Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to Predict Outcomes of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
PDAC - Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Registration Number
NCT04700488
Lead Sponsor
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess if Six-Dimensional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (6D-MRI) is effective in predicting outcomes in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Detailed Description

The overarching goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the usefulness of a novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) approach, which measure properties of tumor microenvironment (i.e. vascularity, fibrosis), to predict PDAC response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of progression-free survival from baseline2 years

Progression-free survival will be determined by tumor activity assessed from radiomic features on imaging.

Change in functional status from baseline, as measured by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Scale of Performance StatusBaseline, 2 years

Scores range from 0 to 4, with 0 denoting fully active and 1-4 for varying degrees of disability.

Number of participants with R0 resection2 years

The rate of negative tumor resection margins for patient's with resectable cancer that undergo surgery.

Change in overall health from baseline, as measured by the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI)Baseline, 2 years

Scores are summed depending on the patient's age and the presence of certain comorbidities. Lower scores are correlated to higher overall survival rates.
