Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of R115777 in treating patients who have metastatic pancreatic cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the safety and effectiveness of R115777 in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

II. Determine the response rate, time to progression, and 6 month survival rate of these patients with this treatment regimen.

III. Assess the pharmacokinetics of this treatment regimen in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral R115777 twice daily for 21 consecutive days. Treatment continues every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year.
