Evaluating Nimotuzumab in Combination With AG Regimen for Pancreatic Cancer With Liver Metastases : A Prospective, Single-Arm, Phase II Study

May 5, 2024 updated by: Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital

Evaluating Nimotuzumab in Combination With AG Regimen for Pancreatic Cancer With Liver Metastases (PCLM): A Prospective, Single-Arm, Phase II Study

Patients with PCLM account for the majority of our department's pancreatic cancer cases and often have limited surgical options due to the aggressive nature of their tumors. For those with good performance status (ECOG PS 0-1), NCCN recommends gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (AG). Though nimotuzumab combined with gemcitabine improves survival, there remains scarce clinical data regarding its efficacy in conjunction with AG for treating PCLM. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of incorporating nimotuzumab with AG for PCLM.

Conditions

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers
