About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label Phase 2 Study of Nanoliposomal Irinotecan (Nal-IRI)-Containing Regimens Versus Nab-Paclitaxel Plus Gemcitabine in Patients With Previously Untreated, Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

This is an open-label, phase 2 non-comparative study to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of nal-IRI in combination with other anticancer therapies in patients not previously treated for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This study will assess the following regimen:

  • nal-IRI + 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV) + oxaliplatin
Read more

The study will be conducted in two parts:

Part 1, consisting of an initial dose exploration (Part 1A) followed by dose expansion (Part 1B) of the irinotecan liposome injection +5-FU/LV + oxaliplatin regimen and Part 2, consisting of a comparison of irinotecan liposome injection-containing regimen versus nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine. The comparative Part 2 was removed in a protocol amendment, dated 11 April 2018 (Version 6.0), before it was initiated, as this comparative part of the study is being undertaken as a stand-alone phase III study D-US-60010-001. This CSR only pertains to the single-arm dose exploration and dose expansion Part 1 results and no further reference is made to the comparative Part 2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Part 1A: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT)

    Adverse events (AEs) were considered to be DLTs if they occurred during the safety evaluation period (i.e, 28 days of Cycle 1; or 14 days after the second dose of study treatment if there was a treatment delay) and were deemed related to the study treatment regimen. Any AE that was related to disease progression was not considered a DLT.

    Measured: From the start of the first study treatment (Cycle 1 Day 1) up to 14 days after the second dose of study treatment, maximum of 42 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    The PFS was defined as the time from date of first study treatment to the first documented radiographical progression of disease (PD), per investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1, or death from any cause, whichever comes first. The PFS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier technique.

    Measured: RECIST assessments performed at baseline (within 28 days before start of study treatment), every 8 weeks after first dose, end of treatment (EoT) visit, then every 2 months thereafter (maximum of 278 weeks).

  2. Best Overall Response (BOR)

    The BOR was defined as the best response (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]) recorded from the start of study treatment until disease progression or start of new anticancer therapy using RECIST Version 1.1.

    Measured: RECIST assessments performed at baseline (within 28 days before start of study treatment), every 8 weeks after first dose, EoT visit, then every 2 months thereafter (maximum of 278 weeks).

  3. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a BOR characterized as either a CR or PR relative to the total number of evaluable participants using RECIST Version 1.1. Evaluable participants were defined as treated participants with measurable disease at baseline.

    Measured: RECIST assessments performed at baseline (within 28 days before start of study treatment), every 8 weeks after first dose, EoT visit, then every 2 months thereafter (maximum of 278 weeks).

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    The DCR was defined as percentage of participants with CR or PR or SD or Non-PD/Non-CR, per RECIST Version 1.1 relative to total number of treated participants with measurable disease at baseline.

    Measured: At Week 16

  5. Median Overall Survival (OS)

    The OS was the time from date of first study treatment to the date of death from any cause. Participant survival data were collected from all available sources. The OS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier technique.

    Measured: RECIST assessments performed at baseline (within 28 days before start of study treatment), every 8 weeks after first dose, EoT visit, then every 2 months thereafter (maximum of 278 weeks).

  6. Median Duration of Response (DoR)

    The DoR was defined as the time from the first date of response (CR or PR) to first date of documented radiographical PD, per investigator using RECIST Version 1.1. This only applied to participants with CR or PR. If a participant was given a new anticancer therapy prior to first response, DoR was not calculated. The DoR was calculated using Kaplan-Meier technique.

    Measured: RECIST assessments performed at baseline (within 28 days before start of study treatment), every 8 weeks after first dose, EoT visit, then every 2 months thereafter (maximum of 278 weeks).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing nal-IRI, 5 fluorouracil and Leucovorin in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Ipsen at 36 sites in 3 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 7 inclusion and 12 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 10 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 36 sites in United States, Spain, Australia. 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 10 Oct 2022). 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?

Part 1A: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT) (time frame: From the start of the first study treatment (Cycle 1 Day 1) up to 14 days after the second dose of study treatment, maximum of 42 days). 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 NCT02551991, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 10 Oct 2022.
