About this study

Official title: A Single-center, Prospective, Two Cohort Study of Surufatinib Combined With Gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel or Gemcitabine Combined With Nab-paclitaxel in the First-line Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

This is a single-center, prospective, two cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surufatinib in combination with AG or AG alone in the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Participants with previously received AG chemotherapy for 2 cycles with no disease progression will be enrolled:

Read more

Arm 1: Surufatinib plus AG chemotherapy (q3w) until disease progression/death/withdrawn; Arm 2: AG chemotherapy (q3w) until disease progression/death/withdrawn;

During the treatment period, imaging methods were used to evaluate the tumor status every 6 weeks (±7 days) until disease progression (RECIST 1.1) or death (during the patient's treatment) or toxicity was intolerable or other criteria for termination of study treatment specified in the protocol were met, and the tumor treatment and survival status after disease progression were recorded. Safety observation indicators include: AEs, changes in laboratory values, vital signs, and changes in electrocardiogram.

Being tested
Surufatinib, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, Nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine

Gemcitabine: 1000mg/m2, intravenous infusion greater than 30min, d1, 8, every 3 weeks for a treatment cycle. Surufatinib: 250mg, qd, po, every 3 weeks for a treatment cycle. Surufatinib and gemcitabine was continued until disease progression (PD, RECIST 1.1) or death (while the patient was on treatment) or toxicity became intolerant or other criteria for discontinuation of study therapy were met in the protocol. Allow adjustment of dosage according to protocol requirements, including suspension, lowering of dosage or permanent discontinuation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival

    Measured: Defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Objective Response Rate

    Measured: The proportion of patients whose tumors have decreased by a certain degree and remained so for a specified duration, including cases of complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). Tumor objective response is assessed using RECIST v1.1

  2. Overall survival

    Measured: Overall survival (OS) refers to the duration from the date of enrollment to the date of death due to any cause.

  3. Disease control rate

    Measured: Defined as the proportion of evaluable patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) as confirmed cases. At baseline, subjects must have measurable tumor lesions; responses are evaluated according to RECIST v1.1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Surufatinib, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel and Nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine in people with Pancreatic Cancer Metastatic, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 17 inclusion and 25 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2025. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jin Xu (180 1731 7267, xujin@fudanpci.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (time frame: Defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.). 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 30 Jul 2025.
