Intraluminal Bile duct high dose rate brachytherapy for malignant biliary tract obstruction

Brachytherapy is a cancer treatment that involves placing a radioactive source directly into cancerous tissue. It delivers high doses of radiation to tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. This technique is commonly used for prostate, breast, gynecological, and now bile duct cancers. During the procedure, radioactive seeds are precisely placed near the tumor, guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This ensures the maximum radiation dose reaches the tumor while reducing impact on nearby organs. The primary objective of this study is prolonging stent patency and improving Quality of Life. The secondary objective is to improve Overall Survival.

Quebec Pancreas Cancer Study

The Quebec Pancreas Cancer Study is a prospective clinic-based study consisting of clinical, family history and epidemiologic data, with accompanying biospecimens, from patients diagnosed with either pancreas cancer, a related cancer or a related pre-cancerous condition, and their families.

Liver Transplantation for Early Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is increasingly common in patients with liver cirrhosis, but these patients are denied liver transplantation (LT) by most centres due to historically poor results. Two retrospective evaluations have shown a 5 year survival \\~65% in selected patients with an iCCA diagnosis at the pathology of the explanted liver. This suggests that LT can be a curative treatment if applied selectively. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of LT as a treatment for very early iCCA diagnosed in cirrhotic patients who meet the strict selection criteria. Patients with advanced cirrhosis (not candidates for resection) currently have no other curative treatment options. Participants will be allowed bridging therapies prior to receiving transplant. Participants will be followed for 5 years from the time of transplant with patient survival and disease recurrence as outcome measures.

A Study of SGN-B7H4V in Advanced Solid Tumors

This study will test the safety of a drug called SGN-B7H4V in participants with solid tumors. It will also study the side effects of this drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating the disease.

A Study Evaluating Bemarituzumab in Solid Tumors With Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2b (FGFR2b) Overexpression

The primary objectives of this study are to observe the safety and tolerability of bemarituzumab and to evaluate preliminary antitumor activity.

MK-7684A With or Without Other Anticancer Therapies in Participants With Selected Solid Tumors (MK-7684A-005) (KEYVIBE-005)

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab co-formulation (MK-7684A) with or without other anticancer therapies in participants with selected advanced solid tumors. The primary hypothesis is that pembrolizumab/vibostolimab co-formulation is superior to pembrolizumab alone in terms of objective response rate or progression-free survival in participants with cervical cancer.

Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors (MK-3475-158/KEYNOTE-158)

In this study, participants with multiple types of advanced (unresectable and/or metastatic) solid tumors who have progressed on standard of care therapy will be treated with pembrolizumab (MK-3475).

Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in Combination With Propranolol and Chemotherapy for Treatment of Advanced Hepatopancreabiliary Tumors (BLOCKED)

A single-arm, interventional study combining Immunotherapy and propranolol with/without chemotherapy and propranolol 1. Pancreatic Cancer Durvalumab will be administered once every 4 weeks, in combination with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (day 1/8/15) and continuous propranolol. Tremelimumab will be given on day 1 of cycle 1, which may be repeated at the time of progression in eligible patients. 2. HCC Durvalumab will be administered once every 4 weeks in combination with continuous propranolol. Tremelimumab will be given on day 1 of cycle 1, which may be repeated at the time of progression in eligible patients. 3. Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC, Cholangiocarcinoma of the gallbladder or bile ducts) Durvalumab will be administered once every 3 weeks, in combination with cisplatin + gemcitabine (day 1/8) and continuous propranolol. Tremelimumab will be given on day 1 of cycle 1, which may be repeated at the time of progression in eligible patients.

Le Collectif Canadien pour le cholangiocarcinome (C3) est financé par une subvention d'équipe révolutionnaire de la Société Canadienne du cancer en partenariat avec les Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada. Les fonds de la subvention pour le C3 sont gérés par l'Institut de recherche de l'Hôpital d'Ottawa, qui sert d'institut principal pour toutes les opérations collaboratives.
