Trial summary

Human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1) is a membrane transporter which is a predicting marker for gemcitabine chemotherapy. However, there is a limited evidence of it as an indicator for adjuvant gemcitabine chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Adjuvant Gemcitabine Versus 5-FU/Leucovorin Based on hENT1 Immunostaining After Curative Surgery of Pancreatic Cancer

Human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1) is a membrane transporter which is a predicting marker for gemcitabine chemotherapy. However, there is a limited evidence of it as an indicator for adjuvant gemcitabine chemotherapy. In this study, investigators try to investigate the role of hENT1 as a indicator of selection of adjuvant chemotherapy regimen between gemcitabine and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).

Read the detailed description

After surgical resection of pancreatic cancer, the tissue is immunostained by hENT1 antibody. The grades of immunostaining are categorized as 0 (0%), 1 (<50%), and 2 (>=50%). According to the grade, patients with grade 0 or 1 will be treated with 5-FU and those with grade 2 will be treated with gemcitabine. After the study, investigators will calculate the overall survival and recurrence free survival of the patients and investigate the role of hENT1 as a predictive biomarker for adjuvant gemcitabine chemotherapy.

What participants receive

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

  • hENT1Biological

    hENT1 is a membrane transporter for gemcitabine. According to the hENT1 staining, patients will be treated with gemcitabine or 5-FU.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing hENT1 in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 Sep 2017. 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 South Korea. 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?

Recurrence free survival (time frame: Upto 24 weeks). 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 NCT02486497, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Sep 2017.
