What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Cohort: Overall Survival (OS) Censored at 138 Deaths (ITT Set)

    OS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) methods with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), with censoring at the date when 138 deaths were reached in the Primary Cohort in the FAS. Subjects without documentation of death at the time of final analysis were censored as of the date the subject was last known to be alive on/prior to the primary analysis data cut.

    Measured: Subjects were followed from date of randomization to the date of death by any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 32 months. Analysis conducted when 138 deaths reached in the Primary Cohort in the FAS.

  2. Primary Cohort: OS (All Data, FAS)

    For all treated subjects, OS was calculated using KM methods with 95% CIs. Subjects without documentation of death at the time of the analysis were censored as of the date the subject was last known to be alive on/prior to the final analysis data cut.

    Measured: Subjects followed for survival from date of randomization until lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 32 months.

  3. 2nd-line Cohort: OS (All Data, FAS)

    For all treated subjects, OS was calculated using KM methods with 70% CIs. Subjects without documentation of death at the time of the analysis were censored as of the date the subject was last known to be alive on/prior to the final analysis cut. 70% CIs were selected to provide an 80% probability to rule out differences in median survival less than -2.4 months between the 2nd-line Cohort: Chemotherapy arm and the 2nd-line Cohort: Cy/GVAX + CRS-207 and 2nd-line Cohort: CRS-207 arms, based upon the assumptions made in the statistical analysis plan (SAP).

    Measured: Subjects followed for survival from date of randomization until lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 32 months.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events in Each Treatment Arm Treatment Regimen

    Safety was assessed based upon the number of adverse events (AEs) that occurred in the FAS of each treatment arm, including serious AEs and total AEs. Total AEs included both serious and non-serious AEs.

    Measured: From the start of the first study drug administration on Day 1, Week 1, through 28 days after the last study drug dose, assessed up to 32 months from the date of randomization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GVAX Pancreas Vaccine, CRS-207 and Chemotherapy in people with 2nd-line, 3rd-line and Greater Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer, run by Aduro Biotech, Inc. at 21 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 13 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 4 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in United States, Canada. 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 3 May 2018). 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?

Primary Cohort: Overall Survival (OS) Censored at 138 Deaths (ITT Set) (time frame: Subjects were followed from date of randomization to the date of death by any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 32 months. Analysis conducted when 138 deaths reached in the Primary Cohort in the FAS.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02004262, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 4 Jun 2018.
