Trial summary

Various centers around the world are currently investigating the feasibility and yield of surveillance for pancreatic cancer in high-risk individuals. Evidence is beginning to accumulate that surveillance may lead to the early detection of non-invasive precursor lesions and asymptomatic early stage cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: International CAPS Registry: Operated Cases and Cases With Advanced Disease Among High-risk Individuals Participating in a Pancreatic Cancer Surveillance Program; a Case-control Study

Various centers around the world are currently investigating the feasibility and yield of surveillance for pancreatic cancer in high-risk individuals. Evidence is beginning to accumulate that surveillance may lead to the early detection of non-invasive precursor lesions and asymptomatic early stage cancer. Ultimately, the goal of surveillance is to reduce mortality in these high risk individuals, but before this can be confirmed many research questions need to be answered. While the numbers of high-risk individuals screened in each separate screening facility are likely too small to properly address many of these questions, pooling data comprises a sizable sample size providing unique research opportunities. The objective of this study is retrospectively review all cases of high-risk individuals participating in our pancreatic surveillance program in whom 1) a suspicious precursor lesions was detected for which a pancreatic resection was performed and 2) in whom an advanced malignant disease was diagnosed. The de-identified information will be entered into an international multicenter database registry.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients and resected lesions with pancreatic cancer in situ (high grade dysplasia) or invasive malignancy

    Prevalence of pancreatic neoplasia high risk patients who had surgery for detected lesions in screening programs

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Indications for pancreas surgery

    Pathology or imagining related to surgery indication

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Proportion of specific types of pancreatic neoplasms by lesion type

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Incidence of pancreatic in-situ and invasive malignancy after baseline screening

    Proportion of patients who had surgery or biopsy for new pancreatic lesions on follow-up

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Calculate all-cause and disease specific mortality

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Calculate survival time from point of diagnosis and treatment

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreas Cancer, run by Johns Hopkins University.

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 1 inclusion and 0 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 18 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Proportion of patients and resected lesions with pancreatic cancer in situ (high grade dysplasia) or invasive malignancy (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02703545, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 18 Nov 2023.
