Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed locally advanced inoperable or metastatic PDAC undergoing first-line palliative chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with locally advanced operable PDAC or those not receiving palliative chemotherapy will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to systematically collect and analyze real-world data on treatment patterns, clinical outcomes, and toxicities among patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in Austria. It will involve 1000 adult patients who are receiving first-line chemotherapy for locally advanced inoperable or metastatic PDAC. The study will focus on patients undergoing palliative treatment with approved chemotherapeutic agents, including platinum-based therapies and gemcitabine. Data collected will help to understand the effectiveness and safety of current treatment approaches in this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into effective treatment strategies for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in evaluating treatment patterns in similar patient populations, making this approach both relevant and necessary.
