About this study

The primary objective of the study is to Evaluate the response rate of Gemcitabine with TS-1 in Korean patient with advanced but inoperable, metastatic or recurrent pancreatic cancer who is not receiving anti cancer therapy.

Read the detailed description

To date, curative treatment of pancreatic cancer is surgery.But patients with operable indication are rare, most of patients present with locally advanced or general advanced stage at diagnosis. Thus the majority of patients need chemotherapy.But efficacy outcomes have not seemed to increase overall survival comparing with none treated control group.In Korea the incidence of pancreatic cancer increases steadily. Prognosis is poor. So now the effective treatment is necessary.There are no phase 2 trialsabout combining gemcitabine and TS-1 against advanced pancreatic cancer.according to phase 1 trial of advanced pancreatic cancer (nakamura et al)toxicities more than 3 grade are neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, anorexia, etc that can be treated.Phase 1 trial is not study to evaluate the response rate. But among 21 patients who can be evaluated the response rate, 10 patients have Partial response or Complete response.This combination therapy seemed to havetolerable toxicity and remarkable therapeutic effect for locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.So therapy combining gemcitabine with TS-1 is expected synergic and additional effect.

This trial is phase 2, open-label, multi-center, single arm study The total sample size will be 38 patients. Patient will be administered chemotherapy until disease progression. Gemcitabine will be administered at a dose of 1000 mg/m2 every 3weeks (on day 1 of each cycle) TS-1 will be administered 80 mg/m2 orally twice daily for 14 days every 3 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gemcitabine, TS-1 in people with Pancreatic Neoplasm and Neoplasm Metastasis, run by Korea University Anam Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 1 Nov 2007. 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 South Korea. 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?

Response rate by RECIST criteria. 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 1 Nov 2007.
