Trial summary

More and more older adults are diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but the rate of surgical resection in patients with resectable tumour is still low. Clinical workers need to take more attention to oncologic care in this group. Read more about this study

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 75 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Older adult

Study population: Researchers included all elderly patients with T1-T3 stage PDAC recorded in SEER program, which would be candidates for undergoing radical surgery. Patients with metastatic disease were excluded. In addition, Investigators want to demonstrate survival benefit of radical surgery for elderly patients, so patients without complete survival time were excluded.

Who may be able to join

  • patients older than 75 years old and were diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by positive histology.
  • Patients were diagnosed with T1 through T3, M0 tumor based on criteria of TNM stage.

Who cannot join

  • Patients were diagnosed by death certificate.
  • Patients died before radical surgery.
  • Patients with important data missing, such as T-stage, surgical resection status, surgery procedures and complete survival time.

About this study

Official title: Department of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery, Huadong Hospital Affliated to Fudan University

More and more older adults are diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but the rate of surgical resection in patients with resectable tumour is still low. Clinical workers need to take more attention to oncologic care in this group. It's significant to explore potential predictors for impacting elderly patients chose to abandon surgical resection.

Read the detailed description

The incidence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in the elderly has been on the rise, but the elderly were always neglected in clinical oncology care. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a lethal disease, and the most effective treatment for curing it remains the radical resection. Unfortunately, there are many a study had reported that the rate of radical surgery of patients with PDAC has been low in the past decade. In order for more elderly pancreatic cancer patients to undergo surgical resection, investigators extracted the data of elderly patients with PDAC from SEER program and investigated predictive factors associated with surgical resection abandonment. In this study, investigators extracted data of patients older than 75 years diagnosed with T1-T3 stage PDAC to investigate rate of radical surgery. And researchers used Univariate and multivariate logistic regression model to explore potential factors associated with patients and surgeon chose to abandon surgical resection.

What is being measured

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

  1. ORs of potential predictors

    Univariate and multivariate logistic regression model were used to calculate ORs

    Measured: months from diagnosis to surgical resection, up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    The date of definite diagnosis to death or last follow up

    Measured: up to 132 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by Fudan University 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 3 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 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?

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?

ORs of potential predictors (time frame: months from diagnosis to surgical resection, up to 12 months). 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 3 Apr 2024.
