Trial Outcomes & Findings for Gemcitabine, Bevacizumab and Erlotinib in Pancreatic Cancer (NCT NCT00366457)

NCT ID: NCT00366457

Last Updated: 2017-05-15

Results Overview

Time to tumor progression (TTP) = time from date of initial treatment to first objective documentation of progressive disease or death; patients who die without a reported prior progression will be considered to have progressed on the day of their death. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: all patients will be followed for a minimum of 4 months

Population: participants who started treatment

Time to tumor progression (TTP) = time from date of initial treatment to first objective documentation of progressive disease or death; patients who die without a reported prior progression will be considered to have progressed on the day of their death. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

Interval 2.6 to 5.6

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: after at least one 28-day cycle of treatment

Population: participants with response data available

Response rate using RECIST criteria and latest time point available. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
