Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic cancer (ductal adenocarcinoma and related subtypes eligible; endocrine and neuroendocrine tumors excluded)
  • Received at least 1, but no more than 2, chemotherapy-based regimens for locally advanced or metastatic disease and has relapsed or progressive disease. Patients no longer able to continue treatment with chemotherapy due to intolerable toxicity may be considered for study participation provided that radiology assessment confirms either stable disease or disease progression (i.e. no response to treatment)

  • Measurable disease

Who cannot join

  • Presence of another active cancer
  • Prior treatment with any PARP inhibitor, including rucaparib. Patients treated with prior iniparib are eligible.
  • Symptomatic and/or untreated central nervous system metastases.
  • Clinical evidence of malabsorption and/or any other gastrointestinal disorder or defect that would, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with the absorption of rucaparib.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label Study of Rucaparib in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer and a Known Deleterious BRCA Mutation

The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral rucaparib is effective in the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer and a known deleterious BRCA mutation.

Read the detailed description

Rucaparib is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of poly-adenosine diphosphate [ADP] ribose polymerase (PARP) that inhibits a specific DNA repair pathway known as base excision repair (BER). PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have been shown to effectively kill tumors with a defect in BRCA1 or BRCA2. Clinical benefit has been observed in patients with a gBRCA mutation as well as in those with a somatic BRCA (sBRCA) mutation. Clinical data have also shown that pancreatic cancer patients with a gBRCA mutation benefit from PARPi treatment. Clinical activity of PARP inhibitors in BRCA-mutated pancreatic cancer combined with the paucity of 2nd line therapies support evaluation of rucaparib in pancreatic cancer patients known to harbor a deleterious BRCA mutation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RucaparibDrug

    Also called CO-338, PF 01367338, AG 14699

    All patients will take oral tablets twice daily with 8 oz (240 mL) of water on an empty stomach or with food; 28-day cycles of treatment. Doses should be taken as close to 12 hours apart as possible, preferably at the same times every day. Tablets should be swallowed whole.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator

    Measured: Screening, within 7 days prior to the start of every 3rd cycle of treatment, and Treatment Discontinuation Visit. Study to last for ~3 years.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by independent radiology review

    Measured: Screening, within 7 days prior to the start of every 3rd cycle of treatment, and Treatment Discontinuation Visit. Study to last for ~3 years.

  2. Duration of Response (DOR) by RECIST v1.1

    Measured: Screening, within 7 days prior to the start of every 3rd cycle of treatment, and Treatment Discontinuation Visit. Study to last for ~3 years.

  3. PFS defined as the occurrence of disease progression according to RECIST v1.1, as assessed by the investigator, or death from any cause

    Measured: Screening, within 7 days prior to the start of every 3rd cycle of treatment, and Treatment Discontinuation Visit. Study to last for ~3 years.

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Measured: To be performed continually from first dose of study drug through discontinuation, then every 4 weeks until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent from study, or closure of the study. Study to last for ~3 years.

  5. Incidence of adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory abnormalities, and dose modifications

    Measured: Continuously from signing of informed consent to 28 days after the last dose. Study to last for ~3 years.

  6. Trough (Cmin) level rucaparib concentrations

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 2 Day 15, Cycle 3 Day 1, and Cycle 4 Day 1. Study to last for ~3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rucaparib in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by pharmaand GmbH at 8 sites in 2 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 13 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, Israel. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator (time frame: Screening, within 7 days prior to the start of every 3rd cycle of treatment, and Treatment Discontinuation Visit. Study to last for ~3 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 13 Jun 2023.
