About this study

Official title: Feasibility of Biodynamic Imaging for Predicting Effect of Gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel on Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas

The purpose of this study is to determine if you can use an assay on tumor samples to see different patterns in response to the same chemotherapy treatment.

Read the detailed description

To examine the feasibility of using biodynamic imaging (BDI) as a chemosensitivity assay on fresh tumor samples obtained by core needle biopsy from patients planned to receive routine care gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel for treatment of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

Pancreatic Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. BDI as a chemosensitivity assay on fresh tumor samples

    To examine the feasibility of using BDI as a chemosensitivity assay on fresh tumor samples obtained by core needle biopsy from patients planned to receive routine care gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel for treatment of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

    Measured: up to 336 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. BDI patterns and results with Response Evaluation Criteria

    To compare BDI patterns consistent with chemotherapy response ex-vivo to response to chemotherapy as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria.

    Measured: up to 336 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer, run by Patrick Joseph Loehrer Sr..

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 10 inclusion and 2 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

BDI as a chemosensitivity assay on fresh tumor samples (time frame: up to 336 days). 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 10 Jul 2019.
