Every treatment that has ever made a difference in cancer care was once a part of a clinical trial. MUSC Hollings Cancer Center is committed to offering the best treatments available today while searching for even better ones for the future. Ask your doctor if a clinical trial is right for you.
STUDY15844 A Phase III Trial of Perioperative Versus Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Resectable Pancreatic Cancer This phase III trial compares perioperative chemotherapy (given before and after surgery) versus adjuvant chemotherapy (given after surgery) for the treatment of pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery (removable/resectable). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before and after surgery (perioperatively) may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to giving chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvantly).

STUDY17022 First in Human, Phase 1/1b, Open label, Multicenter Study of Bifunctional EGFR/TGF ß Fusion Protein BCA101 Monotherapy and in Combination Therapy in Patients with EGFR Driven Advanced Solid Tumors The investigational drug to be studied in this protocol, BCA101, is a first-in-class compound that targets both EGFR with TGFβ. Based on preclinical data, this bifunctional antibody may exert synergistic activity in patients with EGFR-driven tumors. Study Information
STUDY17262 Combination of Autophagy Selective Therapeutics (COAST) in Relapsed Gynecological Cancers, Relapsed Prostate Cancer, or other Advanced Solid Tumors, a Phase I/II Trial Autophagy is a cancer cell survival mechanism that is involved in cancer growth, treatment resistance, and metastasis. Hydroxychloroquine and nelfinavir mesylate are agents that inhibit the process of autophagy. Metformin, dasatinib, and sirolimus stress autophagy. Study Information
STUDY20051 Randomized Phase II Trial of Postoperative Adjuvant Capecitabine and Temozolomide Versus Observation in High Risk Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors This phase II trial studies the effect of capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery in treating patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery could prevent or delay the return of cancer in patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Study Information
STUDY20988 A Phase II Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy of RO7198457 Versus Watchful Waiting in Patients With ctDNA Positive, Resected Stage II (High Risk) and Stage III Colorectal Cancer To demonstrate superiority of RO7198457 compared to watchful waiting in terms of DFS in chemotherapy pre-treated patients.
