About this study

Official title: Combination of Cancer Ablation and Life Information Rehabilitation Therapy for Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer

The aim of this study is the synergistic effect of cancer ablation and life information rehabilitation therapy on unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

By enrolling patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer adapted to enrolled criteria, this study will document for the first time the synergistic effect of cancer ablation and life information rehabilitation therapy. The efficacy will be evaluated according to local relief degree, progress free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Being tested
Cancer ablation, Life information rehabilitation therapy
Keywords
Cancer ablation, Life information rehabilitation therapy

What participants receive

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

  • Cancer ablationDevice

    Also called Cryoablation or irreversible electroporation

    Tumors bigger than 2 cm are fit for ablation therapy, percutaneously under CT scan or ultrasound

  • Life information rehabilitation therapyDrug

    Also called "Qilisheng" Immunoregulatory Oral Solution

    Each treatment: one bottle solution each day, consecutive 3 months, oral administration

Study groups in NCT03239184
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cancer ablationActive comparatorIn this group, the patients will receive ablation therapy (e.g. cryosurgery or irreversible electroporation) first for big tumors (> 2 cm). The check indexes are CT scan and blood tests (including tumor markers, lymphocyte subsets and circulating tumor cell).
Receives: Device: Cancer ablation
Life information rehabilitation therapyActive comparatorIn this group, the patients will drink "Qilisheng" Immunoregulatory Oral Solution for consecutive 3 months. The check indexes are CT scan and blood tests (including tumor markers, lymphocyte subsets and circulating tumor cell).
Receives: Drug: Life information rehabilitation therapy
Combination therapyExperimentalIn this group, the patients will receive the combination therapy including ablation and life information rehabilitation therapy. The ablation therapy (e.g. cryosurgery or irreversible electroporation) will be performed first for big tumors (> 2 cm), then "Qilisheng" Immunoregulatory Oral Solution will be provided for consecutive 3 months. The check indexes are CT scan and blood tests (including tumor markers, lymphocyte subsets and circulating tumor cell).
Receives: Device: Cancer ablation; Drug: Life information rehabilitation therapy
ControlNo interventionIn this group, the patients will receive no special treatment and as a control group. The check indexes are CT scan and blood tests (including tumor markers, lymphocyte subsets and circulating tumor cell).

What is being measured

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

  1. Relief degree of tumors

    It will be evaluated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST)

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progress free survival(PFS)

    The duration between treatment and cancer recurrence

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Overall survival(OS)

    The duration between treatment and patient pass away

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Cancer ablation and Life information rehabilitation therapy in people with Unresectable 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 25 Jan 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 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Relief degree of tumors (time frame: 3 months). 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 25 Jan 2019.
