About this study

Official title: Open-label Pilot Phase I / II Study on Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) After Macroscopically Complete Resection (R0/R1) of Adenocarcinomas of the Pancreas (PanHIPEC)

In patients with peritoneal metastases of colorectal cancer could be a radical removal of all tumor foci a significantly improved survival compared to a sole systemic chemotherapy are additionally achieved by a hyperthermic intraoperative chemotherapy (HIPEC).

Read the detailed description

Despite medical progress in recent years in pancreatic reach the 5-year survival rates even after radical surgical resection only 20%, which is due to high rates of local recurrence and distant metastases in the postoperative course. Due to the anatomical position of the pancreas resections are having a "wide margin" technically almost impossible, so that the tumor on postoperative preparation is often marginal forming. A further possible explanation for the high number of local recurrences, intraoperative tumor cell displacement in question.

In patients with peritoneal metastases of colorectal cancer could be a radical removal of all tumor foci a significantly improved survival compared to a sole systemic chemotherapy are additionally achieved by a hyperthermic intraoperative chemotherapy (HIPEC). Purpose of HIPEC it is to kill any remaining microscopic residual tumor or residual tumor cells free. The aim of the present phase I / II study is therefore to examine the importance of HIPEC in addition to radical resection of ductal pancreatic cancer in terms of mortality and morbidity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Gemcitabine in people with Adenocarcinomas of the Pancreas, run by University Hospital Tuebingen at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 20 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 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 Germany. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Stefan Beckert, Prof. Dr. (+49-7071-2981222, stefan.beckert@med.uni-tuebingen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

30 days mortality after macroscopically complete Resection ( R0 / R1 ) of an adenocarcinoma of the pancreas in combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) (time frame: day 30). 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 NCT02863471, 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 31 Oct 2017.
