Who may be able to join

  • Age >/= 18 years old

  • Use of effective means of contraception (men and women) in subjects of child-bearing potential
  • Obstructive jaundice must be relieved before inclusion
  • Adequate hepatic, renal, and bone marrow function: leukocytes >= 3,000/uL, absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/uL, platelets >= 100,000/uL, total bilirubin < = 1.5 X institutional upper limits of normal (ULN), AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) <= 2.5 X institutional ULN, creatinine <= 1.5 mg/dL

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have recurrent disease within 6 months after pancreaticoduodenectomy or had received adjuvant therapy within 6 months of disease recurrence.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including:
  • Active infection
  • Cardiovascular: New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade II or greater congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmias not well controlled with medication, myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months, blood pressure > 150/100 mmHg
  • Clinically significant peripheral vascular disease
Show all 19Show fewer
  • History of stroke within previous 6 months
  • Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
  • Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 0, anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study.

  • History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 28 days prior to Day 0
  • Serious, non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture
  • Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurological dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurological and other adverse events. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain is not needed for eligibility and will be done only if the patient presents with symptoms suggestive of brain metastases.
  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents, or have participated in any investigational drug study within 28 days preceding start of study treatment.
  • The teratogenic potential of this combination is currently unknown. Women who are pregnant or lactating are excluded.
  • History of any other malignancy in the last 5 years, except patients with a prior history of in situ cancer or basal or squamous cell skin cancer.
  • Peripheral neuropathy > grade 1
  • Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Bevacizumab Plus Gemcitabine™ and Oxaliplatin™ as First Line Therapy in Metastatic or Locally Advanced (Unresectable) Pancreatic Cancer

The purpose of this study is to find out if giving patients bevacizumab along with the chemotherapy drugs oxaliplatin and gemcitabine will improve overall survival.

In addition, the study will find out what side effects patients may have by taking bevacizumab, oxaliplatin, and gemcitabine together.

Read the detailed description

Design:

  • A phase II single arm study. All patients receive bevacizumab 10mg/kg and gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 on day 1 followed by oxaliplatin 100mg/m2 on day 2 of a 14 day cycle.

Purpose:

  • The purpose of this study is to find out if giving patients bevacizumab, along with the chemotherapy drugs oxaliplatin and gemcitabine, will improve overall survival. In addition, the study will find out what side effects patients may have by taking bevacizumab, oxaliplatin and gemcitabine together.

Enrollment:

  • Approximately 30 patients will be enrolled to the study between the University of Oklahoma and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Duration:

  • The study will be conducted over approximately 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bevacizumab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin in people with Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer, run by University of Oklahoma at 2 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 19 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 9 Jul 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

To determine the overall survival (OS) rate at 1 year in this patient population, treated with the combination therapy of bevacizumab plus gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (time frame: One year). 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 9 Jul 2008.
