Study With Gemcitabine and RTA 402 for Patients With Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer

February 1, 2024 updated by: Reata, a wholly owned subsidiary of Biogen

A Randomized Phase I/II Study With Gemcitabine and RTA 402 or Gemcitabine and Placebo for Patients With Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer

This study assesses the safety and efficacy of RTA 402 in combination with gemcitabine in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Phase I will be conducted to determine the MTD of RTA 402 (administered orally Days 1-21 or Days 1-28 of a 28-day cycle) in combination with gemcitabine (1000 m/m2). Gemcitabine will be administered as an intravenous infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle.

The phase II portion of the study will be randomized, and double-blinded. Phase II will utilize the RTA 402 MTD determined in Phase I; Arm 1 will consist of gemcitabine + RTA 402. RTA 402 capsules will administered orally Days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle (or Days 1-28 if appropriate, based on phase I results); gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) will be administered as an intravenous infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle in each Arm. Arm 2 will consist of gemcitabine + placebo, placebo capsules will be taken orally Days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle (or Days 1-28 if appropriate, based on phase I results). Both treatment arms are 4-weeks in length.

The study was conceived with both a Phase I and Phase II portion as described above; however, only the Phase I portion was completed. The trial was terminated in 2009 before the Phase II portion could begin.

Study Sponsor, originally Reata Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is now Reata Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Biogen.
