About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Diagnostic Efficacy of Perfusion CT Using Wide Detector for Staging and Response Prediction After Chemotherapy in Pancreatic Cancer

The purpose of this study is

  1. to determine whether the perfusion parameters in the normal pancreas and the pancreas cancer (adenocarcinoma or neuroendocrine tumor) are different on perfusion CT
  2. to determine whether initial perfusion parameters as well as perfusion parameter change in pancreas adenocarcinoma before and after chemotherapy are different between chemotherapy response group (CR, PR according to RECIST 1.1) and non response group (SD, PD according to RECIST 1.1).
Read the detailed description
  1. Performance of preoperative perfusion CT for preoperative staging is assessed by comparing with operative finding and histologic disease staging
  2. Estimation of initial or change of pancreas cancer perfusion parameters and whether those can provide cut-off value for predicting response of chemotherapy in patients with pancreas adenocarcinoma

What participants receive

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

  • iopromideDrug

    Also called Ultravist® (370mgI/mL)

    1. iopromide (370mgI/mL) enhanced perfusion CT will be performed within 14 days of operation.
    2. In patients who are planned to receive chemotherapy, iopromide enhanced perfusion CT was performed twice; within 14 days before starting 1st cycle and within 14 days after finishing 2nd cycle.
    3. iopromide (370mgI/mL) will be administered intravenously with an amount of 30mL (body weight[BW] <50kg) or 35 mL (50kg ≤BW <70kg) or 40 mL (70 kg≤BW <90kg) or 50 mL (90≤BW), followed by saline infusion (30mL).
    4. Injection rate is as follows; 6.0mL/sec if BW is <50kg, 7.0 mL/sec if BW is 50kg≤and <70kg, 8.0 mL/sec if BW is 70≤and<90kg and 9.0mL/sec if BW is 90kg≤.
  • CTProcedure or surgery

    1. Perfusion CT will be performed by using a 320 channel MDCT
    2. Patients are requested for fasting for at least 8 hours before CT scan.
    3. Patients are requested for doing shallow breathing as slow as possible and wide strap is applied during CT scan.
    4. Scan range is limited to the whole pancreas and it focuses to the pancreas tumor lesion.
    5. During perfusion CT, 19 phases (ten phases with two seconds interval and six phases with three seconds interval and three phases with five seconds interval) are obtained in fifty three seconds.
    6. ADIR 3D and SURE EXPOSURE 3D are applied during perfusion CT to minimize radiation dose.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the correlation between the initial perfusion parameters of the tumor and response of the chemotherapy

    Initial perfusion parameters (blood volume, blood flow and permeability) are compared between CTx-responder and non-responders after 6 cycle of the scheduled chemotherapy, using RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: after 6 cycles of the planned chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Correlation between change of perfusion parameters and the chemotherapy response

    Perfusion parameters (blood volume, blood flow, and permeability) change between initial perfusion CT and second perfusion CT (which is taken after 2 cycle of the CTx) are compared between CTx-responder and non-responder after finishing 6 cycles of CTx according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: after 6 cycles of the chemotherapy

  2. Perfusion parameters among different pancreas tumors

    Perfusion parameters (blood volume, blood flow and permeability) are compared among the different types of the pancreas tumors to investigate perfusion parameters can help characterization of the tumors.

    Measured: within 2 months after finishing enrollment

  3. comparison of perfusion parameters among the pancreas tumors and parenchyma

    blood volume, blood flow and permeability are compared between the tumor and the pancreas parenchyma.

    Measured: within three weeks before pancreas tumor surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adenocarcinoma, Pancreas and Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of Pancreas, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 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.

Are results available for this study?

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?

Evaluation of the correlation between the initial perfusion parameters of the tumor and response of the chemotherapy (time frame: after 6 cycles of the planned chemotherapy). 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 8 Oct 2020.
