Implantation of iodine125-Seeds Combined With Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Metastatic Pancreatic Carcinoma

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: Iodine125-Seeds implantation
Drug: Gem/nab-P Chemotherapy
Registration Number
NCT05869474
Lead Sponsor
Changhai Hospital
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided radioactive iodine 125 seeds in combination with AG regimen chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* whether the combination of minimally invasive endoscopy-guided local radiation therapy with chemotherapy may improve overall survival

* the adverse events of the combination therapy Participants will receive the implantation of radioactive seeds under EUS guide. 48h after implantation, chemotherapy with Gem/nab-P given on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle will be conducted.

Researchers will compare the I125+AG group with the group that takes AG chemotherapy alone to see if the overall survival can be improved.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survival (OS)48 months

OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death (any cause). Patients who are alive will be censored at the last known time that the patient was alive.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Metabolic responsefrom baseline to the end of 2nd chemotherapy cycle

Metabolic response is evaluated by PET/CT according to EORTC criteria.

Overall Response Rate (ORR)48 months

ORR is defined as the percentage of patients with an investigator-assessed complete (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST v1.1.

CA19-9 response48 months

CA19-9 response is defined as a decrease of CA19-9 concentration by 50% from the prespecified baseline concentration of 74 U/mL or more.

Progression-free survival (PFS)48 months

PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of objective disease progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria or death (due to any cause),whichever occurs first.

Incidence and severity of Adverse events (AEs)48 months

AEs are graded and reported using The CTCAE version 5.0.

Visual analog scale (VAS)48 months

Pain is scored according to a VAS score, with a score of 0 indicating no pain and a score of 10 indicating the most intense degree of pain (unbearable pain).
