About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of the Halichondrin B Analog E7389 as Second Line Therapy for Patients With Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

This phase II trial is studying how well E7389 works as second-line therapy in treating patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as eribulin mesylate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To determine the objective response (complete and partial) to E7389 in patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma that progressed after prior gemcitabine hydrochloride-based therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To determine the antitumor activity of E7389, in terms of median survival, 1-year survival rate, response or stable disease duration, toxicity, and time to disease progression, in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study. Patients receive eribulin mesylate IV on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, all patients are followed at 4 weeks. Patients with complete response, partial response, or stable disease are followed every 3 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response (Complete and Partial) Evaluated Using RECIST Criteria

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Stable Disease Rate, Evaluated Using RECIST Criteria

    Stable disease is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Median Survival Time

    Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  3. Overall Survival

    Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: At 6 months

  4. Overall Survival

    Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: At 1 year

  5. Median Time to Disease Progression

    Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Duration of time from start of treatment until the criteria for progression are met, assessed up to 3 years

  6. Time to Progression

    Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Median time to progression

    Measured: At 6 months

  7. Time to Progression

    Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: At 1 year

  8. Response Duration

    Measured: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented, assessed up to 3 years

  9. Toxicity

    Types of Gr 3 or greater adverse events that are atleast possibly related to study drug

    Measured: All patients will be evaluable for toxicity from the time of their first treatment with E7389.

  10. Objective Stable Disease Rate

    Objective stable disease rate Using RECIST

    Measured: Upto 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing eribulin mesylate in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas and Pancreatic Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in Canada.

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 18 inclusion and 8 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 20 Oct 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 Canada. 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 9 Dec 2016). 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?

Objective Response (Complete and Partial) Evaluated Using RECIST Criteria (time frame: Up to 3 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 20 Oct 2017.
