About this study

Official title: The Relationship of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D to Overall Survival in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research trial is studying the relationship between vitamin D biomarkers and survival in blood samples from patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary Objective

  • To measure baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels in a cohort of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer enrolled in the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) study 80303 and evaluate the association between vitamin D status and overall survival (OS) or progression free survival (PFS).

Secondary Objective

  • To evaluate the association between common germ-line single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the vitamin D pathway genes and 25(OH)D levels in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
  • To evaluate the interaction between serum 25(OH)D levels and germ-line SNPs in the vitamin D pathway genes in predicting OS in advanced pancreatic cancer.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Archived serum samples are analyzed for 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels by competitive chemiluminescence immunoassay. Results are then compared with the germ-line single nucleotide polymorphisms from the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) and patients' clinical data.

Being tested
polymorphism analysis, immunologic technique, laboratory biomarker analysis, medical chart review

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1Participants in this correlative study (CALGB 151006) were enrolled in CALGB 80303, which was a national, multi-center, double-blind phase III study that randomly assigned patients (1:1) with advanced pancreatic cancer to gemcitabine plus bevacizumab vs gemcitabine plus placebo. Blood samples were collected from consenting participants in CALGB 80303 at the time of study registration at respective institutions and shipped to the CALGB Pathology Coordinating Office for storage (Columbus, OH).Baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels were measured and examined associations between baseline 25(OH)D levels and progression-free survival and OS using the Cox rank score test.
Receives: Genetic: polymorphism analysis; Other: immunologic technique; Other: laboratory biomarker analysis; Other: medical chart review

What is being measured

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

  1. Association between 25(OH)D level and OS

    Measured: 35 months post-randomization

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Association between 25(OH)D level and PFS

    Measured: 25 months post-randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2016. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Association between 25(OH)D level and OS (time frame: 35 months post-randomization). 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 29 Jun 2016.
