About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Ki67 Proliferation Index of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasia Between Preoperative Micro-biopsies and Surgical Specimens

This is a retrospective, monocentric study involving 50 patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia resected between January 2008 and June 2020 at Paoli Calmettes Institute.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the grade concordance rate, based on Ki67 obtained on the pre-operative micro-biopsy and the surgical specimen.

Based on the histology slides obtained in the course of the treatment, several Ki67 recounts will be performed on pre-operative tumor micro-biopsies and on tumors resected after surgery:

  • a manual count (on photo printed in the hotspot area according to World Health Organization (WHO) 2017 recommendations, by an expert pathologist and a junior pathologist.
  • Automated counting using specific software based on artificial intelligence (Qpath software).

On the other hand, clinical, surgical and anatomopathological data will be collected in order to follow the patient evolution.

    Measured: on pre-operative micro-biopsies

  2. Ki67 Grade

    Evaluation by a pathologist by manual counting according to WHO 2017 recommendations

    Measured: on surgical specimens

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Ki67 positive cells on total counted cells

    Evaluation by a pathologist by manual counting according to WHO 2017 recommendations

    Measured: on preoperative micro-biopsies

  2. Percentage of Ki67 positive cells on total counted cells

    Evaluation by a pathologist by manual counting according to WHO 2017 recommendations

    Measured: on surgical specimens

  3. Percentage of Ki67 positive cells on total counted cells

    Evaluation by digital pathology before and after machine learning

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neuroendocrine Tumors, run by Institut Paoli-Calmettes.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 18 Feb 2021. 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?

Ki67 Grade (time frame: on pre-operative micro-biopsies). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Feb 2021.
