  • To determine rates of clinical benefit; duration of clinical benefit.
Read the detailed description

Precision Promise is a multi-center, seamless Phase 2/3 platform trial designed to evaluate multiple regimens in metastatic pancreatic cancer. The goal of the platform is to find effective therapies for pancreatic cancer. The platform will test multiple investigational drugs and combinations compared to standard of care therapy in first and second line metastatic participants. Bayesian response-adaptive randomization will be used to assign participants to arms based on their performance in subtypes of the disease. The primary endpoint is overall survival.

What participants receive

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

  • Gemcitabine combined with nab-paclitaxelDrug

    Arm is closed to recruitment.

    Nab-paclitaxel is infused over 30-40 min on days 1, 8, 15 of each 28-day cycle. Gemcitabine is infused over 30 min, immediately after completion of nab-paclitaxel infusion, on days 1, 8, 15 of each 28-day cycle.

    If one of the chemotherapy medications is held, the other study medications may be given.

    Doses should be re-adjusted if the participant's weight changes by +/- >10%. If the participant's weight changes by <10%, no adjustment is necessary unless the site has a standard procedure to adjust doses based upon current weight according to institutional guidelines.

  • Dose -mFOLFIRINOXDrug

    Arm is closed to recruitment.

    The following are recommended parameters for infusion timing and sequence, although institutional variation in the administration of the regimen are permitted, as long as drug dosing and modification guidelines are followed. Oxaliplatin and leucovorin are administered concurrently over 30-120 minutes, followed by irinotecan over 30-90 minutes, followed by the infusion of 5-flurouracil. If one of the chemotherapy medications is held, the other study medications may be given. Doses should be re-adjusted if the participant's weight changes by +/- >10%. If the participant's weight changes by <10%, no adjustment is necessary unless the site has a standard procedure to adjust doses based upon current weight according to institutional guidelines.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) is defined from the time of initiation of treatment until death due to any cause. Participants still alive at the time of an analysis will be considered censored at their date of last contact.

    Measured: 0 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    PFS will be presented with probability that the hazard ratio is less than 1.0 as well as the corresponding Kaplan-Meier curves and the log-rank test for the comparison with controls.

    Measured: From initiation of therapy to clinically determined disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months.

  2. Performance Status

    Changes in Performance Status will be evaluated using the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status, where the highest value is 0 (patient is fully active) and the lowest value is 5 (patient is deceased).

    Measured: From screening through study completion, an average of 2 years.

  3. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the portion of subjects on an arm with a tumor size reduction of at least 30%.

    Measured: From initiation of treatment to clinically determined tumor size reduction for a minimum of 4 weeks

  4. Duration of Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Duration of ORR is defined as the time from the date of response to the date of clinically determined disease progression or death due to any cause.

    Measured: From date of first occurrence of a documented objective response to date of clinically determined disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months.

  5. Duration of Clinical Benefit

    Duration of Clinical Benefit will be evaluated using a composite of measures including patient reported outcomes (PROs), supportive care regimens, and disease status.

    Measured: From screening through last dose of therapy, assessed up to 24 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Gemcitabine combined with nab-paclitaxel, Dose -mFOLFIRINOX and Dose - Pamrevlumab combined with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in people with Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer and Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, run by Pancreatic Cancer Action Network at 25 sites in United States.

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 30 inclusion and 23 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 6 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in United States. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Overall Survival (time frame: 0 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 NCT04229004, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Apr 2025.
