Combination Therapy With NC-6004 and Gemcitabine Versus Gemcitabine Alone in Pancreatic Cancer

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Pancreatic Neoplasms
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02043288
Lead Sponsor
Orient Europharma Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the impact of the addition of NC-6004 to gemcitabine in the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer in Asian countries.

Detailed Description

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly cancers because of the predominately late diagnosis. Gemcitabine (GEM) is the standard treatment for advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer. According to preclinical data and few early phase studies, a combined use of gemcitabine and cisplatin (CDDP) showed synergistic efficacy against pancreatic cancer. NC-6004, a novel micellar cisplatin formulation, retains the activity but avoids the renal toxicity and neurotoxicity caused by the high peak Cmax concentrations of cisplatin. This trial is designed to evaluate the impact of the addition of NC-6004 to gemcitabine in the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

The main hypothesis of this study is that NC-6004 plus gemcitabine combination is superior to gemcitabine alone in terms of overall survival in locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer patients

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survival (OS)3.5 years

Overall survival is defined as the time from the treatment initiation until death from any cause, and censored at the last follow up time.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of life (QoL) using EORTC QLQ-C303.5 years

Quality of life (QoL) values and changes from baseline will be summarized.

CA19-93.5 years

CA19-9 values and changes from baseline will be summarized.

Duration of response3.5 years

* Duration of overall response (DOR) will be measured from the time of initial response (CR or PR) until documented progression or death, and censored at last follow up time.

* Duration of stable disease (DSD) will be measured from the time of initial stable disease (SD) until documented progression or death, and censored at last follow up time.

Response rate (RR) and disease control rate (DCR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria3.5 years

* Response rate is defined as counts and proportions of patients responding complete response or partial response within the duration of the study.

* Disease control rate is defined as counts and proportions of patients responding complete response, partial response or progressive disease within the duration of the study.

Progression free survival (PFS)3.5 years

Progression free survival is defined as the time from the treatment initiation until progression or death, and censored at the last follow up time.
