Trial summary

Little is known concerning the management of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in digestive cancers other than hepato-cellular carcinoma (HCC). The use of anticoagulant treatment (ACT), screening of oesophageal varices (OV) and oesogatric varices (OGV), and primary prophylaxis of OV (treatment with beta-blocker (BB) and /… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective and Multicentric Cohort Study Evaluating the Complications of Portal Vein Thrombosis in Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer : THROMPAN

Little is known concerning the management of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in digestive cancers other than hepato-cellular carcinoma (HCC). The use of anticoagulant treatment (ACT), screening of oesophageal varices (OV) and oesogatric varices (OGV), and primary prophylaxis of OV (treatment with beta-blocker (BB) and / or OV ligation) if necessary are not clearly defined. The autopsy series by Ogren et al. (World J Gastroenterol. 2006) found an incidence of PVT in cancer patients of 1%, with 44% of digestive cancers other than HCC as a common etiology, mostly pancreatic adenocarcinoma (42%).

We reported a retrospective French study that included 118 patients with digestive cancers other than HCC, including 50% locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, with PVT complications. A total of 38% of patients had radiological signs of portal hypertension (PHT) and 51% had ACT. Only 1% of patients were screened for VO (n = 7). In addition, 19% (n = 22) presented gastrointestinal bleeding. Among the causes of death, 17% (n = 12) were due to gastrointestinal bleeding. Overall survival (OS) was statistically associated with a metastatic disease (HR = 2.83 [95% CI 1.47-5.43], p <0.01) and gastrointestinal bleeding (HR = 1.68 [95% CI 1.01-2.78], p = 0.04).

Bleeding complications from PHT are not uncommon in patients with digestive cancer, especially in patients with pancreatic cancer with PVT; but above all they can be responsible for death. No data existed before our first study (Regnault et al. Dig Liv Dis 2018). However, these data must be validated in a prospective multicentric study with standardized follow-up. In order to obtain precise and homogeneous data, we have chosen to target pancreatic cancers as these tumors are the most common causes of PVT.

    Hematemesis, melena and / or rectal bleeding Hematuria, intra-abdominal, intracranial bleeding and / or other bleeding considered clinically relevant by the investigators

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Screening rate of oesophageal varices by upper gastriintestinal endoscopy,

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Detection rate of oesophageal varices

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Rate of primary prophylaxis of oesophageal varices

    Measured: 18 months

  4. Rate of secondary prophylaxis of oesophageal varices

    Measured: 18 months

  5. Rate of anticoagulant treatment use

    Measured: 18 months

  6. Portal hypertension related death, predictive factors of gastrointestinal bleeding and overall survival.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, run by Poitiers University Hospital.

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 2 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 24 Mar 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Sheik EMAMBUX (sheik.emambux@chu-poitiers.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of digestive and non-digestive bleeding (time frame: 18 months). 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 24 Mar 2021.
