What participants receive

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

  • Microwave Ablation combination with chemotherapyCombination product

    Microwave Ablation combination with chemotherapy. Maximum tumor diameter ≤ 3cm, single microwave needle, maximum tumor diameter> 3cm, double ablation needle, the ablation range completely covers the lesion ≥ 0.5cm in order to obtain a satisfactory ablation margin. After the operation, contrast ultrasound is performed again to confirm the ablation edge. Enhanced MRI or CT to evaluate the ablation effect 4 weeks after surgery. Selection of chemotherapy regimen refers to the 2020 NCCN Guidelines for Pancreatic Cancer. First-line chemotherapy regimen: gemcitabine combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel or FOLFIRINOX; second-line chemotherapy regimen: If first-line chemotherapy based on gemcitabine, 5-FU-based regimen for second-line, If 5-FU-based regimen for first-line, gemcitabine for second-line.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Microwave Ablation combination with chemotherapy in people with Pancreatic Cancer Metastatic to Liver and Oligometastasis, run by Fudan University 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 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Yongqiang Hua, Deputy chief physician ((021)64175590 ext. 73915, keqiang1215@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

OS (time frame: 24months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04677192, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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 21 Dec 2020.
