Cancer Trials

Clinical trials in process for cancerous disease of the pancreas, liver and/or bile ducts:


1) UAB 0560 and Affiliate - A Phase I Study Evaluating the Role of an Anti-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Antibody, C225, as a Radiosensitizer with Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer


Primary Sponsor: NIH/NCI


PI: Pablo Arnoletti (UAB)


Affiliate PIs: Selwyn Vickers, Ed Greeno (UMN)


Study Nurse: Carrie McCann


This is a new phase I, open label, non- randomized dose escalation study using Gemcitabine, and a new anti-epidermal growth factor receptor antibody (Cetuximab, C225), and radiation for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Available to patients with locally unresectable disease.

Status: Open for enrollment




2) A Phase II Pilot Study of Multi-Agent Neo Adjuvant Chemoradiation in Patients with Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma


PI: Ed Greeno (UMN)


Study Nurse: Carrie McCann

Status: Open for enrollment



3) CS1008-A-U201 - Phase 2, multicenter, open-label study of CS-1008, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting death receptor 5 (DR5), in combination with gemcitabine in chemotherapy naïve subjects with unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer


Primary Sponsor: Daiichi Sankyo Pharma Development


Local PIs: Selwyn Vickers, Ed Greeno (UMN)


Study Nurse: Carrie McCann

This is a multicenter, phase II, open label study of CS-1008, a humanized, monomeric, bivalent, monoclonal IgG1 antibody, agonistic to the human death receptor 5 (DR5). The product was engineered from murine monoclonal antibody TRA-8. The proposed primary mechanism of anti-tumor activity of CS-1008 is induction of apoptosis through binding of DR5. Available to patients with locally unresectable disease or metastatic disease.


Status: Open for enrollment
