  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients who will be treated with any of the first line chemotherapy treatments at the participating site approved for the treatment of Metastasic Pancreatic Cancer (MPC) will be included consecutively according to the criteria set. Therefore, the choice of therapeutic strategy will be made according to usual clinical practice and independently by the doctor before assessing the possible involvement of the patients in the study and their corresponding inclusion in it.

  • Informed consent in writing or orally before witnesses.
  • The decision to prescribe any treatment will be clearly dissociated from the patient's inclusion in the study. Therefore, the choice of therapeutic strategy will be made according to usual clinical practice and independently by the doctor before assessing the possible involvement of the patients in the study and their corresponding inclusion in it

About this study

Official title: Observational Cohort Study of Health-related Quality of Life in Patients Initiating Treatment With Chemotherapy for Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

This is an observational, post-authorization, prospective follow-up, multi-centre, national study designed to describe the spectrum of health-related quality of life in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer previously untreated with chemotherapy This study is designed to observe patients treated in routine clinical practice, without the exclusion limitations of a clinical trial. Patients will be enrolled in 7 Spanish sites. In all cases, the decision to treat patients will be performed prior to the decision to include the patient in the study.

Given the observational nature of the study, follow-up of patients will be performed according to standard clinical practice of each site.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Neoplasms, run by Celgene at 12 sites in Spain.

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 7 inclusion and 4 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 25 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Spain. 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?

Patients with mild improvement in Quality of life questionnaire - Current standard version 3.0 (EORTC QLQ-C30) scoring (time frame: Up to 18 months). The study lists 15 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Jan 2019.
