About this study

Official title: A Phase I/ II, Non-randomized, Feasibility/ Safety and Efficacy Study of the Combination of Everolimus, Cetuximab and Capecitabine in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

In this study the investigators want to determine the activity and safety of concurrent interruption of the MAPK and PI3K pathways by EGFR and mTOR inhibition in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

This phase I/II non randomized single center study will be performed as a two step design. Part I is dose finding, whereby dose escalations will be performed for everolimus and capecitabine. Part II is the efficacy study. At the MTD doses in part II biomarker studies will be performed in blood and tumor tissue. Study design phase I part: The first week patients will be treated with everolimus alone. Capecitabine will be administered for 14 days in a 3 weekly cycle, starting on day 8. Cetuximab will be administered weekly, starting at day 8. The dose is fixed for cetuximab during study treatment, whereas the doses of everolimus and capecitabine will differ per dose level. First dose level: Everolimus 5 mg daily continuously, Capecitabine 600 mg/m2 bid for 2 weeks every 3 weeks, Cetuximab 400mg/m2 (120 min infusion) first dose, thereafter 250 mg/m2 (60 min infusion) weekly. Second dose level: Everolimus 10 mg daily continuously, Capecitabine 600 mg/m2 bid for 2 weeks every 3 weeks, Cetuximab 400mg/m2 (120 min infusion) first dose, thereafter 250 mg/m2 (60 min infusion) weekly. Third dose level: Everolimus 10 mg daily continuously, Capecitabine 800 mg/m2 bid for 2 weeks every 3 weeks, Cetuximab 400mg/m2 (120 min infusion) first dose, thereafter 250 mg/m2 (60 min infusion) weekly. Study design phase II part At the MTD 14-25 patients with pancreatic cancer will be included. In the phase II part, everolimus will be administered during one week before start of cetuximab. At day 8 the first dose of cetuximab will be administered. Capecitabine will be started one week thereafter. This enables us to perform pharmacodynamic studies to assess biomarker changes during the different phases of treatment. Everolimus will be administered continuously in a dose of 5 or 10 mg orally once daily (dependent on MTD from part 1). Capecitabine will be administered orally in a dose of 400 - 800 mg/m2 twice daily for 14 days followed by one week rest (dependent on MTD from part 1). Patients will receive cetuximab infusions via an infusion pump, with an initial dose of 400 mg/m² (over 120 min) and subsequent weekly infusions of 250 mg/m² (over 60 min), starting day 8.

What participants receive

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

  • CapecitabineDrug

    Also called Xeloda

    Capecitabine will be administered for 14 days in a 3 weekly cycle, starting on day 8.

  • CetuximabDrug

    Also called Erbitux

    Cetuximab will be administered weekly, starting at day 8.

  • EverolimusDrug

    Also called certican

    Everolimus will be administered daily, starting on day 1.

What is being measured

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

  1. phase I part: assessment of the dose limiting toxicity

    Measured: During treatment: assessments on day 1 every cycle (3 weeks). After treatment: every 3 months during the first 2 years, and every 6 months thereafter

  2. phase II part: response rate

    Measured: Assessments after every 3 cycles (9 weeks).

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to treatment failure

    Measured: Every 3 months during the first 2 years, and every 6 months thereafter.

  2. Overall survival

    Measured: Every 3 months during the first 2 years, and every 6 months thereafter.

  3. Toxicity profile

    Measured: During treatment: assessments on day 1 every cycle (3 weeks). After treatment: every 3 months during the first 2 years, and every 6 months thereafter.

  4. Pharmacodynamics: biomarkers in blood and tumor tissue

    Measured: Day 1, 8 and 22 during treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Capecitabine, Cetuximab and Everolimus in people with Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 11 inclusion and 5 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 21 Apr 2021. 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 Netherlands. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

phase I part: assessment of the dose limiting toxicity (time frame: During treatment: assessments on day 1 every cycle (3 weeks). After treatment: every 3 months during the first 2 years, and every 6 months thereafter). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Apr 2021.
