Proteomics of the effects of Gemcitabine with IV omega-3 fish oils in patients with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. | Open to recruitment | Collecting blood samples from patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer to look for proteins that may provide an indication of being more susceptible to cancer. |
Randomised controlled trial on the effects of parenteral fish oil emulsion in critically ill septic patients. | Open to recruitment | To investigate whether intravenous omega-3 fish oils can help improve or speed up recovery from severe infection. |
Assessment of mannose-binding lectin dependent pathway deficiency in the pancreatic islet auto-transplant patient. | Open to recruitment | Collecting blood samples from patients to investigate whether some people may recover better than others following an islet transplant. |
Randomised controlled trial of plasma and cellular uptake of oral EPA & DHA with or without exogenous lipase supplementation in healthy volunteers. | In set-up | To determine whether people absorb omega-3 fish oils better when taken with an enzyme that aids digestion. |
Informed consent: assessment of optimum information for major HPB procedures. | In set-up | To investigate whether it causes people to become more anxious when they receive more in-depth information on risks and benefits when signing their consent form before an operation. |
The mechanistic role of fish oils in micro RNA expression and therapeutic effects in pancreatic cancer. | In set-up | To investigate in close detail how fish oil “switches” on and off certain genes in patients with pancreatic cancer. |
