Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitomycin C and ifosfamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Mitomycin and Ifosfamide (MI) as Salvage Therapy for Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: a Phase II Study.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitomycin C and ifosfamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving mitomycin C together with ifosfamide works in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To assess the therapeutic activity of a mitomycin C and ifosfamide combination, in terms of progression-free survival rate at 6 months, in patients with metastatic stage IV adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

OUTLINE: Patients receive mitomycin C IV on day 1 and ifosfamide IV on days 1-3. Courses repeat every 4 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Being tested
ifosfamide, mitomycin C
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • ifosfamideDrug

    Also called HOLOXAN

    2,500 mg/mq on days 1-3 every 28 days

  • mitomycin CDrug

    Also called Mutamycin

    8 mg/mq on day 1 every 28 days

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival at 6 months

    CT scan

    Measured: every 2 months during therapy; every 3 months thereafter

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Toxicity

    outpatient visit

    Measured: monthly

  2. Progression-free survival

    CT scan

    Measured: every 2 months during therapy; every 3 months thereafter

  3. Overall survival

    outpatient visit or phone interview

    Measured: monthly

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ifosfamide and mitomycin C in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by IRCCS San Raffaele at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2012. 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 Italy. 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 was stopped early (reason given: lack of activity and G3-4 toxicity at interim analysis). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Progression-free survival at 6 months (time frame: every 2 months during therapy; every 3 months thereafter). 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 Feb 2012.
