简要总结
RATIONALE: Pioglitazone may slow the growth of tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well pioglitazone works as second-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer that progressed after treatment with gemcitabine.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To describe changes in markers of insulin resistance, including serum adiponectin levels, standard glucose tolerance testing, and fasting serum glucose and insulin levels, in patients with previously treated metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas treated with pioglitazone hydrochloride as second-line therapy.
- To describe changes in weight in these patients.
- To describe changes in ECOG performance status in these patients.
- To describe changes in symptoms and quality of life of these patients using the validated FACT-Hep scale version 4 questionnaire.
Secondary
- To determine the tumor response as measured by RECIST criteria in these patients.
- To determine the time to disease progression in these patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Changes in weight as measured at baseline, every 4 weeks during therapy, at the completion of therapy, and then monthly for 6 months and every 3 months for 2 years
Fasting serum glucose and insulin levels as measured at baseline, every 4 weeks during therapy, and then at the completion of therapy
Changes in ECOG performance status as measured at baseline, weekly during the first course of therapy, every 4 weeks during the rest of therapy, at the completion of therapy, and then monthly for 6 months and every 3 months for 2 years
Changes in symptoms and quality of life as measured by the validated FACT-Hep scale version 4 questionnaire at baseline, every 4 weeks during therapy, and then at the completion of therapy
Insulin resistance markers as measured by standard glucose tolerance testing and serum adiponectin levels at baseline, every 4 weeks during therapy, and then at the completion of therapy
次要结局
- Objective response (confirmed complete or partial response) as measured by RECIST criteria
- Time to disease progression
