Trial summary

Rationale: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a malignancy with a poor prognosis. Resection is the only curative option and still 5-year survival rate is less than 10 percent. However, most patients present with advanced disease and are provided with palliative care. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Establishing Organoids From Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Patients, the OPT-I Study

Rationale: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a malignancy with a poor prognosis. Resection is the only curative option and still 5-year survival rate is less than 10 percent. However, most patients present with advanced disease and are provided with palliative care. The nature of the tumour and the intense stromal reaction around the tumour cells leave pancreatic adenocarcinoma relatively insensitive to chemotherapeutics. Current models, such as cell lines or patient derived xenografts, cannot provide predictive information in a clinically relevant timeframe. Organoids and organotypic culture systems have emerged as promising new culturing techniques that maintain some of the complexity of the tumour. As most patients are ineligible for tumour resection, this project will focus on metastases and will generate organoids from that tissue. Using a combination of organoids and organotypic systems, treatment (non)response can be predicted, which may provide a personalized treatment setting for patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Rationale: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a malignancy with a poor prognosis. Resection is the only curative option and still 5-year survival rate is less than 10 percent. However, most patients present with advanced disease and are provided with palliative care. The nature of the tumour and the intense stromal reaction around the tumour cells leave pancreatic adenocarcinoma relatively insensitive to chemotherapeutics. Current models, such as cell lines or patient derived xenografts, cannot provide predictive information in a clinically relevant timeframe. Organoids and organotypic culture systems have emerged as promising new culturing techniques that maintain some of the complexity of the tumour. As most patients are ineligible for tumour resection, this project will focus on metastases and will generate organoids from that tissue. Using a combination of organoids and organotypic systems, treatment (non)response can be predicted, which may provide a personalized treatment setting for patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Objective: To develop a model system and infrastructure to individualize the treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Additionally, we aim to identify predictors of therapy (non)response.

Study design: Observational laboratory studies (with DNA/RNA isolation, RNA sequencing, cell culturing, organoid culturing and xenografting) will be performed with tumour specimens. These organoids will be stored for future research.

Study population: All adult patients (> 18 years) with (a suspicion of) advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma

Main study parameters/endpoints: The development of organoids from biopsies of metastases or primary tumour tissue of pancreatic cancer that correlate with clinical response. These models are then analysed for the expression of bio markers in organoid, organotypic and xenograft models. DNA/RNA profiles will be correlated to clinical and pathological characteristics such as therapy response, survival and TNM classification.

Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Participating in this study requires a biopsy from the patient. The material will be obtained from the biopsy required for diagnosis or the patient is asked for consent for an additional tumor biopsy not required for diagnosis. The study could benefit patients as their organoids can be used to assess efficacy of first-line treatment and when necessary may provide an advice for second-line treatment options. Additionally, patients may benefit in the future, if biomarkers are found to predict therapy (non)response.

What participants receive

  • biopsies & blood analysesDiagnostic test

    They will take blood and a biopsy from the metastase in the patient

What is being measured

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

  1. Developing organoids from advanced pancreatic cancer patients that predict non response or response

    To assess whether there is a correlation between no response in patients and no response in organoids, a goodness of fit will be determined with Pearson's X2 test. Depending on the available data, the second scenario will be analysed similarly.

    When organoids cannot be established from biopsy material, then this will be recorded and linked to clinical parameters.

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Functional studies will be done with the patient derived organoids to find biomarkers that correlate with response in organoids and patients.

    Similarly to our primary study parameter, the value of prediction for a biomarker will be assessed.

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing biopsies & blood analyses in people with Carcinoma, Pancreatic Ductal, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 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 19 Jan 2021. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact M G van Mackelenbergh (020-5665955, m.g.vanmackelenbergh@amc.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Developing organoids from advanced pancreatic cancer patients that predict non response or response (time frame: 2 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 19 Jan 2021.
