Dr Simon Pacey is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students.
As a Medical Oncologist trained in early drug development, my research interests are: Early phase clinical trials (phase I/II) and Urological malignancy (prostate cancers). My projects are centered around the transition of new drugs into humans and exploring and proposing new treatments paradigms for men with early/ localised prostate cancer. My clinical trial portfolio includes a significant proportion of investigator-led, locally sponsored clinical trials.
Examples of open clinical trials include:
Do Changes in ctDNA Predict Response for Patients With Oesophageal Cancer Receiving Durvalumab. Chief Investigator, investgiator-led. NCT03653052
Basket Study of Entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the Treatment of Patients With Solid Tumors Harboring NTRK 1/2/3 (Trk A/B/C), ROS1, or ALK Gene Rearrangements (Fusions) (STARTRK-2). UK Chief Investigator. NCT02568267
Cambridge Liquid Biopsy and Tumour Profiling Study for Patients on Experimental Therapeutics Trials. Co-PI, investigator led. NCT02994511
A Study of the CD73 Inhibitor LY3475070 Alone or in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Participants With Advanced Cancer. NCT04148937
Study to Evaluate CCS1477 in Advanced Tumours. NCT03568656
Abiraterone Acetate in Combination With Tildrakizumab. NCT04458311
Recent projects include:
- Chief Investigator Cambridge Neoadjuvant Carcinoma of the Prostate (CANCAP) studies: Clinical studies of investigational drugs prior to radical prostatectomy, clinicatrials.gov identifiers NCT02064608 (AZD2014), see GU ASCO 2017 and NCT02324998 (Olaparib)
- Therapeutics in Active Surveillance, TAPS study of apalutamide NCT03365297
- Pre-clinical studies to investigate effect of mTOR inhibition in early, hormone sensitive prostate cancer
