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

Combination chemotherapy (e.g. FOLFIRINOX (5-fluorouracil, irinotecan, oxaliplatin), Gem-Abraxane, Gem-Cap, Gem-S1) is standard of care in patients with LAPC but more and more scientific studies point to the fact that patients without sign of progressive disease (PD) will benefit from additional radiotherapy and especially SBRT.

The sample size is based on Simon's two stages mini-max design. This design ensures early study termination if there is insufficient effect.

A resection rate less than 10% after SBRT is not clinically acceptable. Assuming a significance level at 0.1 (α = 0.1) and a power at 90% (β = 0.10) it can be calculated, that 16 patients should be included in the first part of the study. The enrolment will continue until 16 patients have completed SBRT and have been re-evaluated for resection by CT scan (and endoscopic ultrasonography + laparoscopic ultrasound, if available). If 1 or less out of the first 16 consecutive patients are being resected the investigators will reject our hypotheses and close the study after the first stage of accrual. If 2 or more patients are resected, an additional 9 patients will be accrued in the second stage. If at least 4 out of 25 patients are resected, a true resection rate of 30% cannot be excluded, and the investigators will conclude that the treatment is effective enough to continue with future studies.

To ensure 25 evaluable patients the investigators will include a total of 30 patients.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
32

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
