CT Perfusion Images in Assessing Treatment Response in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer

June 30, 2022 updated by: University of Washington

Evaluation of CT Perfusion Parameters as a Potential Biomarker for Treatment Response in Pancreatic Cancer

This pilot clinical trial studies how well computed tomography (CT) perfusion images work in assessing treatment response in patients with pancreatic cancer. Analyzing specific measurements on the CT perfusion images may help doctors better determine how a tumor responds to chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy and may help guide treatment for patients with pancreatic cancer.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo CT perfusion sequence during the first 40 seconds of the baseline standard of care CT scan and during follow-up CT scans at 2 and possibly 4 months after chemotherapy, at 4-6 weeks after radiation therapy, or prior to definitive surgery.

After completion of the study, patients are followed up periodically for 2 years.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Correlation between pre-treatment computed tomography (CT) tumor perfusion parameters and percentage of patients who achieve curative (R0) surgical resection after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Time Frame: Up to 4 years
Assessed using logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis will be used to examine the sensitivity and specificity of different thresholds for each parameter.
Up to 4 years
Correlation between pre-treatment CT tumor perfusion parameters and tumor response after treatment
Time Frame: Up to 1 year
Will be defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Assessed using logistic regression. ROC curve analysis will be used to examine the sensitivity and specificity of different thresholds for each parameter. If multiple perfusion parameters are found to be predictive of response, a multivariate logistic regression model will be constructed with these variables. ROC analysis will also be used to summary the predictive performance of the multivariate model.
Up to 1 year
Correlation of pre-treatment CT tumor perfusion parameters with overall survival
Time Frame: At 1 year
Assessed using Cox regression models. Multivariate Cox models will be constructed if multiple parameters are found to be predictive of survival.
At 1 year
Correlation of pre-treatment CT tumor perfusion parameters with overall survival
Time Frame: At 2 years
Assessed using Cox regression models. Multivariate Cox models will be constructed if multiple parameters are found to be predictive of survival.
At 2 years
Correlation of pre-treatment CT tumor perfusion parameters with progression free survival
Time Frame: At 1 year
Assessed using Cox regression models. Multivariate Cox models will be constructed if multiple parameters are found to be predictive of survival.
At 1 year
Correlation of pre-treatment CT tumor perfusion parameters with progression free survival
Time Frame: At 2 years
Assessed using Cox regression models. Multivariate Cox models will be constructed if multiple parameters are found to be predictive of survival.
At 2 years
Change in computed tomography (CT) tumor perfusion parameters (time to peak concentration)
Time Frame: Baseline to post-treatment (up to approximately one year)
The change in each CT tumor perfusion parameter between the pre-treatment scan and the post-treatment scan where response is assessed will be calculated. These changes will be compared between the responders and non-responders using the t-test or Mann-Whitney test.
Baseline to post-treatment (up to approximately one year)
Change in CT tumor perfusion parameter (blood flow)
Time Frame: Baseline to post-treatment (up to approximately one year)
The change in each CT tumor perfusion parameter between the pre-treatment scan and the post-treatment scan where response is assessed will be calculated. These changes will be compared between the responders and non-responders using the t-test or Mann-Whitney test.
Baseline to post-treatment (up to approximately one year)
Change in CT tumor perfusion parameter (blood volume)
Time Frame: Baseline to post-treatment (up to approximately one year)
The change in each CT tumor perfusion parameter between the pre-treatment scan and the post-treatment scan where response is assessed will be calculated. These changes will be compared between the responders and non-responders using the t-test or Mann-Whitney test.
Baseline to post-treatment (up to approximately one year)
Change in CT tumor perfusion parameter (Ktrans)
Time Frame: Baseline to post-treatment (up to approximately one year)
The change in each CT tumor perfusion parameter between the pre-treatment scan and the post-treatment scan where response is assessed will be calculated. These changes will be compared between the responders and non-responders using the t-test or Mann-Whitney test.
