ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING NA

Exercise and Nutrition to Improve Pancreatic Cancer Outcomes

NCT03256201 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

This is a blinded pilot study in which patients scheduled for pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic or related cancers are randomized to dietary counseling and home exercise at high weekly frequency, either with or without individualized resistance training, in order to determine if such an intervention and research design are feasible in this population. We also aim to determine if physical function or quality of life can be improved with only 2-3 weeks of prehabilitation. This is in preparation for a larger study to determine if resistance improves outcomes.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03256201

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03256201 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 95 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Oklahoma, which has 306 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Pancreatic Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Nutritional Counseling is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03256201 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Oklahoma. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
