About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Laying a Biliary Stent for Producing a Heavy Chemotherapy in Unresectable Pancreatic Adenocarcinomas

For many years, the treatment of jaundice due to head pancreatic adenocarcinoma is based on the endoscopic biliary stent. This technique has been shown to be preferable to a surgical shunt.

Recently, adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX regimen (clinical trial) has revolutionized the treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma increasing overall survival in a major way. This design will also be developed in patients with neoadjuvant tumor called "borderline" (the limit of the resectability).

However, several conditions (protocol) are required to consider the implementation of this design : age ≤ 75 years, PS 0 or 1, good hematological parameters and bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the ULN.

In addition, a randomized study showed that preoperative biliary stent treatment, despite a success rate of 94%, is associated with more complications than surgery fast (related gesture bladder).

It would be interesting to analyze, prospectively, the fate of a series of patients with cancer of the pancreatic head with compression of the lower part of the bile duct, PS 0 or 1 and for which the only limit to FOLFIRINOX design is jaundice or high risk of jaundice.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the percentage of patients who, at Day 28 after the first attempt stenting (T0 = date of the first act), has received or is able to receive FOLFIRINOX.

    Measured: At day 28 after the laying of the biliary stent

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Rate of biliary infection starting within 3 months after insertion of the prosthesis

    Measured: From the laying of the biliary stent to 3 months follow up

  2. Prosthetic dysfunction within 3 months (recurrence of jaundice with dilated bile ducts)

    Measured: From the laying of the biliary stent to 3 months follow up

  3. Complication (s) other (s) (bleeding, perforation, ...) possibly attached (s) endoscopic treatment within 3 months.

    Measured: From the laying of the biliary stent to 3 months follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Type WallFlex or Evolution biliary, stent system in people with Adenocarcinoma of Head of Pancreas, run by Institut Paoli-Calmettes at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 26 Feb 2016. 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 France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Determine the percentage of patients who, at Day 28 after the first attempt stenting (T0 = date of the first act), has received or is able to receive FOLFIRINOX. (time frame: At day 28 after the laying of the biliary stent). 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 26 Feb 2016.
