Trial summary

FOLFIRINOX regimen is first-line neoadjuvant chemotherapies for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) worldwide. However, FOLFIRINOX is not well accepted in China because of the high prevalence of adverse events and poor tolerance. Read more about this study

About this study

FOLFIRINOX regimen is first-line neoadjuvant chemotherapies for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) worldwide. However, FOLFIRINOX is not well accepted in China because of the high prevalence of adverse events and poor tolerance. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of modified-FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) in Chinese LAPC patients and compare survival between LAPC patients with mFOLFIRINOX-based preoperative therapy and LAPC patients who underwent surgery alone.

Read the detailed description

At this institution, a mFOLFIRINOX regimen has been adopted for metastatic pancreatic cancer (MPC) patients and promising results obtained. The modification resulted in a significantly reduced prevalence of severe adverse events in MPC patients, whereas the OS and PFS were extended to 10.3m and 7.0m, respectively, which is similar to that for patients on a full-dose regimen. Therefore, the investigators further evaluated the efficacy of mFOLFIRINOX in LAPC patients. Here, investigators want to prospectively enroll LAPC patients who underwent preoperative therapy with mFOLFIRINOX from April 2014 and compared the surgical resectability and surgical morbidity/surgical mortality among patients with surgically resectable pancreatic cancer (RPC) or LAPC who underwent surgery alone retrospectively. For patients with LAPC, mFOLFIRINOX was administrated for several cycles until the optimal response was obtained and then patients were evaluated for surgery. Moreover, survival data, including OS and PFS, were determined.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
LAPC patients with mFOFLRINOX-based neoadjuvant therapyLAPC patients were enrolled prospectively and diagnosed by MDT group in our hospital. These patients further received the neoadjuvant therapy with mFOLFIRINOX, the Overall survival, Progression survival, response to mFOLFIRINOX, chemo-related Toxicities, Postoperative complications and Histopathologic staging were measured.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Cancer and Chemotherapy Effect, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Overall survival (time frame: 2014-04-01 to 2017-11-01). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Mar 2018.
