About this study

Official title: Open-label, Multicentric Phase I-II Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of the Combination of Sorafenib (BAY 43-9006), Gemcitabine and Concurrent Radiotherapy, in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Carcinoma

Phase I: Safety profile and to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / Recommended Dose (DR) of Sorafenib in combination with Gemcitabine and Radiotherapy

Phase II: Activity profile evaluating Progression-free rates (PFR) at 6 months, Response rate, Overall survival, Toxicity profile

Read the detailed description

Safety profile and to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / Recommended Dose (DR) of Sorafenib in combination with Gemcitabine and Radiotherapy

Definition of maximum tolerated dose (MTD):

The MTD is defined as the highest dose level which can be given to 6 patients such that no more than 1 patient experiences a DLT .

Definition of Recommended Dose (DR):

Is the MTD

Definition of Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT):

DLT will be defined as any of the following occurring during the period of treatment and regarded as related to the combination regimen.

  • Grade 4 thrombocytopenia persisting greater than 4 days, or with bleeding requiring platelet transfusion
  • Grade 4 neutropenia lasting more than 7 days
  • Febrile neutropenia (≥ 38.5oC) with an absolute neutrophil count ≤ 1000/mm3
  • Any grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity related to the combination [occurring despite optimal supportive care, if applicable] except hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, deep venous thrombosis, or hyperbilirubinemia secondary to stent malfunction.
  • Hypertension that is symptomatic and not managed by maximal use of three different classes of antihypertensives, or any episode of malignancy hypertension (Detailed Dose Modifications and G-CSF use in case of febrile neutropenia will be outlined in the full protocol version)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Gemcitabine, Radiotherapy and Sorafenib in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Grupo Espanol Multidisciplinario del Cancer Digestivo at 4 sites in Spain.

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 7 inclusion and 24 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 29 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Spain. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

SAFETY (time frame: End of Study). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00789763, 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 29 Nov 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
