About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled, Blinded, Prospective Clinical Study Evaluating the Effect of Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine-needle Biopsy With Different Number of Passes on the Success Rate of Primary Cell Culture of Pancreatic Cancer

The Aim of this study is to investigate the amount of tissue required for the successful culture of primary cells from human-derived pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma which obtained by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy wet suction technique

Read the detailed description

Pancreatic cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the highest mortality rate in the world, with a 5-year survival rate of only 7.2%-9%. Because some patients are resistant to multiple chemotherapy drugs, and there are differences in drug sensitivity between individuals, the current pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) chemotherapy effect is not satisfactory. In order to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy and achieve precise treatment, it is important to establish an accurate and individualized PDAC research model.

Because most of patients with PDAC have developed to advanced stage at the time of diagnosis, it is not suitable for surgery. That limits our ability to obtain tumor cells seriously. With the development of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) technique, it can be used not only to diagnose diseases, but also to provide specimens for molecular analysis and create valuable preclinical disease research models, so as to guide the selection of the most appropriate individualized treatment. EUS-FNB can obtain lesions without any treatment. Therefore, the preclinical disease research model established by EUS-FNB is more representative of the original tumor.

However, compared with surgical specimens, the specimens obtained by EUS-FNB are smaller in size, which may affect the successful construction of research models in vitro. Therefore, the investigators plan to use EUS-FNB wet suction technique, a modified specimen acquisition method, to obtain PDAC tissue, and use it for primary cell culture, to explore the amount of tissue required for the successful cultivation of human-derived pancreatic cancer primary cells, so as to provide a prerequisite for the successful establishment of human-derived preclinical disease research model.

different number of passes

What participants receive

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

  • different number of passesProcedure or surgery

    Each patient's operation process is the same, that is, after obtaining enough specimens for diagnosis by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) wet suction technique, additional three passes are performed. One of which is randomly selected as the one pass group, and the other two passes automatically as the two pass group. Please refer to the literature for EUS-FNB wet technique (Tong T, et al. J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2020;10.1111/jgh.15371.)

What is being measured

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

  1. Differences in the success rate of culturing primary cells

    Differences in the success rate of pancreatic cancer primary cells (P1) and culture to the third generation (P3) between the two groups.

    Measured: About 6 weeks after operation

  2. The difference in the representation to the original tumor between the two groups of primary cells

    Through Western Blot and PCR methods to detect the representativeness of primary cells to the primary tumor. If the patient underwent surgery later, hematoxylin-eosin staining and/or immunohistochemistry were added to compare the histological morphology with the original tumor.

    Measured: About 8 weeks after operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The relationship between the success rate of primary cell culture and some tumor characteristics

    Statistical methods such as chi-square test are used to analyze whether the success rate of primary cell culture is related to the tumor size, degree of differentiation, clinical stage, and the length of macroscopic visible core tissue.

    Measured: About 6 weeks after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing different number of passes in people with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 11 Mar 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xiaoyan Wang, M.D. (+8613974889301, tingtong@csu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Differences in the success rate of culturing primary cells (time frame: About 6 weeks after operation). 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 11 Mar 2021.
