About this study

Official title: Anlotinib Plus Benmelstobart and AG Versus AG in First-line Treatment of Advanced Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer: a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial (ALTER-PA-001)

This study is designed to explore the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with benmelstobart and AG (nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine) as first-line treatment compared with AG (nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine) in metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial. We plan to recruit 104 subjects and randomly assign them in a 2:1 ratio to either the experimental group receiving Anlotinib plus Benmelstobart plus Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel, or the control group receiving Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel as initial treatment. Each cycle of the aforementioned drugs will last three weeks, with tumor efficacy assessments conducted at the end of cycles 2, 4, 6, and 8. After 8 cycles of treatment, patients in the experimental group who achieve complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) will continue with maintenance therapy using Anlotinib plus Benmelstobart plus Gemcitabine. Similarly, after 8 cycles of treatment, patients in the control group who achieve CR, PR, or SD will continue with maintenance therapy using Gemcitabine monotherapy. Efficacy will be evaluated every 3 cycles (9 weeks) during the maintenance phase until disease progression or intolerability. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of Anlotinib and Benmelstobart with Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel in treating metastatic pancreatic cancer, providing a new treatment option for first-line therapy in patients with advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  3. Duration of Response (DoR)

    Duration of response according to RECIST v1.1 (Response was assessed with CT or MRI using RECIST v1.1, Duration of response (DoR): DoR will only be performed in subjects who have a confirmed tumor response (CR or PR) after treatment

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from enrollment to death from any cause.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  5. Safety and tolerability by incidence, severity and outcome of adverse events

    Safety and tolerance will be evaluated by incidence, severity and outcomes of adverse events (AEs) and categorized by severity in accordance with the NCI CTC AE Version 5.0

    Measured: Until 30 day safety follow-up visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing anlotinib + benmelstobart + nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine in people with Pancreatic Cancer and First-line, run by RenJi Hospital 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 15 inclusion and 27 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2024. 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 Liwei Wang, M.D. (021-58752345, lwwang2013@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: Up to 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.

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 1 Oct 2024.
