About this study

Official title: Phase II Study: Docetaxel Plus Oxaliplatin as Second-line Therapy in Patients With Advanced Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

The purpose of this study is to test a combination-therapy of oxaliplatin and docetaxel in patients with metastatic or locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas after failure of a palliative first line therapy.

Read the detailed description

For years Fluorouracil was the established treatment for pancreatic cancer with median survival times up to 8 months. Since 1997 Gemcitabine is also a standard therapy with in comparison to Fluorouracil a significant better clinical benefit.

But after progression of the disease under a palliative first-line therapy there is no established second line therapy for pancreatic cancer.

So the purpose of this study is to test the combination of Oxaliplatin and Docetaxel in patients with metastatic or locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas after failure of a palliative first line therapy to get a reasonable second line concept.

What participants receive

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

  • DocetaxelDrug

    Also called Taxotere

    75 mg/m2 IV on day 1 of each 22 day cycle

  • OxaliplatinDrug

    Also called Eloxatin

    80 mg/m2 IV on day 2 of each 22 day cycle

What is being measured

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

  1. tumor response

    Measured: 12/2009 and end of the study 12/2010

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. progression free survival

    Measured: 12/2009 and end of study 12/2010

  2. overall survival

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel and Oxaliplatin in people with Pancreas Neoplasms, run by University of Ulm at 5 sites in Germany.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Thomas Seufferlein, Prof. Dr. (49-345-5572661, thomas.seufferlein@medizin.uni-halle.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

tumor response (time frame: 12/2009 and end of the study 12/2010). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00690300, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Mar 2010.
