Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if neoadjuvant therapy to increases resection rate for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to test the safety of high dose omeprazole and see what effects that it has on patients with exocrine pancreatic cancer.

Summary: 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...

Summary: This study assesses whether patients with pancreatic cancer who undergo surgery experience improved outcomes following the implementation of a multidisciplinary care pathway, specifically an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program. This pathway includes various interventions in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care of these patients, all aimed at enhancing their health st...

Summary: The two gut-derived hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) are secreted from intestinal cells in relation to a meal and increase insulin secretion from the pancreas. The hormones also exert effects outside the pancreas, but especially for GIP, these are poorly investigated. Because of this, only GLP-1 based drugs (GLP-1 receptor agonists) a...

Summary: This study elucidates the effects of the intravenous (IV) lidocaine infusion on the biology of pancreatic circulating tumor cells (CTCs) isolated from patients undergoing robotic pancreatectomy for all types of pancreatic cancer. A prospective randomized controlled double blinded trial design will be used for the proposed study.

Summary: Recent evidence suggests that postoperative hyperamylasemia (POH) is a predictor of morbidity after pancreatectomy. This is based on the assumption that pancreatitis after pancreatectomy (PPAP) is a major trigger for the development of complications and is indicated by hyperamylasemia. Standardized prospective analysis and correlation with other laboratory parameters, hasn't been performed to date...

Summary: The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether primary total pancreatectomy with simultaneous islet autotransplantation compared with pancreatic head resection (alone) can reduce perioperative morbidity and time to initiation of adjuvant therapy in patients with a high-risk constellation for pancreatic fistulas.

Summary: This will be a phase I/II trial examining the safety and tolerability of pre-operative mFOLFIRINOX in combination with peri-operative oral hydroxychloroquine (FHQ) in the treatment of subjects with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Subjects will be staged prior to protocol entry by contrast-enhanced helical abdominal CT scan done using a pancreas mass protocol or EUS. Eligible subjects with biopsy-p...

Summary: This is a clinical trial for chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients undergoing total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TP-IAT). Participants will be randomized to either bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or control with the standard of care. Participants will be followed for one-year post-transplant.

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to analyze if intraperitoneal drainage is necessary following distal pancreatectomy. This study aims to determine whether the omission of routine intraperitoneal drainage in the setting of reinforced staple technology is non-inferior to routine intraperitoneal drainage with respect to a composite post-operative complications of Grade B or C Postoperative pancreat...
