Kinetics of Microparticles Under Chemotherapy in Patients With Gastric or Pancreatic Cancer

Not Applicable

Conditions
Pancreatic Cancer

Interventions
Procedure: kinetics of microparticles under chemotherapy
Registration Number
NCT03471468
Lead Sponsor
Poitiers University Hospital
Brief Summary

Microparticles have recently emerged as a thrombotic risk marker with a potential role in determining which patients are at greatest risk for developing thrombosis. Available data show an increase in the level of microparticles in cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy for solid tumors with a possible link to their thrombogenic state.

Our study focuses on the kinetics of microparticles under chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic or gastric cancer by serial measurements of microparticles procoagulant activity.

Detailed Description:

The impact of chemotherapy on microparticles expression will be assessed by measuring their procoagulant activity on blood samples taken during the course of chemotherapy. The thrombotic risk will be evaluated by the score of Khorana in parallel. Microparticles expression in patients with thrombosis will be compared to that in other patients.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Microparticles level will be assessed by automated and standardised measure of their procoagulant power using Kit STA©Procoag-PPL (Diagnostica Stago, Asnière, France)After 6 hours of chemotherapies #1 to #6
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Khorana score does assess the risk of thrombosis uner chemotherapy according to 3 levels :Score 0, 1, 2 or 3Before chemotherapies #1 to #6

Score 0= low risk (incidence of thrombosis = 0.3%) Score 1 or 2= intermediate risk (incidence of thrombosis = 2%) Score \>3 = high risk (incidence of thrombosis = 6.7%) The highest possible score is 6.
