About this study

Official title: PREOPERATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY DOES NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT SHORT-TERM OUTCOME AFTER PANCREATIC RESECTION.

No comparative trial investigating the effect of preoperative chemotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer on short-term postoperative outcome has been published so far. The aim of the present study is to assess the potential impact of preoperative chemotherapy on short-term postoperative outcome after pancreatic resection in a case-matched series of cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Between 2003 and 2011, patients with locally advanced (stage III) pancreatic cancer who were treated with preoperative chemotherapy (PCHT) underwent surgical resection. Each patient was matched with the closest two patients with pancreatic cancer ( control group ) selected from our prospective electronic database who met the following match criteria: age (+/- 3 years), gender, ASA score, type of resection, pancreatic duct diameter (+/- 1 mm), and tumour size (+/- 5 mm).

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pancreatic resection after preoperative chemotherapy and Pancreatic resection in people with Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, run by Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 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 24 Dec 2012. 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 Italy. 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?

Postoperative morbidity rate (time frame: Postoperative. From 0 to 30 days after discharge). 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 24 Dec 2012.
