What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR), as Determined by Investigator According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
OR was defined as a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) on two consecutive occasions ≥ 4 weeks apart during Stage 1 as determined by the investigator using RECIST v.1.1. Objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants with OR. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) have a reduction in short axis to <10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. 95% confidence intervals (CI) for rates were constructed using Clopper-Pearson method. Percentages have been rounded off.
Measured: Up to 33.3 months
Secondary outcomes (6)
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory values or abnormal clinical test results), symptoms, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product.
Measured: Up to 33.3 months
Stage 1: Progression-Free Survival (PFS), as Determined by Investigator According to RECIST v1.1
PFS was defined as the time from study treatment initiation to the first occurrence of documented PD, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum in the study, including baseline, in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) method was used to estimate PFS.
Measured: Up to 33.3 months
Stage 1: Overall Survival (OS), as Determined by Investigator According to RECIST v1.1
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. K-M method was used to estimate OS.
Measured: Up to 33.3 months
Stage 1: OS Rate at Month 6
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. OS rate at 6 months was defined as the percentage of participants who did not experience death from any cause at 6 months from randomization. K-M method was used to estimate OS. Percentages have been rounded off.
Measured: Month 6
Stage 1: Duration of Response (DOR), as Determined by Investigator According to RECIST v1.1
DOR was defined as time from first occurrence of a documented OR until the time of documented PD or death from any cause, whichever occurs first as determined by investigator assessment using RECIST v1.1. DOR was calculated for participants who had a best confirmed OR of CR/PR. CR=the disappearance of all target lesions or any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) having a reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR=at least a 30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. PD=at least a 20% increase in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on the study including baseline (nadir). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. K-M method was used to estimate DOR.
Measured: Up to 33.3 months
Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Disease Control (DC), as Determined by Investigator According to RECIST v1.1
DC was defined as stable disease (SD) for ≥ 12 weeks or a CR or PR, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 Disease control rate (DCR) was defined as the percentage of participants with DC. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) have a reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. Percentages have been rounded off.
Measured: Up to 33.3 months

Primary outcome
Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR), as Determined by Investigator According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
Time frame: Up to 33.3 months
OR was defined as a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) on two consecutive occasions ≥ 4 weeks apart during Stage 1 as determined by the investigator using RECIST v.1.1. Objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants with OR. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) have a reduction in short axis to <10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. 95% confidence intervals (CI) for rates were constructed using Clopper-Pearson method. Percentages have been rounded off.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Nab-Paclitaxel, Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin in people with Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 23 sites in 5 countries.
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 10 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 21 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 23 sites in United States, Spain, Japan, South Korea, Germany. 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 combined 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.
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Nov 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR), as Determined by Investigator According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) (time frame: Up to 33.3 months). 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 NCT03193190, which also lists 2 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 21 Nov 2025.
