About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of Low Dose of Decitabine Combined With Gemcitabine in First-line Treatment of Locally Advanced, Unresectable or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of very low dose decitabine combinate with gemcitabine in the first-line treatment of locally advanced, unresectable and metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study intends to advanced pancreatic cancer with row standard with district group random way is divided into two groups, a group for the gemcitabine monotherapy in the treatment group, another group of gemcitabine combined with low dose of decitabine treatment group. The overall survival, progression free survival, and disease control rate were observed in patients treated with combined therapy. At the same time, its safety and tolerance were observed. The methylation status and its influence on the immune function were also detected by biological test.

Being tested
Decitabine, Gemcitabine

What is being measured

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

  1. overall survival

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evidence of the size of the lesion in pancreas confirmed by non-investigational CT or MRI

    Measured: within every 28 days(plus or minus 3 days) ,up to 36 days. From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 50 months.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Decitabine and Gemcitabine in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by The First Hospital of Jilin 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 11 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

overall survival (time frame: 24 months). 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.
