About this study

In this study, effects of γδT cells on human Pancreatic Cancer in combination with tumor reducing surgery, for example IRE going to be investigated.

Read the detailed description

Pancreatic tumor will be removed using tumor reducing surgery such as IRE. PBMC of the healthy donor will be separated from peripheral blood. After making them potential cancer killer γδ T Cell, they will be infused to the patients as an immunotherapy treatment.

Being tested
IRE surgery, IRE plus γδ T cells
Keywords
Immunotherapy, γδ T Cell, Pancreatic Cancer
Medical subject headings
Pancreatic Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • IRE surgeryProcedure or surgery

    IRE surgery will be used in local tumor

  • IRE plus γδ T cellsBiological

    Combination IRE surgery and γδ T cell will be used in Pancreatic Cancer

Study groups in NCT03180437
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group AActive comparatorIn this group, the patients will receive IRE surgery to control the local tumor under CT .
Receives: Procedure: IRE surgery
Group BExperimentalIn this group, the patients will receive multiple high-activity γδ T cell immunotherapies and IRE surgery
Receives: Biological: IRE plus γδ T cells

What is being measured

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

  1. PFS

    PFS was defined as the interval between treatment initiation and local relapse

    Measured: 2 years

  2. OS

    OS was calculated as the interval from treatment initiation to death.

    Measured: 2 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Tumor size

    The tumor responses of the enrolled patients were assessed by CT in accordance with RECIST v1.1.Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (v4.0).

    Measured: 3 months

  2. CTC

    The absolute number of CD45-CK+ CD326+ cells was used to quantitate the CTC levels.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. CA 19-9

    The serum concentrations of CA19-9 were evaluated by a chemiluminescent immunoassay before treatment and 90 days after treatment.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing IRE surgery and IRE plus γδ T cells in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Fuda Cancer Hospital, Guangzhou 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 7 inclusion and 5 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 2 Nov 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 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?

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?

PFS (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03180437, 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 2 Nov 2020.
