Brief Title: Electrochemoterapy With Bleomycin for the Treatment of Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
Official Title: A Clinical Trial Using Electrochemotherapy With Bleomycin for the Treatment of Non-metastatic Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
Study ID: NCT03225781
Brief Summary: Electrochemotherapy is a type of electroporation that allows the delivery of drugs to the cells through the local creation of pores in the cell membrane. The electric pulses can be applied directly to the neoplastic cells, allowing for the local concentration of a possible chemotherapeutic agent administered through the bloodstream. This technique does not use heat nor other thermal energies and it is performed using special needles/electrodes linked to a generator ("porator"). In this study this technique will be applied on unresectable pancreatic cancer, already submitted to neoadjuvant treatment and still unresectable, through laparotomy. Bleomycin will be the chemotherapeutic agent.
