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).

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.

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.

Experimental: Microwave Ablation Combined with Chemotherapy
All patients will receive microwave ablation of oligohepatic metastasis and chemotherapy according to NCCN guidelines,and the efficacy was evaluated every 8 weeks until the disease progressed or the patient could not tolerate it.
Combination product: Microwave Ablation combination with chemotherapy
Microwave Ablation combination with chemotherapy. Maximum tumor diameter ≤ 3cm, single microwave needle, maximum tumor diameter> 3cm, double ablation needle, the ablation range completely covers the lesion ≥ 0.5cm in order to obtain a satisfactory ablation margin. After the operation, contrast ultrasound is performed again to confirm the ablation edge. Enhanced MRI or CT to evaluate the ablation effect 4 weeks after surgery. Selection of chemotherapy regimen refers to the 2020 NCCN Guidelines for Pancreatic Cancer. First-line chemotherapy regimen: gemcitabine combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel or FOLFIRINOX; second-line chemotherapy regimen: If first-line chemotherapy based on gemcitabine, 5-FU-based regimen for second-line, If 5-FU-based regimen for first-line, gemcitabine for second-line.

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.
