About this study

Official title: Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound to Assess the Lymph Nodes Staging in Non-metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Aim of the study will be to investigate if Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) with elastography can be purposed between the routine staging examinations in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma without distant metastasis for the staging of lymph nodes status ("N" in TNM classification)

  • in RESECTABLE pancreatic cancer the investigators will evaluate the concordance with EUS elastography and histological findings of lymph nodes obtained during surgery, in order to assess the sensibility, specificity and the positive and negative predictive value of EUS with elastography, the disease-free survival, the percentage of metastatic patients and the overall survival (in patients with or without metastatic lymph nodes).
  • in "BORDERLINE resectable" and UNRESECTABLE non-metastatic ("advanced" locally") disease, the investigators will evaluate if the malignant lymph nodes samples during EUS with elastography and fine needle aspiration (FNA) will be related to a decreased survival.

Secondary aim will be to register the prognosis (in terms of survival) of the patients with para-aortic and mediastinal pathological lymph nodes (related to a decreases survival in some series in literature)

Read the detailed description

Pathological lymph nodes will be assessed by EUS with elastography as lymph nodes: hypoechoic, rounded, rigid (blue) and big (bigger than 1 centimeter)

    Measured: 2 years

  2. OVERALL SURVIVAL (MONTHS) in metastatic lymph node presence

    resectable pancreatic cancer

    Measured: 2 years

  3. OVERALL SURVIVAL (MONTHS) in metastatic lymph node presence

    borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. OVERALL SURVIVAL (MONTHS)

    para-aortic and mediasitnum metastatic lymph nodes presence

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma and Lymph Node Metastasis, run by Paolo Giorgio Arcidiacono, MD at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2024. 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 was stopped early (reason given: no patients with inclusion criteria). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

CONCORDANCE (PERCENTAGE) of pathological lymph nodes at EUS with elastography and surgical pathology report (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 3 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 2 Apr 2024.
