About this study

Official title: An Open, Multiple Dose, Single Centre Study to Determine the Antibody Response to G17DT in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer.

The study was designed to assess the effect of jaundice on the ability of G17DT to generate antibodies before and after treatment of biliary obstruction due to advances pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

Jaundiced patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (either locally, advanced or metastatic) were treated with G17DT either immediately (Group A), or following biliary stenting when jaundice had resolved (Group B). Patients not jaundiced at time of presentation were to enter Group B. Patients received 3 Intramuscular injections of G17DT at weeks 0, 1, and 3. A booster injection was offered to patients who had measurable anit-G17Dt antibodies but had anti-G17DT antibodies that fell below a pre-specified threshold after week 23. Patients were evaluated until study closure ort until patient death.

Study groups in NCT02098239
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group AActive comparatorJaundiced patients with bilirubin value >80 μmol/L. Received G17DT immediately prior to biliary stenting.
Receives: Drug: G17DT
Group BActive comparatorPatients to be treated following biliary decompression or for immediate treatment if non-jaundiced. Received G17DT 2 weeks after biliary stenting when bilirubin was <40 μmol/L.
Receives: Drug: G17DT

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacodynamic

    Gastrin-17 antibodies were measured at baseline (Week 0) and measured at each post-treatment visit.

    Measured: Weeks 0, 1,3,4,6,8,12, 16+

  2. Patient Survival

    The vital status of patients was monitored throughout the study and was followed until death or the end of the study.

    Measured: Up to week 139

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Injection Tolerability

    Tolerability was assessed by injection site during first 16 weeks after the first injection.

    Measured: Up to Week 16

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing G17DT in people with Jaundice and Pancreatic Cancer, run by Cancer Advances Inc..

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 27 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Pharmacodynamic (time frame: Weeks 0, 1,3,4,6,8,12, 16+). 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 27 Mar 2014.
