Trial summary

This clinical trial is being conducted to determine tumor response and preliminary safety of a monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to a cell surface receptor (α5β1 integrin) that is required for the establishment of new blood vessels during tumor growth, a process known as angiogenesis.

About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Open-Label Study of Volociximab (M200) in Combination With Gemcitabine in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Not Previously Treated With Chemotherapy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • VolociximabDrug

    Volociximab: 10 mg/kg or 15mg/kg every week or every other week (qowk) via IV infusion for up to 104 weeks.

  • GemcitabineDrug

    Gemcitabine: Standard chemotherapy regime at 1 g/m2 once per week for 3 weeks via IV infusion, followed by one week with no treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of patients, in each dose cohort, with a confirmed tumor response

    Measured: Any time during the course of the trial (up to 104 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Duration of progression-free survival

    Measured: During the course of the trial (up to 104 weeks)

  2. Time to disease progression

    Measured: During the course of the trial (up to 104 weeks)

  3. Duration of overall survival

    Measured: During the course of the trial (up to 104 weeks)

  4. To evaluate the safety in of M200 in combination with gemcitabine

    Measured: During the course of the trial (up to 104 weeks)

  5. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of M200

    Measured: During the course of the trial (up to 104 weeks)

  6. To evaluate the immunogenicity of M200

    Measured: During the course of the trial (up to 104 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Volociximab and Gemcitabine in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott) at 6 sites in 2 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 6 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 30 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United Kingdom, 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?

The proportion of patients, in each dose cohort, with a confirmed tumor response (time frame: Any time during the course of the trial (up to 104 weeks)). 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 30 Jan 2013.
