Trial summary

Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase IIA Trial Testing Erlotinib as an Intervention Against Intraductal Pancreatic Mucinous Neoplasms

Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. This phase II trial is studying how well erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To test the hypothesis that the activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signal transduction biomarker Mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) protein expression within intraductal pancreatic mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) lesions will have greater than zero absolute mean decrease from baseline comparing pre and post 21-42 days of Erlotinib (erlotinib hydrochloride) administration at 100mg orally (PO) once daily (QD).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To test the hypothesis that other correlative IPMN EGF inducible biomarkers will have greater than zero absolute mean decrease from baseline pre and post Erlotinib 100mg PO QD therapy.

II. Safety of Erlotinib treatment. III. To determine Erlotinib pharmacokinetic concentration in plasma and pancreatic tissue at the 100mg/day dose up to 42 days of therapy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive erlotinib hydrochloride PO QD for 21-42 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo to pancreatectomy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4-20 weeks.

Being tested
erlotinib hydrochloride, conventional surgery, immunohistochemistry staining method, protein expression analysis, biopsy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Reduction in Number of Positive IPMN Celss and Staining Intensity After Treatment

    Number of participants showed a reduction in number of positive IPMN cells and staining intensity after treatment

    Measured: Pre-treatment and post-treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Plasma Calculated Concentration - OSI-774 (ng/mL)

    Plasma concentration levels of Erlotinib (OSI-774)

    Measured: 20 weeks

  2. Pancreas Calculated Concentration - OSI-774 (ng/g)

    Pancreatic tissue concentration levels of Erlotinib (OSI-774)

    Measured: 20 weeks

  3. Plasma Calculated Concentration - OSI-420 (ng/mL)

    Plasma concentration levels of Erlotinib (OSI-420)

    Measured: 20 weeks

  4. Pancreas Calculated Concentration - OSI-420 (ng/g)

    Pancreatic tissue concentration levels of Erlotinib (OSI-420)

    Measured: 20 weeks

  5. Number of Participants Reported at Least 1 Adverse Event With a Grade of 3 and Above

    The worst grade of pre-listed toxicity will be summarized by participant and by visit for each treatment group. Descriptive statistics (frequencies and percents) will be used to summarize data and hypotheses about group differences will be tested where appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 20 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing erlotinib hydrochloride, conventional surgery and immunohistochemistry staining method in people with Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm 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 13 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 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 19 May 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?

Reduction in Number of Positive IPMN Celss and Staining Intensity After Treatment (time frame: Pre-treatment and post-treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00482625, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Oct 2014.
