What is the study measuring?

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: 4 weeks (1 cycle)
Presence or absence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) related to BLEX 404 Oral Liquid for each patient during first cycle of Gemcitabine monotherapy to determine the recommended dose level (RDL).

Time Frame: 12 weeks (3 cycle)
Overall response rate (PR + CR) after 4 cycles of combination use in BLEX 404 + Gemcitabine monotherapy.
