Stage IA Pancreatic Cancer

Eligibility:

All Genders

Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

This phase I trial is studying the side effects of RO4929097 before surgery in treating patients with pancreatic cancer. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some enzymes needed fo...

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the effects of neoadjuvant gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 on Notch inhibition via interrogation of Hes-1 expression in patients with pancreatic cancer. SECOND...
