Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The main objective of the trial is assessment of safety for the perioperative use of propranolol and etodolac in patients with resectable cancer of the pancreatic head planned for elective pancreatoduodenectomy.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the trial are to assess feasibility and to generate first efficacy data for the perioperative use of propranolol and etodolac in patients with resectable cancer of the pancreatic head planned for elective pancreatoduodenectomy.;Primary end point(s): Safety endpoints: • Rates of severe adverse events and severe adverse drug reactions • Mortality at 30 and 90 days postoperatively • Pancreas-associated morbidity (pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, postoperative pancreatic hemorrhage, biliary leakage, fluid collection/abscess) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Visit 2: one day before Operation Visit 3: day of surgery Visit 4: post-operative day (POD) 1 Visit 5: POD 3 Visit 6: POD 5 Visit 7 and 8: POD 7 or 14 (or day of discharge) Visit 9: POD 30 Follow-up will be 3 months for safety endpoints. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Feasibility endpoints: •Adherence to study medication •Completion of adjuvant chemotherapy Oncologic endpoints: •Overall survival •Disease-free survival •Rates of local / distant recurrence Biological endpoints/Biomarkers (will be measured at different timepoints of study conduct): •Blood samples: c-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, differential blood count, CA 19-9, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokine multiplex, PGE-2 levels, circulating tumor cells, RNA sequencing in periphery blood cells (leukocytes) •Tissue samples: COX-2 expression, PGE-2 levels, immune cell infiltrate (immunehistochemistry), RNA sequencing of bulk tissue or of sorted tumor and stromal cells. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Visit 1: screening Visit 2: one day before Operation Visit 3: day of surgery Visit 4: post-operative day (POD) 1 Visit 5: POD 3 Visit 6: POD 5 Visit 7 and 8: POD 7 or 14 (or day of discharge) Visit 9: POD 30 Visit 10: POD 3 months Visit 11: POD 6 months Visit 12: POD 12 months Visit 13: POD 24 months | — |
