Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Voluntary participation
  • 18-75 years old
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-1
  • Stage IV pancreatic cancer with no more than 3 liver metastases
  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
  • No contraindication of chemotherapy
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Primary tumor and liver metastatic sites are both resectable.
  • No new metastatic sites were observed
  • Abnormal serum tumor maker levels decreased by more than 50% after chemotherapy. In the serum tumor makers, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) was always the first choice for evaluation and it should be below 500U/L after treatment. However, when the baseline CA19-9 was within the normal range, carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were the alternative candidate indicators.

Who cannot join

  • Not want to receive chemotherapy or potential operation.
  • Metastases at other sites except for liver
  • With other malignancies
  • Receive chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and interventional therapy before
  • Contraindication of potential operation
  • 1. Contraindication of operation

About this study

This study is a multi-center phase 3 trial to evaluate a treatment strategy for selecting patients who can benefit from the synchronous resection of primary pancreatic cancer and liver oligometastasis after induction chemotherapy. Half of participants who meet the entry criterion will receive surgical intervention, while the other half will continue to receive standard chemotherapy.

Being tested
Synchronous resection of primary pancreatic cancer and liver oligometastasis, Standard chemotherapy
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Synchronous resection of primary pancreatic cancer and liver oligometastasisProcedure or surgery

    Patients undergo surgical exploration. If no extensive metastatic sites are found, the synchronous resection of primary pancreatic cancer and liver metastatic sites will be performed. Adjuvant chemotherapy was recommended, and the regimen selection is recommended to be based on the preoperative chemotherapy.

  • Standard chemotherapyDrug

    Patients continue to receive standard chemotherapy including folinic acid, fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX), gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, or gemcitabine plus S-1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Synchronous resection of primary pancreatic cancer and liver oligometastasis and Standard chemotherapy in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Liver Metastases, run by Fudan University 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 9 inclusion and 6 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 9 Oct 2018. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xianjun Yu, M.D., Ph.D. (+86-21-64175590 ext. 1307, yuxianjun@fudanpci.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Real overall survival (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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 NCT03398291, which also lists 6 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 9 Oct 2018.
