Brief Summary

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

AMP-004 is a Phase 1b dose escalation trial designed to evaluate the safety of the new drug imexon in combination with an approved drug, gemcitabine, for the treatment of patients with previously untreated pancreatic cancer. The treatment consists of dosing with both imexon and gemcitabine on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28 day cycle. The study is designed to determine the highest doses of the two drugs that can be safely combined together.
