Metformin Plus Modified FOLFOX 6 in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
A Phase II Study of Metformin Plus Modified FOLFOX 6 in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine if metformin (metformin hydrochloride) when added to FOLFOX ( leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin) improves overall survival in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess response rate (RR). II. To assess progression free survival (PFS). III. To assess toxicity in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer receiving FOLFOX and metformin. IV. To identify tumor/serum correlative markers.
OUTLINE: Patients receive metformin hydrochloride orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-7 for an introductory period before the addition of FOLFOX. After the introductory period, patients will continue metformin twice daily and FOLFOX therapy comprising leucovorin calcium intravenously (IV) over 120 minutes, fluorouracil IV continuously over 46 hours, and oxaliplatin IV over 120 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for periodically.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Median Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Time from first day of treatment to death from any cause, assessed up to 1 year
|
Calculated using Kaplan Meier methods and the median will be estimated assuming an exponential distribution.
|
Time from first day of treatment to death from any cause, assessed up to 1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Response Rate (RR) Objective Tumor Response Based on Computed Tomography (CT) Scans or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)
Time Frame: 1 year
|
CBR is the number of participants of the total analysis population who experience confirmed complete (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST CR = all detectable tumor has disappeared PR = a >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum Stable Disease (SD) = small changes that do not meet previously given criteria. Progressive disease (PD) = a >=20% increase in target lesions The true response rate of the combination therapy for this patient population will be estimated based on the number of response using a binomial distribution and its confidence intervals will be estimated using Wilson's method. |

Time Frame: 1 year
|
CBR is the number of participants of the total analysis population who experience a CR, PR, or SD per RECIST CR = all detectable tumor has disappeared PR = a >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum SD = small changes that do not meet previously given criteria. PD = a >=20% increase in target lesions |
