About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Lenalidomide in Combination With Gemcitabine in Subjects With Untreated Advanced Carcinoma of the Pancreas

To evaluate the 6-month overall survival, safety, and tolerability of lenalidomide in combination with standard gemcitabine as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

Because the activity of lenalidomide addresses numerous mechanisms of carcinoma growth inhibition - including, but not limited to anti-angiogenesis - lenalidomide is being evaluated as part of induction chemotherapy regimens for solid tumors. This phase II study in previously untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer is designed to establish and test the appropriate lenalidomide dose and regimen in combination with gemcitabine.

What participants receive

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

  • LenalidomideDrug

    Also called Revlimid

    The starting dose of lenalidomide for the lead-in portion will be 25 mg orally daily on Days 1-21, followed by a 7-day rest period (28-day cycle). If the 25-mg dose of lenalidomide is found to be intolerable or unsafe (i.e., if more than one of the 6 patients experience a DLT), then the dose will be reduced to 20 mg orally daily, and 6 additional patients will be treated. All patients will receive lenalidomide at the confirmed tolerable dose (either 25 mg or 20 mg given orally daily on Days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle) until disease progression. If the 20-mg daily dose is found to be intolerable or unsafe, enrollment will be put on hold.

  • GemcitabineDrug

    Also called Gemzar

    Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 IV will be administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 for a 28-day cycle.

InterventionExperimentalThe study began with a lead-in portion to confirm the tolerability of lenalidomide (25mg PO days 1-21) in combination with gemcitabine (1000mg/m2 IV days 1, 8, and 15). After completion of the lead-in phase, all subsequent patients received lenalidomide 25mg PO on days 1-21 and gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 IV days 1, 8, and 15 of 28-day treatment cycles. Patients were instructed to take lenalidomide at approximately the same time each morning. Patients were permitted to continue treatment until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurred.

What is being measured

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

  1. Six-Month Overall Survival (OS) Probability, the Percentage of Patients Estimated to be Alive Six Months After Beginning Protocol Treatment

    The percentage of patients who were alive 6 months after beginning treatment

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS), the Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Worsening of Their Disease

    The length of time, in months, that patients were alive from their first date of protocol treatment until worsening of their disease

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Overall Survival (OS), the Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Death

    Length of time, in months, that patients were alive from their first date of protocol treatment until death

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lenalidomide and Gemcitabine in people with Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 9 sites in United States.

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 15 inclusion and 10 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 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Mar 2013). 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?

Six-Month Overall Survival (OS) Probability, the Percentage of Patients Estimated to be Alive Six Months After Beginning Protocol Treatment (time frame: 6 months). 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 Mar 2013.
