NCT ID NCT07575191

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This early study tests a new catheter system that delivers the chemotherapy drug Gemcitabine directly into or near pancreatic tumors. It includes 9 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and feasible, with patients receiving four treatments over eight weeks and followed for six months.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, able to undergo catheterization, imaging procedures, laboratory tests, required follow up visits, the filling out of required forms, and have the ability to understand and give written informed consent. * Voluntarily agrees to participate and has duly singed the Informed Consent Form. * Age 18 years or older. * Histologically confirmed, locally advanced pancreatic cancer. * Systemic treatment with IV chemotherapy for at least six months. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. * The target tumor is a measurable tumor according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria v1.1 prior to initiating Extroducer® Gemcitabine treatment. * Stable disease or locally progressive disease without signs of metastatic disease as evaluated at a multidisciplinary tumor board within 4 weeks prior to first dose. * Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer not amenable to resection as evaluated at a multidisciplinary tumor board within 4 weeks prior to first dose. * Have acceptable organ and marrow function as defined below: i. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500 cells/mm³ (1.5x109 cells/L) ii. Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL iii. Platelets ≥ 100,000/µL iv. Total bilirubin ≤ 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN). v. AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) ≤ 3 × ULN. vi. ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) ≤ 3 × ULN vii. Creatinine Within 1.5 x ULN OR Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min for patients with creatinine levels above 1.5 x ULN. * Women of childbearing potential (defined as all women who are not surgically sterile or postmenopausal for at least 1 year prior to enrollment) must have a negative urine pregnancy test at enrollment and must agree to use a medically acceptable and highly effective contraception from enrollment until 6 months after final study treatment of Gemcitabine. * Male subjects who are planning to father a child (i.e., planning a pregnancy with a partner) during the clinical investigation. i. Male subjects must agree to use highly effective contraception with female partners of childbearing potential during the clinical investigation and for 3 months after the last dose of Gemcitabine and must not donate sperm during this period. ii. Acceptable methods include: a condom in addition to combined hormonal contraception, progestogen-only contraception, intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion in the female partner, or vasectomy of the male participant (confirmed azoospermia). iii. Sexual abstinence is acceptable only if it is the subject's usual and preferred lifestyle; periodic abstinence and withdrawal are not acceptable. Exclusion Criteria: * Participating in another clinical investigation which may interfere with the results in this clinical investigation per investigator judgement. * Inability to consent. * Pancreatic tumor is different from adenocarcinoma (e.g., neuroendocrine, metastases). Adenosquamous is allowed. * Cancer has spread to other organs or non-regional lymph nodes (Metastases). * Unknown stage or recurrent pancreatic cancer. * Patient contraindication to Gemcitabine treatments. * Patients in which iodine contrast is contraindicated. * Presence of structures that impede tumor access. * Concurrent or prior malignancy unless disease-free for ≥3 years, with exceptions for nonmelanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or bladder, or Gleason Grade \< 7 organ-confined prostate cancer. This may be subject to investigator's judgement based on individual patient circumstances and the nature of the malignancy. * Unmanaged concurrent illnesses, encompassing psychiatric conditions or challenging social circumstances, that, as per the investigator's judgment, could undermine compliance to the study protocols or pose an unacceptable risk to the patient. * Pregnant or nursing individuals.
