Study Overview

Maintenance Chemotherapy With S-1 vs. Observation After Adjuvant Therapy for Resected Pancreatic Cancer With High Risk of Recurrence/Metastasis

The goal of this real-world study is to learn if maintenance chemotherapy with Tegafur, Gimeracil, and Oteracil Potassium (S-1) can improve disease-free survival (DFS) compared to follow-up observation in patients with resected pancreatic cancer at high risk of recurrence or metastasis after adjuvant therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does maintenance therapy with S-1 improve disease-free survival (DFS) compared to follow-up observation after standard treatment for resected high-risk pancreatic cancer? * Does S-1 maintenance therapy improve overall survival (OS), distant disease-free survival (DDFS), and local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) compared to observation? * What are the safety and tolerability profiles of S-1 maintenance therapy compared to observation? Researchers will compare two groups: the S-1 maintenance therapy group and the observation-only group, to see if S-1 improves survival outcomes and safety. Participants will: * Receive maintenance chemotherapy with S-1 based on body surface area dosing or be assigned to the observation group without drug intervention. * Undergo imaging evaluations every 12 weeks to monitor for disease recurrence or metastasis. * Report side effects and any adverse events during the study.

Design Details

Primary Purpose:
Treatment

Allocation:
Non Randomized

Interventional Model:
Parallel

Masking:
None

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: S-1 Maintenance Therapy

S-1 monotherapy

DRUG: S-1

  • Tegafur, Gimeracil, and Oteracil Potassium (S-1) 40-60 mg per dose, orally (p.o.), twice daily (BID), from Day 1 to Day 28, with a 6-week cycle, for a total of 8 cycles; or from Day 1 to Day 14, with a 3-week cycle, for a total of 16 cycles.
NO_INTERVENTION: Observation Only

Participants in this arm will undergo follow-up observation according to the trial protocol, without receiving any antineoplastic drugs for maintenance therapy.

Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Disease-Free Survival (DFS)Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is defined as the time from enrollment to the first occurrence of disease recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. If no recurrence occurs during the study, DFS is defined as the time from enrollment to the last confirmed date of disease-free status. For participants who withdraw from the study for reasons other than recurrence (e.g., initiation of other treatments), DFS will be censored at the time of withdrawal or the start of other treatment. For participants who are not censored, pre-planned sensitivity analyses will be conducted based on radiologically confirmed recurrence or death. New primary tumors will not be considered as recurrence events. The confirmed recurrence date will be the date of imaging showing relapse. If recurrence is confirmed through other clinical methods, the date of diagnosis will be used.Up to 3 years
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Overall Survival (OS)Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from enrollment to death from any cause. For participants who are alive at the last follow-up, OS will be censored at the last known date of survival. In cases of participants lost to follow-up, OS will be censored at the last date they were confirmed to be alive.5 years
Distant Disease-Free Survival (DDFS)Distant Disease-Free Survival (DDFS) is defined as the time from enrollment to the first occurrence of distant metastasis or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. If no distant metastasis occurs, DDFS will be defined as the time from enrollment to the last confirmed date of no distant metastasis.Up to 3 years
Local Recurrence-Free Survival (LRFS)Local Recurrence-Free Survival (LRFS) is defined as the time from enrollment to the first occurrence of local recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. If no local recurrence occurs, LRFS will be defined as the time from enrollment to the last confirmed date of no local recurrence.Up to 3 years
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0This outcome will assess the number of participants who experience treatment-related adverse events, graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. These events will be monitored and categorized based on severity, with a focus on the relationship to the study treatment.Up to 3 years
Quality of Life (QoL)Quality of Life will be measured using the EORTC QLQ-C30 (version 3), a widely used instrument to assess the health-related quality of life of cancer patients. The scores will be analyzed to evaluate changes in the quality of life during the study period.Up to 3 years
