Trial summary

At present there is no validated prognostic tool for patients with resectable pancreatic cancer (RPC) to determine how best to tailor individual therapy. This study is to see if tumor features in blood and imaging prior to surgery correspond with tumor heterogeneity in the specimen after surgery. Read more about this study

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 years and older
  • All sexes

Who may be able to join

  • 18 years of age and older who have biopsy-proven resectable pancreatic cancer
  • Participants must have a histological diagnosis of pancreatic head ductal adenocarcinoma at least ≥ 1 cm from ampula.
  • Participants must be able to undergo all 3 imaging modalities.
  • Participants' medical statuses must be considered appropriate for surgery and for general anesthesia.
  • Female participants and female partners of male participants undergoing optional PET-CT or CT pancreatic protocol scan cannot be pregnant or nursing, as confirmed by serum pregnancy test if the patient is a woman of child-bearing potential.

Show all 10Show fewer
  • Adequate kidney and liver function as assessed by laboratory studies. Laboratory studies must be completed within 28 days prior to pimonidazole administration;
  • Must be capable of providing informed consent and demonstrate a willingness to comply with all the study procedures and visits;
  • Must be able to undergo MRI scans without having a pacemaker or other indwelling metal, which would contraindicate the scan.
  • Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 to 2.

Who cannot join

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Participants who are contraindicated for MRI or gadolinium contrast agents.
  • If the patient has an iodine contrast allergy, they must be able to take standard pre-medications so they can safely undergo a CT scan.
  • Participants with a known active cancer with a prognosis that would contraindicate a curative intent pancreatic resection.
  • Participants with depressed liver function, as assessed with a screening liver function test yielding serum ALT or AST greater than the IULN or total bilirubin greater than 2 mg/dL.
  • Presence of any other co-existing condition, which, in the judgment of the investigator, might increase the risk to the patient.

About this study

Official title: Total Tumor Mapping (TTM) for Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: Establishing the Radiomic/Pathologic Foundation of Heterogeneity

At present there is no validated prognostic tool for patients with resectable pancreatic cancer (RPC) to determine how best to tailor individual therapy. This study is to see if tumor features in blood and imaging prior to surgery correspond with tumor heterogeneity in the specimen after surgery.

Read the detailed description

This study is to prospectively determine whether there is a predictive relationship in RPC between pre-operative radiomic imaging features and pathologic tumor heterogeneity, delineated by gene-expression-based RSI and histologic measures of hypoxia measured by Glut-1 and CA-IX as well as the degree of pimonidazole staining.

Being tested
Pimonidazole, Surgical Resection
Medical subject headings
Pancreatic Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • PimonidazoleDrug

    Also called HydroxyProbe, Pimonidazole HCI

    Patients will take a single dose of 0.5 g/m^2 (approximately 13 mg/kg) of oral pimonidazole HCI 16 to 24 hours prior to surgery.

  • Surgical ResectionProcedure or surgery

    Also called Whipple Procedure, Pancreatoduodenectomy, Surgery

    Patients will undergo Pancreaticoduodenectomy or Whipple procedure, which involves the resection of the pancreatic head, duodenum, gallbladder, and a portion of the stomach, 16 to 24 hours after consuming oral pimonidazole.

Study groups in NCT03718650
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Scans, Surgical Resection and AssessmentExperimentalPre-surgery scans, surgical resection and post-surgery pathological assessment. All patients will receive standard of care imaging and blood tests. If suitable, non-standard of care abdominal MRI imaging will be done. 16-24 hours prior to surgery, patients will be administered a single dose of 0.5 g/m^2 pimonidazole (HydroxyProbe).
Receives: Drug: Pimonidazole; Procedure: Surgical Resection

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiosensitivity Index and Degree of Pimonidazole Staining

    Relationship between PET/CT, MRI or pancreas protocol CT features and the pathological correlations of radiation sensitivity and hypoxia, as measured by the radiosensitivity index (RSI) and degree of pimonidazole staining in resectable pancreatic cancer.

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlative Biomarkers

    Investigators will quantitiatively compare correlative biomarkers with the degree of pimonidazole staining and RSI. These biomarkers will include radiomic features from the preoperative imaging tests, serum CA 19-9, and histological markers for biological hypoxia, GLUT-1, and CA-IX. Data from all of these biomarkers will be available as continuous variables. The association between RSI (or % pimonidazole-positive pixels) and biomarkers will be assessed using the Spearman correlation analysis.

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Pimonidazole and Surgical Resection in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Resectable Pancreatic Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

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 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Feb 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 United States. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Radiosensitivity Index and Degree of Pimonidazole Staining (time frame: Up to 14 weeks). 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 8 Feb 2021.
