About this study

Official title: Duodenal Spectroscopy Study for Cancer Diagnosis

Purpose of this study is to understand the clinical feasibility of duodenal spectroscopy to adenocarcinoma patients.

Read the detailed description

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the most lethal of all major cancers with a five year survival rate of 5 %. While stage I and II tumors leads to an improvement in survival, almost all PCs are currently diagnosed at more advanced non-resectable stages since minimally invasive technique which is capable of screening early-stage PC does not exist. Serum CA19-9 is not recommended as a screening technique because of its low sensitivity and specificity. Imaging modalities such as MRI, CT, EUS and ERCP are more accurate but are not appropriate screening tools due to their high cost, discomfort and complications. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a screening tool with high sensitivity and specificity which is highly acceptable for the patient. The investigators would like to look at the spectroscopy technique for pancreatic cancer diagnosis via an upper endoscopy. A definite diagnosis of the patient is made with histology, cytology or imaging diagnosis. Therefore this study can be positioned as a feasibility study.

What participants receive

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

  • Spectroscopy deviceOther

    Spectrum data are collected using spectroscopy device via an instrumental channel of endoscope. Then spectrum data is analyzed. Numerical features (spectral slope and width of spectrum) are used for statistical analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. The spectral data of the normal cohort and UICC stage II pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cohort

    To clarify that there is the statistically-significant difference between two cohorts.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The sensitivity and specificity to detect UICC stage II pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma among all participants.

    A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) is evaluated. A cut-off is then chosen from this ROC curve to maximize both sensitivity and specificity.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Spectroscopy device in people with Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, run by Olympus Corporation at 4 sites in 3 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 7 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, Belgium, 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?

The spectral data of the normal cohort and UICC stage II pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cohort (time frame: 1 year). 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 7 Mar 2017.
