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

Subjects enrolled to assess safety will receive a combination of Gemcitabine plus RX-0201. Gemcitabine will be administered prior to RX-0201 intravenously in a 30-min iv infusion dose at 1000 mg/m2 once weekly for up to 2 cycles; each 4-week cycle consist of 3-week treatment phase followed by 1 week resting phase. RX-0201 will be administered at 250 mg/m2/day in a 24-hour continuous intravenous infusion for up to 2 cycles; each 3-week cycle consists of 2-week treatment phase followed by a 1 week resting phase. (See schedule of assessments)Subjects enrolled to evaluate efficacy will receive a combination of Gemcitabine and RX-0201 as outline above for up to 4 cycles.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

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

Genders Eligible for Study

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Provide written informed consent prior to the initiation of study procedures.
