Who cannot join

  • Patients who have had prior abdominal radiotherapy.
  • Patients receiving any other investigational agents
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)ExperimentalCohorts 1-3 After completion of induction chemotherapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) will be administered in 3 fractions, every other day, on an outpatient basis. Dose escalation will start with dose level 1 (9 Gy x 3 fractions) and increase by 1 Gy per fraction at each dose level, dose level 2 will be 10 Gy x 3 fractions and dose level 3 will be 11 Gy x 3 fractions. Cohorts 4-6 For cohort 4, dose prescription will start at 7 Gy x 6 fractions (42Gy, isoeffective to 11 Gy x 3), followed by 4.8 Gy x 12 (54Gy) and 4.5Gy x 15 (67.5Gy).
Receives: Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)

What is being measured

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

  1. maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SBRT

    Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) are defined by ≥ Grade 3 treatment-related GI toxicity within 3 months of SBRT. These include: (1) Bowel (includes bowel perforation, obstruction, or hemorrhage) and (2) Stomach (bleeding ulcer, perforation). We will employ a standard 3+3 dose-escalation scheme. Patients will be accrued to the study in cohorts of 3.

    Measured: after at least 3 months of induction chemortherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 7 sites 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?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SBRT (time frame: after at least 3 months of induction chemortherapy). 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 20 Dec 2024.
