Study Overview

Simultaneous Resection of Pancreatic Cancer and Liver Oligometastasis After Induction Chemotherapy

This study is a multi-center phase 3 trial to evaluate a treatment strategy for selecting patients who can benefit from the synchronous resection of primary pancreatic cancer and liver oligometastasis after induction chemotherapy. Half of participants who meet the entry criterion will receive surgical intervention, while the other half will continue to receive standard chemotherapy.

Design Details

Primary Purpose:
Treatment


Allocation:
Randomized


Interventional Model:
Parallel


Masking:
None


Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Standard treatment

Patients continue to receive standard chemotherapy.

DRUG: Standard chemotherapy

  • Patients continue to receive standard chemotherapy including folinic acid, fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX), gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, or gemcitabine plus S-1
EXPERIMENTAL: Surgical exploration

Patients receive surgical exploration and synchronous resection of primary pancreatic cancer and liver oligometastasis will be performed.

PROCEDURE: Synchronous resection of primary pancreatic cancer and liver oligometastasis

  • Patients undergo surgical exploration. If no extensive metastatic sites are found, the synchronous resection of primary pancreatic cancer and liver metastatic sites will be performed. Adjuvant chemotherapy was recommended, and the regimen selection is rec

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person’s general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:
ALL

Sexes Eligible for Study:
18 Years

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

    Note: This study has two steps. In the first step, patients who meet the criteria for candidates will receive standard first-line chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria was employed to measure tumor's response to chemotherapy every two cycles. Until some of them meet the criteria for intervention, they will be randomized and receive relevant interventions.
    Inclusion Criteria for candidates:
    1. Voluntary participation 2. 18-75 years old 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-1 4. Stage IV pancreatic cancer with no more than 3 liver metastases 5. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic cancer 6. No contraindication of chemotherapy
    Exclusion Criteria for candidates:
    1. Not want to receive chemotherapy or potential operation. 2. Metastases at other sites except for liver 3. With other malignancies 4. Receive chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and interventional therapy before 5. Contraindication of potential operation
    Inclusion Criteria for intervention:
    1. Primary tumor and liver metastatic sites are both resectable. 2. No new metastatic sites were observed 3. Abnormal serum tumor maker levels decreased by more than 50% after chemotherapy. In the serum tumor makers, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) was always the first choice for evaluation and it should be below 500U/L after treatment. However, when the baseline CA19-9 was within the normal range, carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were the alternative candidate indicators.
    Exclusion Criteria for intervention:
    1. Contraindication of operation
