  • Patient must sign study specific informed consent prior to study entry

Who cannot join

  • Prior surgical resection of any pancreatic malignancy
  • Prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless disease free for a minimum of 3 years
  • Any prior chemotherapy or radiation for treatment of the patient's pancreatic tumor.
  • Prior radiotherapy to the region of the study cancer that would result in overlap of radiation therapy fields

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of grade 2 or greater toxicity

    Number of incidence of grade 2 or greater toxicity

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants with no further growth of cancer at original site (Local control)

    Count subjects with no further growth of cancer at original site.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Count subjects with Recurrence of cancer in other body sites

    Compare recurrence locations of treated patients relative to historical controls.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Time to Progression of pancreatic cancer

    Duration of progression free survival of treated patients

    Measured: 4 years

  4. Time to death

    Measure duration of survival of treated patients.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Preoperative SBRT in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Adenocarcinoma, run by University of Rochester at 1 site in United States.

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 18 inclusion and 12 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 18 Jul 2022. 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 United States. 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?

Incidence of grade 2 or greater toxicity (time frame: 2 years). 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 18 Jul 2022.
