Trial summary

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the fourth cause of death in the Western world. Surgery remains the only treatment offering an advantage in terms of overall survival (5-year survival range, 15-25%), but unfortunately only 10-20% of patients present resectable disease at the time of diagnosis.

About this study

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the fourth cause of death in the Western world. Surgery remains the only treatment offering an advantage in terms of overall survival (5-year survival range, 15-25%), but unfortunately only 10-20% of patients present resectable disease at the time of diagnosis. Since the approval of gemcitabine as a standard treatment for advanced pancreatic patients, no drug or combination of drugs has significantly improved the prognosis. Recently, as compared with gemcitabine, FOLFIRINOX was associated with a survival advantage (11.1 vs 6.8 months), but had increased toxicity. In some retrospective studies, modified FOLFIRINOX regimen (60/120 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin and irinotecan) has an improved safety profile in digestive malignancies. The purpose of this phase II multicenter study was to investigate the efficacy and safety in patients with pancreatic cancer who progressed in gemcitabine-based first line chemotherapy.

What participants receive

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

  • modified FOLFIRINOX regimenDrug

    Modified FOLFIRINOX regimen consisted of oxaliplatin at a dose of 60 mg per square meter, given as a 2-hour intravenous infusion, after 60 minutes, of irinotecan at a dose of 120 mg per square meter, given as a 90-minute intravenous infusion, immediately followed by leucovorin at a dose of 400 mg per square meter, given as a 2-hour intravenous infusion through a Y-connector. This treatment was immediately followed by fluorouracil at a dose of 400 mg per square meter, administered by intravenous bolus, followed by a continuous intravenous infusion of 2400 mg per square meter over a 46-hour period every 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing modified FOLFIRINOX regimen in people with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by Yonsei University.

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 10 inclusion and 8 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 18 Feb 2019. 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?

True response rate (time frame: within 16 weeks). 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 18 Feb 2019.
