Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study is a dynamically adjustable prospective longitudinal study designed to capture biospecimen (biopsy, blood, surgical) and multimodal treatment-related data (imaging, dosimetry, clinical) before, during, and after treatment with definitive-intent chemoradiotherapy for patients with locally advanced cervical and pancreatic cancer.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting blood and tissue samples from patients with cervical or pancreatic cancer who are receiving radiation therapy, to understand how radiation affects the immune environment around the tumor. This could help researchers develop better combinations of radiation with immunotherapy in the future. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have cervical cancer or pancreatic cancer - You are planning to receive radiation therapy for your cancer - You are in reasonably good health (ECOG performance status 2 or below) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - There is a medical or physical reason that makes it unsafe to collect the required blood or tissue samples, as determined by your treating doctor Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

OTHERTumor collection via biopsy

Cervical cancer: Pre-radiation therapy, 1 week after beginning radiation therapy, 3 weeks after beginning radiation therapy, and recurrence. Pancreatic cancer: pre-stereotactic body radiotherapy, 12 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, and recurrence.

OTHERBlood collection

Cervical cancer: pre-radiation therapy, 1 week after beginning radiation therapy, 3 weeks after beginning radiation therapy, 6 weeks after completing radiation therapy, 12 weeks after completing radiation therapy, and recurrence. Pancreatic cancer: pre-stereotactic body radiotherapy, 6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, 12 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, surgery (if applicable), and recurrence

DEVICEDiffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Cervical cancer: initial staging, 12 weeks after completing radiation therapy, and recurrence. Pancreatic cancer: initial staging, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) simulation, 12 weeks after completing radiation therapy, and recurrence. The imaging will be performed when possible.
