Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a single-arm, phase 1b study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of erlotinib (daily), gemcitabine (weekly), nab-paclitaxel (weekly) in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Study Type

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Time Frame
Maximum Tolerated Dose
Time Frame: Monthly (to a maximum of 12 months)
Monthly (to a maximum of 12 months)

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
Safety of drug combination assessed through dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Time Frame: 1 month
1 month
Safety of drug combination assessed through Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Monthly (to a maximum of 12 months)
Monthly (to a maximum of 12 months)
Evaluate erlotinib Pharmacokinetic (PK) trough concentrations (C24h)
Time Frame: Days 29 (Cycle 2, Day 1) and 30
Days 29 (Cycle 2, Day 1) and 30
Objective Response Rate
Time Frame: Monthly (to a maximum of 12 months)
Response will be based on the RECIST v1.1 criteria. Patients with partial and complete response will be classified as "responders".
Monthly (to a maximum of 12 months)
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Monthly (to a maximum of 12 months)
PFS will be calculated as the time from start of treatment until disease progression or death; patients who are still alive and free of progression at their last follow-up will be censored at that time.
Monthly (to a maximum of 12 months)
Overall Survival
Time Frame: Monthly (to a maximum of 12 months)
Survival will be calculated as the time from start of treatment until death of any cause, patients who are still alive at their last follow-up will be censored at that time.
