NCT04881487

Brief Summary

A randomized controlled trial, nested within an existing prospective cohort (Dutch Pancreatic Cancer Project; PACAP) according to the 'trials within cohorts' (TwiCs) design in which the effect of additional local ablative therapy compared to current standard of care alone, on survival after recurrence in patients with isolated local pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) recurrence. The most important secondary endpoint is quality of life. Other secondary endpoints are treatment response, acute and late toxicity, overall survival, progression-free survival, local progression-free survival, distant metastases free survival and reasons for non-eligibility or exclusion.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Survival after recurrence

    The interval between the date of PDAC recurrence diagnosis and either death from any cause or last follow-up.

    From the date of PDAC recurrence diagnosis until either death from any cause or last follow-u, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Patient reported Quality of Life as assessed using Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) questionnaire

    At baseline and at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months and every subsequent year after enrollment in the PACAP-cohort. Assessed through study completion, up to 18 months

  • Patient reported non-disease specific health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) as assessed using the EQ-5D-5L

    At baseline and at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months and every subsequent year after enrollment in the PACAP-cohort. Assessed through study completion, up to 18 months

  • Patient reported cancer-specific HRQoL as assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30

    At baseline and at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months and every subsequent year after enrollment in the PACAP-cohort. Assessed through study completion, up to 18 months

  • Patient reported tumor-specific HRQoL as assessed using the EORTC LQPAN26

    At baseline and at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months and every subsequent year after enrollment in the PACAP-cohort. Assessed through study completion, up to 18 months

  • Patient reported chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy as assessed using the EORTC QLQ-CIPN20

    At baseline and at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months and every subsequent year after enrollment in the PACAP-cohort. Assessed through study completion, up to 18 months

  • +9 more secondary outcomes
