About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial of AMG 479 or Placebo in Combination With Gemcitabine as First-line Therapy for Locally Advanced Unresectable Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas

This study is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active placebo-controlled trial of AMG 479 or placebo in combination with gemcitabine as first-line therapy for locally advanced unresectable adenocarinoma of the pancreas. Approximately 150 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to AMG 479 and gemcitabine, or gemcitabine and placebo. Randomization will be stratified by ECOG (0 or 1).

Gemcitabine will be given on days 1, 8, and 15, followed by AMG 479 on days 1 and 15 of every 28 day cycle. Treatment will continue until radiographic disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or start of a new anti-cancer therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Primary Endpoint is Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Defined as the Time From Randomization to Progression (Per RECIST v1.1) or Death.

    The time from randomization to progression (per RECIST version 1.1) or death from any cause. Disease progression per RECIST is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions in reference to the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm; the appearance of any new lesions is also considered progression.

    Measured: From randomization to the date of either disease progression or death, up to 181 days progression or death

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Overall Survival

    OS - time from study day 1 to death (by any cause)

    Measured: Up to 181 days

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Measured via CTCAE v3.0

    Measured: Up to 4 months

  3. Progression Free Survival Rate and Overall Survival Rate at at 3 and 6 Months, Objective Response Rate, Disease Control Rate

    PFS rates - subjects with disease progression (PD) or death at the timepoint; OS rates - subjects alive at the timepoint; ORR - tumor response assessment of either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST); DCR - subjects with PR, CR, or SD Per RECIST: CR=disappearance of all target lesions; PR=at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; Disease progression=at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions in reference to the smallest sum on study; stable disease is disease that is not partial or progressed

    Measured: Up to 181 days

  4. Duration of Response

    DOR - time from the first observation of an objective response (subjects with CR or PR) to the time of PD or death; Per RECIST: CR=disappearance of all target lesions; PR=at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; Disease progression=at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions in reference to the smallest sum on study; stable disease is disease that is not partial or progressed

    Measured: Up to 181 days

  5. Number of Participants With Anti-AMG 479 Antibodies

    post-dose anti-AMG 479 antibody positive rate

    Measured: Up to 181 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemcitabine and AMG 479 in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas and Locally Advanced, run by NantBioScience, Inc. at 35 sites in 13 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 8 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in Hungary, Russia, South Korea, Austria, Czechia and 8 more countries. 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 8 Nov 2024). 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?

The Primary Endpoint is Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Defined as the Time From Randomization to Progression (Per RECIST v1.1) or Death. (time frame: From randomization to the date of either disease progression or death, up to 181 days progression or death). 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 8 Nov 2024.
