About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Proton and Carbon Ion Radiation Dose Escalation in Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

The aim of this study is to evaluate the toxicity and tolerance of proton and carbon ion radiotherapy (PCRT) for locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma (LAPC)

Read the detailed description

The proton dose of 50.4GyE in 28 fractions was delivered to clinical target volume (CTV), and carbon ion as a boost dose to gross tumor volume (GTV) escalated from 12GyE to 18GyE with 3GyE per fraction in 3 dose levels. The dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as CTCAE grade 3 or higher of non-hematological toxicity (G3). The acute and late toxicities, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), local progression-free survival (LPFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) were the endpoints.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing proton and carbon ion radiotherapy in people with Pancreatic Carcinoma, run by Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center 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 18 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 5 Mar 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 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.

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?

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (time frame: Time interval from the start of radiotherapy to 3 months after the completion of radiotherapy). 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 5 Mar 2020.
