Masitinib Plus Gemcitabine in Pancreatic Cancer

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03766295
Lead Sponsor
AB Science
Brief Summary

The objective is to compare efficacy and safety of masitinib in combination with gemcitabine to placebo in combination with gemcitabine, in treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer and who have pain related to the disease.

Detailed Description

Masitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is thought to promote survival via modulation of immunostimulation-mediated anticancer effects and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of masitinib in combination with gemcitabine with respect to placebo in combination with gemcitabine for the treatment of non resectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer patients with pain related to the disease. Approximately 330 patients with pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) \> 20 and/or treated with 'opioid analgesics' dose ≥ 1 mg/kg/day at baseline will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the masitinib and placebo arms, respectively. The primary outcome measure is overall survival (OS).

Placebo & gemcitabinePlaceboParticipants receive matching placebo, given orally twice daily, plus gemcitabine at 1000mg/m2 by intravenous infusion during 30 minutes, once every 7 days, for up to 7 weeks, followed by a week of rest. Subsequent cycles should consist of an IV infusion, once every 7 days, for 3 consecutive weeks out of every 4 weeks, until disease progression, death, limiting toxicity or patient consent withdrawal.
Masitinib & gemcitabineMasitinibParticipants receive masitinib (6 mg/kg/day), given orally twice daily, plus gemcitabine at 1000mg/m2 by intravenous infusion during 30 minutes, once every 7 days, for up to 7 weeks, followed by a week of rest. Subsequent cycles should consist of an IV infusion, once every 7 days, for 3 consecutive weeks out of every 4 weeks, until disease progression, death, limiting toxicity or patient consent withdrawal.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (median)From day of randomization to death, assessed for a maximum of 60 months

Overall survival is defined as time in months from the randomization date to the date of death due to any cause. If a patient is not known to have died, then OS will be censored at the date of last known date patient alive.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Survival ratesevery 24 weeks

The proportion of patients alive at each time point, estimated with Kaplan-Meier distribution

Progression Free SurvivalFrom day of randomization to disease progression or death, assessed for a maximum of 60 months

Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the randomization date until the date of earliest evidence of disease progression or death, for participants who progressed or died before subsequent cancer therapy. Disease progression will be assessed by the investigator on CT scan according to RECIST 1.1 criteria
