Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This was designed as a single-center, single group clinical trial, and subjects include patients with pathologically-confirmed Gemcitabine refractory advanced pancreatic cancer.

If subjects agree to participate in the clinical trial by signing a written consent, only appropriate subjects, who meet the criteria on the examinations and tests, will undergo this clinical trial. To participate in the clinical trial, subject's blood of more than 60 ml should be withdrawn to make a study drug at least 2 weeks before administration. Subjects should visit to hospital according to the protocol and receive a study drug. Therapeutic response rate, overall survival rate, time to progression and the quality of life should be investigated.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease Control Rate
Time Frame: Every 2 months from the baseline, up to 16 weeks

Disease control rate is defined as the number of patients with a best overall response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1). Complete Response: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions. SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD), taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.

Disease control rate = CR or PR or SD patients / ITT population *100
Every 2 months from the baseline, up to 16 weeks
Stable Disease(SD)
Time Frame: Every 2 months from the baseline, up to 16 weeks
Of the 16 patients in the ITT population, stable disease(SD) was confirmed. Disease control rate was calculated based on the number of CR or PR or SD patients in the ITT population.
Every 2 months from the baseline, up to 16 weeks
Progressive Disease(PD)
Time Frame: Every 2 months from the baseline, up to 16 weeks
Of the 16 patients in the ITT population, progressive disease (PD) was confirmed. Disease control rate was calculated based on the number of CR or PR or SD patients in the ITT population.
Every 2 months from the baseline, up to 16 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Every visit, up to 16 weeks
OS was calculated from the date of enrollment until death from any cause. And OS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Every visit, up to 16 weeks
Time to Progression
Time Frame: Every 2 months from the baseline, up to 16 weeks
Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm. Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
Every 2 months from the baseline, up to 16 weeks
Quality of Life (QoL) Assessed Using the Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30)
Time Frame: Every one month from the baseline, up to 16 weeks
QLQ-C30 constitutes a functional scale(physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning), symptom scores scale(fatigue, nausea/vomiting, pain, dyspnea, constipation, diarrhea, insomnia, appetite loss, financial difficulties), and global QoL scale. With the scores of all scales ranging from 0 to 100, a higher score indicates a better functional scale and a better global QoL scale as well as a worse symptom scores scale.
Every one month from the baseline, up to 16 weeks
Quality of Life (QoL) Assessed Using Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30(QLQ-C30) in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer(QLQ-PAN26 Questionnaire)
Time Frame: Every one month from the baseline, up to 16 weeks
QLQ-PAN26 consists of questions (Qs) relating to disease symptoms, treatment (Tx) side effects and emotional issues specific to pancreatic cancer (PC). Questions include on altered bowel habits, pain, dietary changes, disease and Tx-related symptoms and issues related to the emotional and social well-being of participants with PC. All Qs are answered on 4-point Likert scale ranging from '1=not at all' to 4='very much' and subsequently transformed into scales that range from 0-100; higher scores= greater degree of symptoms or treatment side effects and emotional issues.
Every one month from the baseline, up to 16 weeks

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
