This study is a database evaluating data in patients with chronic pancreatitis that are seen and evaluated in a surgery clinic and ultimately under surgery for chronic pancreatitis with total pancreatectomy with islet cell transplant. Patients will receive the standard of care for this operation. This is not a clinical trial, and no changes will be made to their care. Data will be collected to review outcomes only. They may be asked to fill out study related questionnaires or surveys.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with previously untreated, locally advanced, and metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma PDAC. This study is testing two treatment regimens: NALIRIFOX (5-fluorouracil, liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin) vs mGAP (gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, and cisplatin).
The primary purpose of this study is to see which of the two regimens is more effective in PDAC. Participants will continue on study medications if seeing clinical benefit, and can expect to be on the study for a maximum of 6 months.
This study is for patients who have had surgery for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET). This study is being done to find out if giving chemotherapy after surgery is better or worse than the usual approach for patients that have had surgery for pNET.
Islet transplantation is a clinical procedure to treat patients with chronic pancreatitis after removal of their pancreases. Islet survival is influenced by several factors, including but not limited to triggering an inflammatory response. The loss of islet cells during transplantation can cause surgical diabetes, in which the patient will need insulin injections to regulate their blood sugar. The goal of this study is to test whether co-transplantation of the patient's stem cells, called mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), along with their islet cells, will protect transplanted islet cells from death, therefore reducing the patient's chances of getting surgical diabetes. MSCs can modulate immune cells and are a promising resource for cell-based therapy.
This study is for patients with pancreatic cancer. The purpose is to see if researchers can increase the chance of pancreatic cancer staying away by giving them chemotherapy before and after surger
