Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient has definitive histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent and metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. The definitive diagnosis of recurrent and metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma will be made by integrating the histopathological data within the context of the clinical and radiographic data. Patients with islet cell neoplasms are excluded.
  • Initial diagnosis of recurrent and metastatic disease must have occurred ≤6 weeks prior to randomization in the study.
  • Patient has one or more lesions measurable by CT scan or MRI (if patient is allergic to CT contrast media).
  • Male or non-pregnant and non-lactating female, and ≥ 20 years of age.
  • Patient must meet the following blood counts at Baseline (obtained ≤14 days prior to randomization):
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10^9/L
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3 (100 × 10^9/L)
  • Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL.
  • Patient has the following blood chemistry levels at Baseline (obtained ≤14 days prior to randomization):
  • AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal range (ULN), unless liver metastases are clearly present, then ≤ 5 × ULN is allowed.
  • Total bilirubin ≤ULN
  • Patient has a Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥ 70. Two observers will be required to assess KPS. If discrepant, the one with the lowest assessment will be considered true.
  • Patient has voluntarily agreed to participate in the study, and signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to participation in any study-related activities.

Who cannot join

  • History of malignancy in the last 5 years. Patients with prior history of in situ cancer or basal or squamous cell skin cancer are eligible. Patients with other malignancies are eligible if they were cured by surgery alone or surgery plus radiotherapy and have been continuously disease-free for at least 5 years.
  • Patients have uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections
  • Patient has known historical or active infection with HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C.
  • Patients have a history of allergy or hypersensitivity to any of Paclitaxel, Gemcitabine, or Cremophor EL.
  • Patients with high cardiovascular risk, including recent coronary stenting or myocardial infarction in the past 6 months.
  • History of Peripheral Artery Disease (e.g,. claudication, Leo Buerger's disease).

What participants receive

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

  • Genexol-PMDrug

    Also called Cremorphor EL-free paclitaxel

    125 mg/m2 given intravenously over 60 minutes for 3 weeks (days 1, 8 and 15) with 1 week rest. Patients will continue until they experience disease progression or significant toxicity.

  • GemcitabineDrug

    1000 mg/m2 given intravenously for 3 weeks (days 1, 8 and 15) with 1 week rest. Patients will continue until they experience disease progression or significant toxicity.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Genexol-PM + GemcitabineExperimentalGenexol-PM125 mg/m2 will be administered in combination with gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 weekly for 3 weeks followed by one week of rest. Each cycle is 28 days.
Receives: Drug: Genexol-PM; Drug: Gemcitabine

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by RECIST.

    ORR will be summarized as the percentage of participants who achieved a confirmed complete (CR) or partial response (PR) using RECIST guidelines.

    Response is confirmed at least 4 weeks later.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Time from the date of enrollment until the date of objective disease progression or the date of death.

    PFS will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier methods.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    OS will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier methods.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Disease control rate (DCR)

    DCR is defined as the percentage of patients who have achieved complete response, partial response and stable disease

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Number of participants with adverse events

    A adverse event (AE) is as any AE occurring or worsening on or after the first treatment of any study drug, and within 21 days after the last dose of the last study drug.

    Severity grades according to NCI CTCAE version 4.0.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 21 after the last dose of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Genexol-PM and Gemcitabine in people with Recurrent Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas and Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas, run by Samyang Biopharmaceuticals Corporation at 1 site in South Korea.

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 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2018. 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 South Korea. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by RECIST. (time frame: 8 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 Apr 2018.
