Clinical Study of Radiotherapy Combined With Adebrelimab and NALIRIFOX for Conversion Therapy in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

This study intends to explore conversion therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). The intervention starts with modified stereotactic body radiation therapy (3-day regimen), followed by systemic therapy within 1-2 weeks after irradiation. Subsequently, the investigator will evaluate the resectability of the lesion. For subjects converted to resectable status, surgical resection will be performed, followed by postoperative adjuvant therapy. For subjects who remain unresectable but maintain stable disease, a second cycle of conversion therapy will be continued. If the lesion is converted to resectable, surgical resection will be performed followed by adjuvant therapy. If disease progression occurs, subsequent treatment will be carried out in accordance with the first-line treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer. For subjects who experience disease progression or distant metastasis, subsequent treatment will be administered by adjusting the chemotherapy regimen in accordance with the first-line standard regimen for advanced pancreatic cancer.

Breath Research Narrow Validation for Gastrointestinal Cancer Detection

The investigators of this study are developing a simple breath test to help detect gastrointestinal (gut) cancers earlier, including cancers of the oesophagus (food pipe), stomach, pancreas, liver and bowel. These cancers often cause non-specific symptoms that are similar to benign conditions, making early diagnosis difficult. Delays between the onset of symptoms and referral for a diagnostic test such as an endoscopy or a scan, can allow the cancer to progress. The breath test detects small molecules called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are released in exhaled breath. Some of these VOCs are strongly associated with these cancers and may help identify high-risk patients who require urgent investigation. In practice, patients who come to their GP with concerning symptoms will be offered the breath test. If the test is positive, patients can be referred promptly for a diagnostic test, while those with a negative result can be reassured and offered re-testing if symptoms persist. Earlier diagnosis could improve access to curative treatment while reducing unnecessary invasive investigations. Previous studies have identified a panel of VOCs that appear to distinguish patients with gastrointestinal cancers from those without cancer. This study aims to confirm these findings in a new group of participants to determine whether the same biomarkers can be reliably identified. Participants will provide a breath sample, usually before a hospital procedure they are already scheduled to undergo, and complete a short questionnaire about their medical history and medications. Some participants will also be asked to drink a nutritional supplement before providing a second breath sample. The results will help determine whether the breath test is reliable enough for further clinical evaluation

SKL35501 With SKL35502 Imaging in Adults With NTSR1 Positive Advanced Solid Tumors

This Phase 1, open-label study will evaluate two investigational radiopharmaceuticals in adults with selected advanced or metastatic solid tumors. SKL35502 is an imaging agent used with SPECT scans to identify tumors with neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1), a protein found on some cancer cells, and to assess where the agent travels in the body and the radiation dose delivered to tissues. Participants with sufficient SKL35502 tumor uptake may receive SKL35501, a treatment designed to deliver targeted alpha radiation to NTSR1-expressing tumor cells. Part A will evaluate the safety and imaging performance of SKL35502 and the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, dosimetry, and biologically active dose range of SKL35501, as well as preliminary antitumor activity. Part B will further evaluate selected SKL35501 dose levels, including randomized low- and high-dose groups in participants with colorectal cancer, and will expand evaluation in selected tumor types. The study will also examine relationships among SKL35502 imaging, NTSR1 expression, SKL35501 tumor uptake, and treatment outcomes.

EUS-Based Artificial Intelligence to Predict Outcomes in Pancreatic Cancer

The EUS-AI-R study is an observational, single-center, two-phase (retrospective-prospective) study designed to develop and validate artificial intelligence (AI) models for predicting chemotherapy response and oncological outcomes in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with tissue acquisition (EUS-FNA/FNB) for suspected pancreatic lesions at IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital between January 1st, 2019 and January 2026 will be retrospectively included. All patients have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of PDAC and a minimum follow-up of six months. These data derive from an IRB-approved institutional study (BIOPANCREAS; NCT06552078). Retrospective multimodal data, including EUS imaging (B-mode, elastography, contrast-enhanced EUS), clinical and laboratory variables, CT/MRI imaging, digital pathology, and molecular data when available, will be used to develop and internally validate multiple AI models. In the prospective phase, the best-performing AI model will be applied to an independent cohort of patients undergoing EUS at the same institution to evaluate feasibility, calibration, and real-world performance. No additional procedures beyond standard clinical practice will be performed.

Reach and Engagement of GENetic Education, Risk Assessment, and TEsting Feasibility Trial

This study will test a remote approach to help people who may be at higher risk for pancreatic cancer learn about and decide whether to get genetic testing and a blood test that looks for signs of several cancers (MCED testing). The study is focused on Black, Latino/a, and Medicaid-enrolled individuals who may have had less access to cancer genetics and early detection services. About 80 participants, who reside in Massachusetts, will be assigned by chance to receive either online education alone or online education plus a phone call with a trained educator from the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN). After the education, participants can choose whether or not to have genetic testing and/or MCED testing. The main goal is to learn whether this approach is practical to carry out, acceptable to participants, and delivered as planned. Participants will complete 3 surveys during study participation.

ctDNA Monitoring After Pancreatic Cancer Surgery (K-4CARE Lite Study)

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) carries one of the worst prognoses among solid tumors. Even after curative-intent resection, 70-80% of patients recur within two years. Current post-operative surveillance relies on computed tomography (CT) imaging and the serum tumor marker CA 19-9, but both have limited sensitivity for detecting microscopic residual disease. This single-center, prospective observational study evaluates the use of the K-4CARE Lite platform-a tumor-informed plus tumor-agnostic circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assay with a limit of detection of 0.005%-for dynamic monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with resected PDAC. Thirty adult patients who have undergone R0 or R1 (margin \<1 mm) resection at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital will be enrolled over 24 months. Each participant will provide one baseline tumor tissue sample (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded) and three serial blood samples at three pre-specified study timepoints: Timepoint 1 (Week 4 to Week 10 after surgery, before adjuvant chemotherapy); Timepoint 2 (12 weeks after Timepoint 1, approximately 3 months into adjuvant chemotherapy); and Timepoint 3 (at completion of adjuvant chemotherapy, approximately Month 6 after surgery). A fourth long-term follow-up phase (Timepoint 4) collects results from patient-funded ctDNA testing performed as part of routine care. The primary outcome is the cumulative MRD detection rate across the three pre-specified post-surgical timepoints (Timepoint 1, Timepoint 2, and Timepoint 3). Secondary outcomes include the association between ctDNA status and disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), molecular clearance rate at Timepoint 3, lead time of molecular relapse over imaging, and platform performance. ctDNA results are reported back to the treating physician for reference but do not mandate treatment changes-all clinical decisions remain at the physician's discretion per standard guidelines. This study aims to generate the prospective evidence base needed to design future ctDNA-guided interventional trials in pancreatic cancer.
