About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Phase II Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Intraoperative Radiotherapy After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients With Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

This phase II study is designed to investigate the efficacy of intraoperative radiotherapy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. The purpose of the study is to show the local recurrence rate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and IORT is superior to that of surgical resection alone from the historical control. A total of 80 patients will be enrolled, and these patients will receive IORT of 10 Gy at 5 millimeter depth of the tumor bed, following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

What participants receive

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

  • intraoperative radiotherapy, IORTRadiation

    A dose of 10 Gy is prescribed to be irradiated at a depth of 5 mm from the surface of the applicator, and the radiation oncologist determines the exact irradiation time. The irradiation time may take 20 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the applicator, and the exact irradiation time is calculated after checking the quality assurance of the radiation generator before treatment every day.

What is being measured

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

  1. 3-year local recurrence rate

    A local recurrence is defined as reappearance of cancer in the ipsilateral preserved breast or chest wall.

    The 3-year local recurrence rate is calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: 3 year after intraoperative radiotherapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. post-operative complication

    Evaluation of safety, including adverse events, was performed by the Principal Investigator and delegated participating investigators in the Department of Surgery and Radiation Oncology outpatient clinic.

    Toxicity is evaluated within 3 months (acute) and thereafter (chronic) after surgery, and it is performed through a questionnaire and physical examination at every visit up to 1 year after surgery and recorded.

    Measured: 3 year after intraoperative radiotherapy

  2. disease free survival

    Disease-free survival is defined as the time from intraoperative radiotherapy to recurrence of tumor, death or last patient contact.

    Measured: 1 year and 2 year after intraoperative radiotherapy.

  3. Overall survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time from intraoperative radiotherapy to death or last patient contact.

    Measured: 1 year and 2 year after intraoperative radiotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intraoperative radiotherapy, IORT in people with Resectable Pancreatic Cancer, run by Yona Cho at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 15 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 South Korea. 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?

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?

3-year local recurrence rate (time frame: 3 year after intraoperative radiotherapy). 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 15 Apr 2024.
