About this study
Official title: 09.017 - A Phase I Study of Tolfenamic Acid With Gemcitabine and Radiation in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Requiring Definitive or Palliative Radiation Therapy
The purposes of this study are to:
- Evaluate the safety and toxicity of tolfenamic acid when used with gemcitabine and radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
- Determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of tolfenamic acid when used with gemcitabine and radiation in pancreatic cancer.
- Characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of tolfenamic acid when used with gemcitabine and radiation.
- Assess the anti-tumor response to tolfenamic acid when used with gemcitabine and radiation in patients with advanced pancreatic malignancies.
Read the detailed description
This is a phase I, open-label, non-randomized, single-center, dose-escalation study which utilizes tolfenamic acid in combination with gemcitabine and radiation in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic malignancies which require definitive or palliative radiation.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are known to have a variety of anti-neoplastic mechanisms, including inhibition of cell growth, promotion of apoptosis and inhibition of angiogenesis. Tolfenamic acid is an oral (NSAID) migraine medication which has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in preclinical pancreatic models when used with Gem/XRT (gemcitabine and radiation therapy) and as a single agent.
Each patient enrolled will receive tolfenamic acid in combination with Gem/XRT. Depending on cohort assignment, patients will self-administer tolfenamic acid at either 200mg, 400mg, 600mg or 800mg three times per day. Gemcitabine will be administered intravenously at 400 mg/m2, every seven days for a maximum of 5 doses, starting with the second week of tolfenamic acid administration. Radiation will be given 5 days per week (Monday-Friday) for up to 5 ½ weeks for a maximum dose of 50.4 Gy, beginning with the second week of tolfenamic acid administration.
A maximum of 24 patients will be enrolled in the dose escalation portion of the study. After the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tolfenamic acid has been determined, patients will be enrolled in an expansion cohort (at the MTD or the highest dose level achieved if the MTD is not reached) to further assess safety and the anti-tumor response to treatment with tolfenamic acid plus Gem/XRT.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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 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?
Evaluate safety and toxicity (time frame: Approximately 16 weeks). 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 NCT02159248, which also lists 39 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 28 Apr 2015.
