About this study

Official title: Clinical Registry on Treatment Reality and Sequential Treatments of Patients with Resectable or Locally Advanced/metastatic Pancreatic Cancer in Real-life Practice in Germany

The registry aims to collect and analyse information on the antineoplastic treatment of patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer, treated in palliative intention (cohort 1) and patients with localized, resectable pancreatic cancer treated in neo-adjuvant or adjuvant intention (cohort 2) in daily routine practice in Germany. The registry will follow up patients for two years. It will identify common sequences of treatments used as well as changes in the treatment of the disease. Health-related quality of life will be analysed during the course of the treatment (PanLife). Based on the available data a prognostic score will be developed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreas Cancer, run by iOMEDICO AG at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2025. 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 Germany. 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?

Treatment reality in Germany (time frame: over 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02089269, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 30 Jan 2025.
