About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Nab-paclitaxel Plus S-1 in First-line Treatment of Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) plus S-1 as first-line treatment in Chinese patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA).

Read the detailed description

Advanced PDA is a lethal disease with a approximately 6 months of median survival. Gemcitabine is always the only approved single agent. The recent results of the phase III trial MPACT (Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Clinical Trial) demonstrated an improvement in overall response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for the combination of nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine compared to gemcitabine alone. Thus, the combination of nab-paclitaxel with gemcitabine became one of a standard treatment in metastatic PDA. S-1 is an oral fluoropyrimidine, and shown to be non-inferior to gemcitabine on OS for unresectable pancreatic cancer, and also demonstrated non-inferior, and even superior to gemcitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy. This single-arm study is to explore the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus S-1 as first-line treatment in Chinese patients with local advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

What participants receive

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

  • nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxelDrug

    Also called nab-paclitaxel, Abraxane, ABI-007

    nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel is given at 120 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 and 8 of each 21 day cycle. Number of cycles: 6 cycles.

  • S-1Drug

    S-1 is orally administered (40-60 mg according to the body surface, twice a day) on day 1-14 of each 21 day cycle. Number of cycles: 6 cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate

    Percentage of patients who achieve partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    Measured: Measure at every 6 weeks (every 2 cycles)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Measure of time from study treatment to disease progression or death.

    Measured: up to 15 months

  2. Overall survival

    Measure of time from study treatment to patient's death or lost to follow-up.

    Measured: up to 2 years

  3. Disease control rate

    The sum of rates of partial response, complete response and steady disease based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    Measured: Measure every 6 weeks (every 2 cycles)

  4. Safety and tolerability

    Percentage of patients who experience adverse events during this study.

    Measured: up to 18 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel and S-1 in people with Advanced Pancreatic Cancer, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 8 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Objective response rate (time frame: Measure at every 6 weeks (every 2 cycles)). 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 NCT02124317, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Dec 2016.
