About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Chemoradiotherapy Using Gemcitabine Plus Nab-paclitaxel for Unresectable Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of Gemcitabine plus nab-Paclitaxel chemoradiotherapy and to determine the Maximal Tolerated Dose (MTD) for unresectable locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Gemcitabine plus nab-Paclitaxel is one of the standard chemotherapy for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Gemcitabine plus nab-Paclitaxel realize the favorable anti-tumor effect and tolerable toxicity. Gemcitabine plus nab-Paclitaxel is a promising regimen for concurrent chemoradiotherapy, but the investigators need to know the safety in the case of the concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Gemcitabine, Nab-PaclitaxelExperimentalA conformal phase I study using 3 plus 3 method. Chemoradiotherapy while Gemcitabine, Nab-Paclitaxel are administered. Both Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel are an interventional agents in this arm. Gemcitabine is administered with 30 min intravenous infusion on day 1,8 and 15 every 4 weeks. Nab-Paclitaxel is administered with 30 min intravenous infusion on day 1,8 and 15 every 4 weeks. Radiotherapy (a total dose of 50.4Gy) was delivered in 28 fractions.
Receives: Drug: Gemcitabine; Drug: Nab-Paclitaxel

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Osaka Medical Center for Cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases at 1 site in Japan.

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 16 inclusion and 10 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 21 Nov 2017. 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 Japan. 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?

Number of patients with Adverse Events (time frame: 1 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 21 Nov 2017.
