About this study

Official title: Study of the Kinetics of Microparticles Under Chemotherapy in Patients With Gastric or Pancreatic Cancer

Microparticles have recently emerged as a thrombotic risk marker with a potential role in determining which patients are at greatest risk for developing thrombosis. Available data show an increase in the level of microparticles in cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy for solid tumors with a possible link to their thrombogenic state.

Our study focuses on the kinetics of microparticles under chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic or gastric cancer by serial measurements of microparticles procoagulant activity.

Detailed Description:

The impact of chemotherapy on microparticles expression will be assessed by measuring their procoagulant activity on blood samples taken during the course of chemotherapy. The thrombotic risk will be evaluated by the score of Khorana in parallel. Microparticles expression in patients with thrombosis will be compared to that in other patients.

What participants receive

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

  • kinetics of microparticles under chemotherapyProcedure or surgery

    Blood samples done before chemotherapy and 6 hours later for each of six chemotherapies required by the protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Microparticles level will be assessed by automated and standardised measure of their procoagulant power using Kit STA©Procoag-PPL (Diagnostica Stago, Asnière, France)

    Measured: Before chemotherapies #1 to #6

  2. Microparticles level will be assessed by automated and standardised measure of their procoagulant power using Kit STA©Procoag-PPL (Diagnostica Stago, Asnière, France)

    Measured: After 6 hours of chemotherapies #1 to #6

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. incidence of thrombosis during study

    Deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism

    Measured: Before chemotherapies #1 to #6 and one year after inclusion.

  2. Khorana score does assess the risk of thrombosis uner chemotherapy according to 3 levels :Score 0, 1, 2 or 3

    Score 0= low risk (incidence of thrombosis = 0.3%) Score 1 or 2= intermediate risk (incidence of thrombosis = 2%) Score >3 = high risk (incidence of thrombosis = 6.7%) The highest possible score is 6.

    Measured: Before chemotherapies #1 to #6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing kinetics of microparticles under chemotherapy in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Gastric Cancer, run by Poitiers University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 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 France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low recruitment). 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?

Microparticles level will be assessed by automated and standardised measure of their procoagulant power using Kit STA©Procoag-PPL (Diagnostica Stago, Asnière, France) (time frame: Before chemotherapies #1 to #6). 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?
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 17 Feb 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
