    DLT was defined as any of the following events occurring during the first cycle of treatment and considered at least possibly-related to study medication: any Grade 3 or 4 clinically-relevant non-hematologic and/or hematologic toxicity, delay of more than 2 weeks in receiving the next scheduled cycle due to persisting treatment-related toxicities.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (28 days)

  2. Overall Survival (OS) in Phase 2

    Overall survival was the duration from randomization to death. For participants who are alive, overall survival was censored at the last contact.

    Measured: From start of study treatment, collected every 3 months until death (up to 5 years)

Secondary outcomes (28)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) by Seriousness and Relationship to Treatment in Phase 1

    Counts of participants who had treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), defined as newly occurring or worsening after first dose.

  22. Number of Participants With Objective Response (OR) in Phase 2

    Number of participants with objective response based on assessment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease, with the exception of nodal disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must decrease to normal (short axis less than (<) 10 mm). No new lesions. PR was defined as more than or equal to (>=) 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target lesions.

DR calculated as (months) = (progression/death date - first date of OR + 1) divided by 30.4. CR: disappearance of all target lesions. PR: at least 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.

    Measured: Baseline, every 8 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (up to 5 years)

  24. 1-year and 2-year OS in Phase 2

  25. Progression-free Survival (PFS) in Phase 2

    PFS was defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death on study due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PFS (in months) was calculated as (first event date - date of randomization +1) divided by 30.4.

    Measured: From start of study treatment, collected every 3 months until death (up to 5 years)

  26. Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-sf) Score - Phase 2

    BPI-sf is an 11-item self-report questionnaire that is designed to assess the severity and impact of pain on daily functions. BPI-sf are 4 questions that assess pain intensity (worst, least, average, right now) and 7 questions that assess impact of pain on daily functions (general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, enjoyment of life). Each question is answered on a scale ranging from 0 to 10; '0=No pain and 10=Pain as bad as you can imagine'. Measure can be scored by item, with lower scores being indicative of less pain or pain interference.

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycle 1 and subsequent cycles; end of treatment

  27. Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life Questionnaire (EQ-5D) - Phase 2

    EQ-5D: 6-item participant rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life in terms of a single utility score. There were 2 components: a Health State Profile and a Visual Analog Scale. Published weights are available that allow for the creation of a single summary score. Overall scores range from 0-1, with low scores representing a higher level of dysfunction.

    Measured: Baseline till end of treatment

  28. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) - Phase 2

    EORTC QLQ-C30: included functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), global health status, symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting) and single items (dyspnoea, appetite loss, insomnia, constipation/diarrhea and financial difficulties). Most questions used 4-point scale (1 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much'; 2 questions used 7-point scale (1 'very poor' to 7 'Excellent'). Scores averaged, transformed to 0-100 scale; higher score=better level of functioning or greater degree of symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline till end of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PF-03084014, Gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel in people with Metastatic Cancer Pancreas, run by Pfizer at 5 sites 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 5 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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.

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 12 Jun 2017). 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?

Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in Cycle 1 (time frame: Cycle 1 (28 days)). 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 10 Jan 2019.
