Trial summary

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the fourth cause of death in the Western world. About 40% of pancreatic cancer patients were diagnosed as locally advanced unresectable status without distant metastasis. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) was a reasonable treatment modality for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the fourth cause of death in the Western world. About 40% of pancreatic cancer patients were diagnosed as locally advanced unresectable status without distant metastasis. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) was a reasonable treatment modality for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. However, several adverse events of chemoradiation could lead unfavorable treatment results, which included unique gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities, such as ulcer and hemorrhage in the stomach and duodenum that are included in the radiation field. According to the study in the investigators hospital, 45% of locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients treated with CCRT suffered from GI ulcers, and among them, 65% of the patients experienced the significant hemorrhage events. Although these GI toxicities, the studies for radioprotective agents were limited. Albis® is a newly developed drug comprised of ranitidine, bismuth and sucralfate. The investigators will investigate the radioprotective effect of Albis® for locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients treated with CCRT.

What participants receive

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

  • Albis®Drug

    The patients take Albis® 2T orally twice a day during the period between start day of concurrent chemoradiotherapy and 1 month after the treatment. During the period receiving radiation, the patient are prescribed the medication by the 2 weeks, and after radiation, they receive the 1 month's medication.

  • PlaceboDrug

    The patients take placebo 2T orally twice a day during the period between start day of concurrent chemoradiotherapy and 1 month after the treatment. During the period receiving radiation, the patient are prescribed the medication by the 2 weeks, and after radiation, they receive the 1 month's medication.

What is being measured

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

  1. Gastrointestinal ulcer incidence

    After 1 month after the chemoradiation, all the patients receive the esophagogastroduodenoscopy to detect the development of gastrointestinal ulcers. The proportion of patients with radiation-induced GI ulcers in each group will be investigated

    Measured: within 4 weeks from end of chemoradiation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse event of gastrointestinal hemorrhage

    Measured: within 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Albis® in people with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by Yonsei University.

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 9 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 29 Jan 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 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?

Gastrointestinal ulcer incidence (time frame: within 4 weeks from end of chemoradiation). 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 29 Jan 2019.
