Trial summary

Pancreatic cancer is considered a rare form of cancer with about 277,000 new cases diagnosed in 2008 world-wide, which is about 2.5% of all forms of cancer. However, pancreatic cancer is more common in developed countries where the rate of this tumor is on the rise compared to other types of cancer. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 years or older
  • Histologically documented diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
  • Patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma or borderline resectable disease that after neoadjuvant treatment are considered appropriate candidates for resection
  • ECOG or Performance Status of 0-2
  • Patients with adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function, as specified below:
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL
  • Platelets ≥ 80 x 109/L
  • Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN(upper limit of normal)
  • AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN if liver metastases are present
  • Plasma creatine phosphokinase (CK) < 1.5 x ULN
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or 24-hour clearance ≥ 50ml/min
  • Written informed consent obtained prior to any study specific screening procedures

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have had major surgery within 4 weeks of initiation of study medication.
  • Patients with concurrent uncontrolled medical conditions that may interfere with their participation in the study or potentially affect the interpretation of the study data.
  • Patients unable to take oral drugs or with lack of physical integrity of the upper gastrointestinal tract or known malabsorption syndromes.
  • Patients who have previously been treated with systemic LDE225 or with other Hh pathway inhibitors.
  • a) Patients who have neuromuscular disorders (e.g. inflammatory myopathies, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and spinal muscular atrophy) or are on concomitant treatment with drugs that are recognized to cause rhabdomyolysis, such as HMG CoA inhibitors (statins), clofibrate and gemfibrozil, and that cannot be discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to starting LDE225 treatment. If it is essential that the patient stays on a statin to control hyperlididemia, only pravastatin may be used with extra caution. b) Patients who are planning on embarking on a new strenuous exercise regimen after initiation of study treatment. NB: Muscular activities, such as strenuous exercise, that can result in significant increases in plasma CK levels should be avoided whilst on LDE225 treatment.
  • Patients who have taken part in an experimental drug study within 4 weeks of initiating treatment with LDE225.
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Patients who are receiving other anti-neoplastic therapy (e.g. chemotherapy, targeted therapy or radiotherapy) concurrently or within 2 weeks of starting treatment with LDE225.
  • Patients who are receiving treatment with medications known to be moderate and strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4/5 or drugs metabolized by CYP2B6 or CYP2C9 that have narrow therapeutic index, and that cannot be discontinued before starting treatment with LDE225. Medications that are strong CYP3A4/5 inhibitors should be discontinued at least 7 days and strong CYP3A/5 inducers for at least 2 weeks prior to starting treatment with LDE225.
  • Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test (> 5 mIU/mL).
  • Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, including women whose career, lifestyle, or sexual orientation precludes intercourse with a male partner and women whose partners have been sterilized by vasectomy or other means, UNLESS they are using two birth control methods. The two methods can be a double barrier method or a barrier method plus a hormonal method. Adequate barrier methods of contraception include:
  • Diaphragm, condom (by the partner), intrauterine device (copper or hormonal), sponge or spermicide. Hormonal contraceptives include any marketed contraceptive agent that includes an estrogen and/or a progestational agent.
  • Reliable contraception should be maintained throughout the study and for 3 months after study drug discontinuation.
  • Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol.
  • Patients who are not candidates to undergo laparoscopic examination and biopsy

About this study

Pancreatic cancer is considered a rare form of cancer with about 277,000 new cases diagnosed in 2008 world-wide, which is about 2.5% of all forms of cancer. However, pancreatic cancer is more common in developed countries where the rate of this tumor is on the rise compared to other types of cancer.

LDE225 is a new medicine that blocks a cellular pathway (called Hedgehog pathway) that is thought to be changed in some patients with pancreatic cancer. LDE225 is a medicine which has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of people with your medical condition. The medicine being tested in this study is currently not "on the market" (available to buy) in any country.

The purpose of this study is to see the effect LDE225 has on blood and tumors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LDE225 in people with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by University of Utah at 1 site 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 13 inclusion and 14 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2016. 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability (time frame: 36 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 9 Jun 2016.
