Focused Ultrasound for the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer - an International Registry

Terminated
Conditions
Pancreatic Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03724435
Lead Sponsor
Focused Ultrasound Foundation
Brief Summary

This pancreatic cancer registry aims to collect information on people around the world who select focused ultrasound (FUS) as part of their treatment for pancreatic cancer to learn about the performance of the focused ultrasound technology and health outcomes; the impact of focused ultrasound on your overall health; and provide an understanding of the current care for pancreatic cancer.

Detailed Description

The purpose of the registry is to collect data on the performance of the focused ultrasound (FUS) technology and health outcomes. A wide variety of approaches exist for using FUS on pancreatic cancer patients, and the primary goal is to capture this broad spectrum of approaches and their impact on patients overall health. This information will help provide a better understanding of current care, and may possibly direct further, more specific investigations that will follow this registry. After obtaining informed consent a baseline history, physical examination, laboratory studies, and imaging studies needed per standard of care will be performed. Patients' treatment is determined by their caregivers only, and thus the registry will evaluate patient management in "real-world" conditions.

Enrollment Goal: 100

Primary Outcomes: Pain related to pancreatic cancer, Objective response, Progression-free and overall survival, Performance Status, Clinical Benefit Response (CBR), Health-related quality of life
