PDAC Regression and Intraoperative Surgical Margin With Neoadjuvant TAMP (PRISM-TAMP)

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer with poor survival outcomes, even when treated with modern chemotherapy and radiation. Patients with borderline resectable PDAC often receive neoadjuvant systemic therapy to improve the likelihood of successful surgical removal of the tumor, but rates of incomplete tumor regression and positive surgical margins remain high. This Phase Ib/II, single-arm study evaluates the safety and feasibility of adding trans-arterial microperfusion (TAMP) delivery of gemcitabine to standard neoadjuvant therapy for patients with borderline resectable PDAC. In this study, patients receive standard systemic chemotherapy with modified FOLFIRINOX followed by stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). After completion of chemoradiation, gemcitabine is delivered directly to the tumor through the arterial blood supply using the RenovoCath® catheter system. Gemcitabine is an FDA-approved chemotherapy drug for pancreatic cancer, and the study is evaluating a novel method of delivering the drug rather than a new medication. The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant TAMP-delivered gemcitabine in this treatment setting. Secondary objectives include evaluation of surgical margin status and pathologic tumor regression following surgical resection. Exploratory analyses will examine relapse-free survival. Results from this study will help determine whether this locoregional chemotherapy approach can be safely integrated into neoadjuvant treatment strategies for patients with borderline resectable PDAC.

EUS-guided CTCs + Multi-omics: Predicting Pancreatic Cancer Recurrence and Metastases

The investigators conduct a single-center, prospective, observational study to explore the value of EUS-guided portal vein circulating tumor cells (PV-CTCs) and their subtypes combined with multi-omics tests in the early warning of recurrence and metastasis of resectable pancreatic cancer(RPC) and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC).

Chemotherapy With or Without IMD10 (Focused Ultrasound) in the Treatment of Borderline Resectable or Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

The purpose of this Interventional clinical trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy of 'IMD10 (focused ultrasound)' in the treatment of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer or locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

A New Clinical Pathway for Personalized Management of Borderline Resectable and Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

NORPACT-3 is a nationwide, Norwegian single arm prospective study that evaluates the resectability rates and survival in patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer who received primary chemotherapy. Eligible patients are treated with primary chemotherapy possibly followed by surgical exploration and resection. All Norwegian centres performing pancreatic surgery have agreed to collaborate in this trial. The assignment of the medical intervention is not at the discretion of the investigator, but follow the national Norwegian guidelines regarding diagnostic work up, oncological and surgical treatment and follow up. The primary aim is a national resection rate of 50% in BRPC and 15% in LAPC in patients initiating primary chemotherapy, with adequate overall survival and morbidity/mortality (after resection median overall survival of 24 months, 1 year survival 80%, and 5 year survival \>20% + 90 day postoperative mortality ≤5%, 90-day postoperative major morbidity (Clavien Dindo grade 3) ≤40%).

Irinotecan Liposome II in Combination With 5-FU/LV and Oxaliplatin in Perioperative Treatment of Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

This is a prospective, single-arm, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of irinotecan liposome II in combination with oxaliplatin and 5-FU/LV in perioperative treatment of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer in 45 patients.
