Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients belonging to the U.O. of Digestive Endoscopy of the Humanitas Hospital to undergo EUS with biopsy in the pre-treatment evaluation of locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. At the time of preparation for the examination, patients will be asked for blood collection (10 ml of blood) in order to evaluate any circulating tumor cells. Patients will then be subjected to the endoscopic procedure (EUS with biopsy) provided for by good clinical practice in consideration of the suspected diagnosis for which they come to our attention.

Who may be able to join

  • Age> 18 years,
  • Signature of informed consent,
  • Naïve patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (confirmed cito/ histologically), not subjected to previous treatments,
  • Need to perform EUS with biopsy,
  • Life expectancy over 6 months.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with non-primary pancreatic tumors, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors or benign pancreatic masses
  • Patients who have already undergone cancer treatment of any kind

About this study

Official title: Next Generation Sequencing di Cellule Tumorali Nell'Adenocarcinoma Pancreatico Localmente Avanzato

All patients referring to the U.O .of Digestive Endoscopy of the Humanitas Hospital to undergo EUS with biopsy in the pre-treatment evaluation of locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, satisfying all the inclusion criteria and without any of the exclusion criteria, will be enrolled.

Patients will then undergo endoscopic procedures (EUS with biopsy) provided by good clinical practice in consideration of the suspected diagnosis for which they come to Investigator's attention.

Biopsy will be performed using a histology needle (22 G, Acquire, Boston Scientific, MA, United States). The obtained material will be processed in the Pathological Anatomy. A small part of this will be sent to the NGS analysis.

At the time of preparation for the examination, the patients will be asked for blood collection (10 ml of blood) in order to evaluate any circulating tumor cells that will be identified by SmartBioSurface technique (Tethis S.p.A) and analyzed by appropriate molecular markers and NGS.

The clinical evaluation of the patient will take place at 6 months from the date of the procedure, through telephone contact and / or outpatient visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adenocarcinoma, run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas at 1 site in Italy.

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 5 inclusion and 2 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 Mar 2021. 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 Italy. 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?

Isomatic genetic mutations will be evaluated in locally advanced naïve pancreatic adenocarcinoma in order to better understand the best way to treat patient. (time frame: 18 Months). 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 NCT03578939, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Mar 2021.
