About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy With Gemcitabine for Resectable Pancreatic Carcinoma

This phase II study is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative chemoradiotherapy with gemcitabine (400mg/m2, weekly) for resectable pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the complete (R0) resection rate for patients with and resectable pancreatic cancer treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy and curative surgery. An experimental arm that result a complete resection rate of at least 90% would merit further study. With 90% power to reject that null hypothesis that the true complete resection rate is ≤75% with a type I error level of 5%, evaluable 53 patients are required. Considering the 20% unevaluable patients due to the immediate distant metastasis after treatment7, 8, 17 and 10% follow up loss, a total of 64 eligible patients will be enrolled.

What participants receive

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

  • chemoradiotherapy with GemcitabineRadiation

    All patients will receive gemcitabine 400 mg/m2 as an intravenous 30-min infusion on day 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29 with radiotherapy.After 4-6 week from end date of chemoradiotherapy, patients undergo preoperative evaluation including CT, PET, CA19-9, CEA. If the patient is feasible for resection on this evaluation, the surgery is performed in 1 to 2 weeks. After surgery, patients will receive gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 as an intravenous 30-min infusion on day 1, 8, and 15 for every 28 days. Subjects will be treated for at least 1 cycle and to a maximum of four cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy unless there is documented relapse, unacceptable adverse events or withdrawal of consent.

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete resection rate

    To evaluate the impact of preoperative chemoradiotherapy with gemcitabine by analyzing complete resection rate (R0).

    Measured: Within the first 30 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical outcomes

    To investigate the association between radiologic, histopathologic response, complete resection rate of preoperative chemoradiotherapy with gemcitabine and clinical outcomes, such overall survival and disease-free survival.

    Measured: Up to 3years from a initial follow-up

  2. The association between biomolecular markers and clinical outcomes

    To investigate the association between biomolecular markers and clinical outcomes (including tumor response and complete resection rate, etc.)

    Measured: Up to 3years until study closed

  3. The feasibility and compliance

    To evaluate the feasibility and compliance (acute and late toxicity, esp. gastrointestinal tract toxicity) of preoperative chemoradiotherapy with gemcitabine for resectable pancreatic cancer.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing chemoradiotherapy with Gemcitabine and Radiation: chemoradiotherapy with Gemcitabine in people with Resectable Pancreatic Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 10 inclusion and 22 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Apr 2020. 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 South Korea. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Recruitment delay). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Complete resection rate (time frame: Within the first 30 days after surgery). 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 6 Apr 2020.
