简要总结

  • The combination of gemcitabine and HDIVC is safe and may favorably change the clinical course for an individual patient.
  • The combination of gemcitabine and HDIVC is synergistic in anti-tumor effect as seen in preclinical models, where HDIVC creates a pro-oxidative effect that adds to the anti-tumor effect of gemcitabine.
  • The combination of gemcitabine and HDIVC may improve Progression Free Survival (PFS).
  • The dosage schema of 1.2 g /kg bolus infusion followed by lower dose of 0.3 g / kg infusion may create sustained elevation in Vitamin C plasma levels for increased cytotoxic effect.
  • The addition of HDIVC & oral supplementation of Vitamin C to standard treatment with gemcitabine may improve quality of life for patients with comparison to prior to treatment start of this protocol.
  • CA 19-9 and inflammatory markers may show trends for patients in this trial.

  • May have had any prior chemotherapy regimen including any gemcitabine based regimen or FOLFIRINOX
  • May have participated in a prior study protocol
  • May have had prior treatment with HDIVC
  • Anticipated survival of at least 3 months
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status = 0,1, or 2
  • The patient must have screening laboratory: ANC ≥ 1,500/mm3, Hemoglobin > 8g/dL, Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3, Total Bilirubin < 1.5mg/dL, Creatinine ≤ 1.5mg/dL, Transaminases < 2.5 x upper limit of normal, Urine Uric Acid < 1.000 mg/d, Urine pH < 6, Urine microscopic negative for oxalates (if positive, reflex urinary oxalates < 60mg/d), PT INR ≤ 1.5, unless patient is on full dose warfarin

  • Documentation or report of history of kidney stones or urinary oxalosis.
  • Co-morbid condition that would affect survival: congestive heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction within 6 weeks of study, uncontrolled blood sugars of > 300 mg / dl, patients with known chronic active hepatitis or cirrhosis
  • Currently active second malignancy
  • Chronic hemodialysis

结局指标

主要结局

Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

时间窗: Weekly for up to 6 months.

Adverse events, whether volunteered by the study subject, discovered by the investigators during questioning, or detected by physical examination, laboratory tests, or other means will be collected and recorded at each visit. Events will be recorded from the time the consent is signed until 4 weeks after the study protocol is discontinued. Subjects experiencing Grade 4 neutropenia, Grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia, or Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy who do not recover will have treatment protocol discontinued.

次要结局

  • Anti-Tumor Response(Every 2 months for up to 6 months.)
