About this study

Official title: Cytopathologic Margin Evaluation in Patients Undergoing Pancreatic Cancer Resection

This study is being done to investigate another way of evaluating margin status after pancreatectomy by using cytopathology (slide interpretation) as compared to the traditional method of surgical pathology

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To compare margin status on final pathology with margin status from cytopathologic evaluation.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo cytopathologic sample collection during pancreatic resection during which slides are gently pressed against the cut edge of the pancreas, the surgical bed, and along the superior mesenteric artery, and finally against the tumor itself.

Being tested
cytology specimen collection procedure
Keywords
pancreatic cancer, adenocarcinoma, pancreatic resection
Medical subject headings
Pancreatic Neoplasms, Adenocarcinoma

Diagnostic (cytopathologic evaluation)ExperimentalPatients undergo cytopathologic sample collection during pancreatic resection during which slides are gently pressed against the cut edge of the pancreas, the surgical bed, and along the superior mesenteric artery, and finally against the tumor itself.
Receives: Other: cytology specimen collection procedure

What is being measured

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

  1. Local recurrence at the site of resection

    Will be evaluated in a Cox proportion hazards regression model. The prognostic ability of the histological reporting of the specimen margin as well as the cytopathological reporting of the specimen and in situ margins will be evaluated.

    Measured: up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cytology specimen collection procedure in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Adenocarcinoma, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 2 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 9 Jun 2017. 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?

Local recurrence at the site of resection (time frame: up to 2 years). 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 9 Jun 2017.
