About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open, Randomised Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of AZD6244 vs. Capecitabine (Xeloda®) in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer, Who Have Failed First Line Gemcitabine Therapy

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of AZD6244 (ARRY-142886)versus capecitabine in patients with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who have failed first-line therapy with gemcitabine. Following baseline assessments, a minimum of 64 patients in approximately 5-6 centers from the US will be treated with either AZD6244 or capecitabine. Treatment will be continued for as long as the patients receive clinical benefit. The status of all patients will be checked (whether they are still taking treatment or not) approximately 3 months after the last patient has entered the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Median time to death (TTD)

    The TTD (days) was calculated as the interval from date of randomisation to date of patient death (from any cause). Patients who had not died at the time of the final analysis were censored at the last date the patient was known to be alive. Median TTD in days is presented here.

    Measured: Data cut off for this analysis was 5th April 2008.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression event count

    The number of patients with a progression event occurring on or before MTAV where an event is defined as Objective and/or clinical disease progression as measured using RECIST criteria, or death from any cause

    Measured: The mandatory tumour assessment visit (MTAV) occurred on 27th February 2008 (+/-3days)

  2. To assess the safety and tolerability of AZD6244 in the treatment of advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer by review of adverse events (AEs) and laboratory parameters.

    Measured: Review of AEs for duration of study, from First Subject in August 2006 to Last Subject Last visit October 2008

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AZD6244 and capecitabine in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 17 sites in 5 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States, Bulgaria, Australia, Hungary, Romania. 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?

Median time to death (TTD) (time frame: Data cut off for this analysis was 5th April 2008.). 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 Aug 2014.
