Trial summary

The investigators hypothesize that the CXCR2 ligands/CXCR2 biological axis plays an important role in promoting angiogenesis in PC; and that the genetic changes and the microenvironment of the tumor regulate the expression of CXCR2 ligands/CXCR2 in PC in order to potentiate their angiogenic phenotype.

About this study

The investigators hypothesize that the CXCR2 ligands/CXCR2 biological axis plays an important role in promoting angiogenesis in PC; and that the genetic changes and the microenvironment of the tumor regulate the expression of CXCR2 ligands/CXCR2 in PC in order to potentiate their angiogenic phenotype. A corollary of this hypothesis is that the cell surface receptors (CXCR2) and the intracellular signaling pathways that mediate the angiogenic responses induced by ELR+ CXC-chemokines are potential targets for novel therapeutic interventions in PC.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT00851955
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1. Normal pancreas patientsPatients with no documented clinical history of pancreatic diseases supported by at least 1 negative imaging test (EUS, CT scan or MRI).
2. Chronic pancreatitis patientsPatients with documented diagnosis of moderate to advanced chronic pancreatitis supported by at least 1 positive imaging test (EUS,CT scan or MRI).
3. Pancreatic cancer patientsPatients with documented tissue diagnosis (or clinical suspicion) of Pancreatic Cancer.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. All cause mortality

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. For pancreatic patients from whom tissue samples will be available, we will examine the association between presence/absence of each marker in the tissue versus the marker level in blood and in pancreatic juice.

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

All cause mortality (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jan 2016.
