About this study
Official title: A Phase II Trial of MGI 114 in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irofulven in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the survival rate at 6 months of patients with stage III or IV unresectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas treated with 6-hydroxymethylacylfulvene (MGI 114). II. Determine the objective tumor response rate, time to objective tumor response, and duration of response in these patients (if retrospective data is available, time to tumor progression while on prior gemcitabine is determined). III. Determine the clinical benefit of MGI 114 as measured by pain improvement, performance status, and weight. IV. Determine the survival rate at 3, 9, and 12 months in these patients. V. Gain additional information on the toxic effects and safety profile of this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is an open label, multicenter study. Patients receive 6-hydroxymethylacylfulvene (MGI 114) IV over 5 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment is repeated every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed monthly for up to 1 year after therapy initiation.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing irofulven in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio at 3 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Aug 2012.
