Trial summary

Pancreatic cancer is the 5th leading cause of cancer death in Australia. Surgery remains the most effective treatment for early pancreatic cancer and currently the only potential for cure. Unfortunately, many patients present with advanced disease and are not suitable for surgery. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients diagnosed with IPMN will be identified from consultations at each hospital site with surgical and medical specialists with an interest in pancreatic conditions. This will occur via consultations conducted in public clinic settings and from private consultations and multi-disciplinary meetings.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients between the age of 18 and 90 years old who have been identified with a cystic mass consistent with IPMN on imaging

Who cannot join

  • Patients who formally decline enrolment into the study

About this study

Pancreatic cancer is the 5th leading cause of cancer death in Australia. Surgery remains the most effective treatment for early pancreatic cancer and currently the only potential for cure. Unfortunately, many patients present with advanced disease and are not suitable for surgery. Therefore, it is vital to detect these cancers early. In the absence of significant data from prospective studies, all of the guidelines are based on a critical review of available data and consensus of experts. The primary aim is to delineate the progression of IPMN to pancreatic malignancy as confirmed by surgical pathology, radiology and biochemical diagnosis. The secondary aims are (i) To outline the management of IPMNs for those who have progressed straight to surgery or surveillance by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) (ii)To validate the International consensus guidelines for management of IPMN - Fukuoka consensus guidelines and tertiary aim to identify potential risk factors, if any that increase risk of malignancy within the IPMNs.

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of patients who have progressed to further investigations including endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and/or surgical intervention.

    Measured: From diagnosis of IPMN followed by clinical follow ups at 3, 6 or 12 monthly interval as specified by clinician, up to 10 years

  2. Risk stratification for patients with IPMN into those that require more intensive screening and possibly intervention versus those that are unlikely to progress to malignancy.

    Measured: From diagnosis of IPMN followed by clinical follow ups at 3, 6 or 12 monthly interval as specified by clinician, up to 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of IPMN, Pancreatic and IPMN, run by St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne at 1 site in Australia.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2024. 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 Australia. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Lynn Chong (+61 3 9231 2074, lynn.chong@svha.org.au), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The proportion of patients who have progressed to further investigations including endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and/or surgical intervention. (time frame: From diagnosis of IPMN followed by clinical follow ups at 3, 6 or 12 monthly interval as specified by clinician, up to 10 years). 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 Apr 2024.
