  • Have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug (if patient is a female of childbearing potential).
  • Sign a written informed consent form.
  • Have adequate organ function as indicated by acceptable laboratory values obtained within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

Who cannot join

  • Have received any prior therapy for the treatment of their pancreatic malignancy (including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, major surgery, or irradiation, whether conventional or investigational).
  • Have an active, uncontrolled systemic infection considered opportunistic, life threatening or clinically significant at the time of treatment.
  • Are pregnant or lactating.
  • Have a psychiatric disorder(s) that would interfere with consent, study participation, or follow-up.
  • Have any other severe concurrent disease, which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of ARQ 501 in Combination With Gemcitabine in Adult Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

The study will document the safety and efficacy of the combination of ARQ 501 and gemcitabine in patients with treatment-naïve, unresectable, metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-arm, non-randomized study of ARQ 501 in combination with gemcitabine in adult patients with treatment-naïve, unresectable, metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The study objectives are:

Primary Objective:

  • Assess the overall response rate (ORR) of patients treated with ARQ 501 in combination with gemcitabine.

Secondary Objectives:

  • Determine time to tumor progression (TTP) of patients treated with ARQ 501 in combination with gemcitabine
  • Further characterize the safety of ARQ 501 in combination with gemcitabine
Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ARQ 501 in combination with gemcitabine in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Adenocarcinoma, run by ArQule, Inc., a subsidiary of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, NJ USA) at 15 sites in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 7 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 Apr 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in United States. 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?

Document progression free survival after treatment with ARQ 501 and gemcitabine. 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 29 Apr 2009.
