What participants receive

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

  • gemcitabine and cisplatinDrug

    The study consists of three phases; Induction chemotherapy phase:Starting 4~8 weeks after R0 resection of pancreatic cancer. Gemcitabine: 1200mg/㎡ (Day 1, 8), cisplatin 60mg/㎡ (Day 1) every 3 weeks for 2 cycles. Chemoradiotherapy phase: Starting 1-2 weeks after completion of induction chemotherapy (within 5 weeks after D1 of 2nd cycle of induction chemotherapy), no later than 16 weeks after operation. Gemcitabine 300mg/㎡ weekly for 5 weeks throughout RT period. Radiotherapy: 50.4Gy at 1.8Gy/Fx, for 28 Fx (Field reduction at 45Gy) for 5.5 pweeks. Maintenance chemotherapy phase: Within 4 weeks after completion of chemoradiotheray, no later than 6 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy Gemcitabine: 1200mg/㎡ (Day 1, 8) every 3 weeks, for 4 cycles

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gemcitabine and cisplatin in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 2 sites 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 8 inclusion and 11 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 19 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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?

recurrence/metastasis free survival (time frame: 24 months). 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 19 Jul 2011.
