Trial summary

Pancreatic cancer is associated with an extremely poor prognosis, reflected by a 5-y survival probability of less than 5% when all stages are combined. At present, only approximately 10%-20% of patients are considered candidates for curative resection. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial Phase I for Evaluation of Tolerability and Safety of Replication-competent Adenovirus-mediated Double Suicide Gene Therapy in Combination With Chemotherapy for the Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer is associated with an extremely poor prognosis, reflected by a 5-y survival probability of less than 5% when all stages are combined. At present, only approximately 10%-20% of patients are considered candidates for curative resection. The majority of patients (50%-60%) are present with metastatic disease, and substantial number of patients (approximately 30%-40%) are considered ''locally advanced'' at the time of diagnosis.

Replication-competent Adenovirus-mediated Double Suicide Gene Therapy (Theragene®,Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP) showed an anti-cancer effect in patients with prostatic cancer in phase I study. From the experience of prostatic cancer, the safety of combination with standard chemotherapy with Theragene treatment is assessed in this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Theragene®,Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP 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 9 inclusion and 11 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 12 Sep 2019. 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.

What does this 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.

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?

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events assessed by CTCAE v4.03 (time frame: 8 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 NCT02894944, 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 12 Sep 2019.
