Aroplatin and Gemcitabine in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer Resistant to Standard Therapies

June 23, 2005 updated by: Aronex Pharmaceuticals

A Phase I/II Study of Aroplatin and Gemcitabine In Subjects With Unresectable, Locally Advanced And/Or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

This study is a Phase I/II study. In Phase I of this study, the objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of combination therapy with Aroplatin and gemcitabine (Gemzar®) in subjects with unresectable, locally advanced and/or metastatic pancreatic cancer. In Phase II, the primary objective is to evaluate survival after therapy with Aroplatin and gemcitabine at the identified MTD in subjects with unresectable, locally advanced and/or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the severity and quantity of adverse events and determine the proportion of non-progressors and the progression-free interval.
