Background \- Recent advances in cancer research have led to new therapies to treat the disease. It is important to continue these advances and discover new ones. To do that, researchers need tissue samples from solid tumors. This study will collect such samples from people already scheduled to have a …
BOLD-100 is an intravenously administered sterile solution containing the ruthenium-based small molecule. BOLD-100 has been shown to preferentially decrease the expression of GRP78 in tumour cells and ER stressed cells when compared to normal cells. BOLD-100 will be combined with cytotoxic FOLFOX chemotherapy in this study, with a dose escalation …
Numerous studies have shown that even when imaging does not reveal the presence of cancer cells, traces of tumor DNA (i.e. originating from cancer cells) can be detected in the blood of certain patients: this is called molecular residual disease (MRD). When such traces are detected (we speak of MRD+ …
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most fatal malignancies with a 5-year survival rate of only \~6%\[1\]. The reasons for this high mortality rate can be attributed to several factors, of which perhaps the most important is delayed diagnosis due to vague symptoms and consequently missed opportunities for surgical resection. …
This is a non-therapeutic exploratory observational precision oncology study designed to collect and analyze data that demonstrate the clinical efficacy and tolerability of personalized treatments based on molecular tumor profiling assessments (i.e., matched therapy) in adult pancreatic cancer patients. Patient medical records, obtained both retrospectively and prospectively, will be examined …
The goal of the PROPH-ITA Study is to perform genetic testing in family members of pancreatic cancer patients who may have a genetic predisposition. The subjects belong to the Italian Registry of Families At Risk of Pancreatic Cancer (IRFARPC, #NCT04095195). This investigational study will assess the genetic background of subjects …
The investigators' goal is to conduct a prospective multicenter study to evaluate the yield and outcomes of screening of pancreas cancer in individuals who are at-risk for pancreatic cancer. We plan to use International Cancer of the Pancreas Screening (CAPS3) Consortium recommendations to standardize study population, screening methodology, and study …
The goal of this clinical trial is to improve patient care after acute kidney injury (AKI). It has three related parts. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is creatinine or cystatin a more reliable assessment of kidney function after AKI? What are the experiences of patients after AKI? …
IRFARPC is a multicenter national registry designed to study the diagnosis and predisposing factors of subjects with an inherited increased risk for pancreatic cancer.
The proposal is to implement a molecular screening program for advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer patients before the initiation of 1st line treatment in order to allow a better selection of patients for rationale personalized medicine with targeted agents and/or combination involving a chemotherapy backbone.
