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas. This proof-of-concept study aims to verify the feasibility, the acceptability and gain preliminary data on adding a cholesterol shortage on top of FOLFIRINOX (standard chemotherapy) in newly diagnosed patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinomas. It is expected that a drug-induced cholesterol shortage will slow-down or stop the progression of pancreatic adenocarcinomas while increasing the response to chemotherapy.

LS301 Uptake in Tumors of Patients Undergoing Liver, Pancreas, or Gastric Surgery

The preclinical data have demonstrated the feasibility of fluorescence-guided tumor resection by the Cancer Vision Googles (CVG) with LS301 in animal models. In this study, the investigators will conduct intraoperative imaging procedures that have minimal interference with ongoing surgery. The underlying hypothesis is that the accurate detection of all cancer cells highlighted by LS301 during surgery will reduce the number of patients with margin positivity to less than 5%, compared to the current surgical paradigm of greater than 15% in pancreatic cancer, for example. The pilot study will obtain critical data required to address the larger question of surgical margin assessment in a full Phase I clinical trial.

Start: July 2021

Preoperative Prehabilitation for Sarcopenic Patients Prior to Pancreatic Surgery for Cancer

Major digestive surgery is associated with a significant rate of postoperative complications. To improve postoperative outcome, efforts are focused on postoperative course leading to the concept of rehabilitation. However, the rehabilitation concept does not allow to improve muscular and functional reserves at the time of surgery. Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Also, the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with cancer is high and has a prevalence of around 25% in patients with pancreatic cancer, with a considerable impact on postoperative and survival outcomes. The hypothesis is the preoperative management of sarcopenia by a rehabilitation program could improve patients' operative outcomes by reducing the rate of postoperative complications.

Preoperative Biliary Drainage in Malignant Biliary Obstruction

The first alarming symptom of a malignancy of the pancreas or periampullary tumor can be obstructive jaundice (OJ). Pancreato-duodenectomy (PD) combined with oncological treatment can provide long disease-free survival in resectable cases. The literature regarding the preoperative biliary drainage is controversial. The aim of this multicenter, prospective observational cohort study is to investigate the role of preoperative drainage, and to compare it with surgery alone.
