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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

To assess the response rate associated with gemcitabine, erlotinib and cisplatin in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (time frame: Clinically assessed every cycle (month) and radiologically assessed every 2 cycles (6 weeks) with CT scan). 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 NCT00922896, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
