About this study

Official title: Autologous Cytokine-induced Killer Cells Combined Chemotherapy in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: A Prospective, Randomized, Open, Single Center Phase II Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cytokine induced killer cells combined chemotherapy is more effective in the treatment of advanced Pancreatic Cancer.

Read the detailed description

Pancreatic cancer is a devastating malignant disease with a median survival of 3-6 months and a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. It is necessary to explore more treatment mode to pancreatic cancer especially advanced stage patients. This study is a prospective, randomized, open, single center phase II study. The investigators try to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this treatment mode.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression Free Survival

    Measured: From the date of randomization to the date of first documented progression up to 24 months

  2. Quality of life assessed by Questionnaire

    Measured: one year by questionnaire

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cytokine-induced Killer Cells and Tegafur-Gimeracil-Oteracil Potassium in people with Advanced Cancer, run by Henan Cancer Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 12 inclusion and 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2020. 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 China. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Study halted prematurely and will not resume). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Overall Survival (time frame: From the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause up to 36 months). 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 NCT03002831, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 2 Apr 2020.
