Condition(s) targeted: Pancreatic Cancer; Adenocarcinoma

Intervention: ARQ 501 in combination with gemcitabine (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: No longer recruiting

Sponsored by: ArQule

Summary

The study will document the safety and efficacy of the combination of ARQ 501 and gemcitabine in patients with treatment-naïve, unresectable, metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Phase II Study of ARQ 501 in Combination With Gemcitabine in Adult Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Study design: Interventional, Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Dose Comparison, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Document progression free survival after treatment with ARQ 501 and gemcitabine

Secondary outcome: Document safety and efficacy of ARQ 501 in combination with gemcitabine

Detailed description: This is a single-arm, non-randomized study of ARQ 501 in combination with gemcitabine in adult patients with treatment-naïve, unresectable, metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The study objectives are:

Primary Objective:

- Assess the overall response rate (ORR) of patients treated with ARQ 501 in combination with gemcitabine.

Secondary Objectives:

- Determine time to tumor progression (TTP) of patients treated with ARQ 501 in combination with gemcitabine

- Further characterize the safety of ARQ 501 in combination with gemcitabine

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Have a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of unresectable, metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma

- Be treatment-naïve.

- Have measurable disease per RECIST Criteria.

- Be ≥18 years old.

- Have a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of ≥70%.

- Have an estimated life expectancy of ≥12 weeks.

- Be male or a non-pregnant, non-lactating female patient. Patients who are fertile agree to use an effective barrier method of birth control (e. g., latex condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap) to avoid pregnancy.

- Have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug (if patient is a female of childbearing potential).

- Sign a written informed consent form.

- Have adequate organ function as indicated by acceptable laboratory values obtained within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Have received any prior therapy for the treatment of their pancreatic malignancy (including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, major surgery, or irradiation, whether conventional or investigational).

- Have an active, uncontrolled systemic infection considered opportunistic, life threatening or clinically significant at the time of treatment.

- Are pregnant or lactating.

- Have a psychiatric disorder(s) that would interfere with consent, study participation, or follow-up.

- Have any other severe concurrent disease, which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.

- Have symptomatic or untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases.

- Have a known hypersensitivity to gemcitabine.
