About this study

Official title: Long-term Benefit of Elderly Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Patients After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

We used the SEER database to analyze the data of patients with PDAC. The database includes patients of 18 registries in the USA from 1973-2013All the malignant cases were followed-up annually to determine vital status.

The aim of Our study is to make clearly the long-term survival of younger (age <80 years) and elderly (age ≥80 years) pancreatic cancer patients underwent PD. Sec-ond, find out the risk factors of poor prognosis in elderly patients.

Read the detailed description

Database We used the SEER database to analyze the data of patients with PDAC. The database includes patients of 18 registries in the USA from 1973-2013, encompassing approxi-mately 28% of the USA population. All the malignant cases were followed-up annu-ally to determine vital status.

Patient Population All the variables' definitions are encoded in the SEER database. To identify the PDAC cases, site codes (C25 pancreas, C25.0-C25.9) and histology codes (8140 adenocarcinoma, 8500 infiltrating duct carcinoma) based on the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition (ICD-O-3) were used.11 Only cases that underwent PD and microscopically confirmed were included.

Outcome Variables We only included those PDAC patients that underwent PD with precise data available for the following variables: age at diagnosis, year of diagnosis, gender, race, tumor site, tumor size, regional nodes positive, regional nodes examined, grade, stage, vital status, and survival months.

To clearly differentiate the difference of long-term survival between young and elderly patients, all cases were divided into two group age < 80 years and age ≥ 80 years. Since 2004, the AJCC 6th stage has been used in the SEER database. Thus, the diagnosis years of the cases included in our study ranged from 2004-2013. To analyze the median OS between different time periods, we divided the year of diagnosis into two groups: 2004-2008 year and 2009-2013. Furthermore, we also divided the tumor size into three groups: ≤ 2 cm, 2-4 cm, and > 4 cm. The lymph node ratio (LNR) is considered a robust prognostic factor after resection of pancreatic cancer and was es-timated using regional nodes positive divided by regional nodes examined.15 LNR was then categorized into three groups: 0%, 1-50%, > 50%.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreas Cancer, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 6 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

median OS (time frame: to 2013 Dec. 31). 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 6 Sep 2018.
