Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin in the Management of Metastatic Pancreatic Cancers With Low Expression of ERCC1

September 23, 2019 updated by: University of Hawaii

Phase II Study of Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin in the Management of Metastatic Pancreatic Cancers With Low Expression of ERCC1 (Excision Repair Cross-complementation Group 1)

The goal of this clinical trial is to improve and personalize pancreatic cancer care to deliver the most effective therapy while avoiding unnecessary exposure to potential side effects. Excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) protein and mRNA expression predicts response to oxaliplatin - patients whose cancers make small amounts of ERCC1 are much more likely to respond to cisplatin than those whose tumors produce large amounts. The hypothesis is that the combination of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin is a uniquely effective regimen for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer whose tumors have a low expression of ERCC1.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma
  • Patients must not have had prior chemotherapy or biologic therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer
  • Prior adjuvant chemotherapy for completely resected disease or chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced disease is allowed but must have been administered > 6 months prior to registration

  • Adequate hematologic, hepatic and renal function

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or nursing women
  • No other prior malignancy is allowed except for the following: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or any other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for 5 years
  • Patients must not have known brain metastases
  • Any other condition that in the opinion of the Investigator may render the patient at excessive risk for treatment complications

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: ERCC1 high expression
Patients with ERCC1 high expression tumors will be treated at discretion of investigator
Experimental: ERCC1 low expression
Patients with ERCC1 low expression will be treated with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin
Excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) protein and mRNA expression predicts response to oxaliplatin - patients whose cancers make small amounts of ERCC1 are much more likely to respond to cisplatin than those whose tumors produce large amounts.
Other Names:
