NCT ID: NCT00474812

Last Updated: 2015-05-05

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 51 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2007-05-31
• Study Completion Date: 2014-02-28

Brief Summary

Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well dasatinib works in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Determine the overall survival, including median survival, of patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas treated with dasatinib.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the effects of this drug on quantities of circulating tumor cells in these patients.

II. Determine the time to progression in patients treated with this drug. III. Determine pre- and post-drug fat-free mass and gait speed in patients treated with this drug.

IV. Evaluate the toxicity of this drug in these patients. V. Evaluate objective response rate in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study.

Patients receive oral dasatinib twice daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo blood collection at baseline and during days 25-31. Samples are analyzed for quantification of circulating tumor cells. Patients also undergo analysis of fat-free mass and gait speed at baseline and at 1, 2, and 6 months.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

Conditions

Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas; Recurrent Pancreatic Cancer; Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer
