Trial summary

We are going to establish "organoid" models from pancreatic cancer biopsies achieved via EUS-FNA. Then the sensitivity of the selected FDA-approved anti-cancer drugs will be tested in these organoids. Read more about this study

About this study

We are going to establish "organoid" models from pancreatic cancer biopsies achieved via EUS-FNA. Then the sensitivity of the selected FDA-approved anti-cancer drugs will be tested in these organoids.

Read the detailed description

The survival rate of pancreatic cancer, a kind of malignant tumor, remains poor due to lack of effective treatments. Recently, a new model called "organoid" has been generated from human and murine pancreatic cancer tissues. These organoids are developed from large pieces of surgical tissues or small biopsies taken from EUS-FNA guided samples. Here in our study we are going to establish "organoid" models from pancreatic cancer biopsies achieved via EUS-FNA. After successful generation of these organoids, we will treat them with the selected FDA-approved anti-cancer drugs, and assess the responses to these anti-cancer agents in our established organoids.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BiopsyProcedure or surgery

    Two extra EUS-FNA guided pancreatic biopsies collected for only research purposes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of organoids successfully generated from pancreatic cancer biopsies

    Successful isolation of pancreatic cancer organoids within 2 weeks of EUS-FNA operation will be defined as successful establishment of an organoid. We will calculate the total number of organoids generated in our center.

    Measured: 09/01/2018-06/01/2019

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Response of the pancreatic cancer organoids to the selected anti-cancer drugs

    We will treat the established organoids with the selected FDA-approved drugs. Then the anti-cancer activity of these drugs will be tested using CellTiter-Glo 3D Cell Viability Assay (Promega).

    Measured: 06/01/2019-06/01/2020

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Cancer and Pancreas Adenocarcinoma, run by Ying Lv 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2020. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shu Zhang, PhD (+86 13770728926, zhangshu19900513@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of organoids successfully generated from pancreatic cancer biopsies (time frame: 09/01/2018-06/01/2019). 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 7 Jan 2020.
