Trial summary

Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and flavopiridol, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Non-Randomized Phase II Study of Alvocidib (Flavopiridol) in Combination With Docetaxel in Refractory, Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer (NCI #6366)

Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and flavopiridol, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Flavopiridol may also help docetaxel work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel followed by flavopiridol works in treating patients with refractory metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the response rate in patients with refractory, metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with weekly, sequential docetaxel and flavopiridol.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the time to progression and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

II. Assess the toxicity of this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, open-label, prospective study.

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 30 minutes followed 4-6 hours later by flavopiridol IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing alvocidib and docetaxel in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas and Recurrent Pancreatic Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 42 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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 28 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Jan 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective Response Rate as Measured by RECIST Criteria (time frame: Up to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 28 May 2014.
