Trial Outcomes & Findings for CC-4047 With Gemcitabine for Untreated Advanced Carcinoma of the Pancreas (NCT NCT00540579)

NCT ID: NCT00540579

Last Updated: 2013-03-13

Results Overview

Unacceptable side effects or dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were defined as follows: * Inability to Complete cycle 1 of therapy due to drug-related toxicity. * \> Grade 3 non-hematological drug-related toxicity (excluding alopecia) despite optimal supportive care * Febrile neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count \[ANC\] \<1,000/μL and fever \>101° F (38.5° C)) * Grade 4 neutropenia that occurs prior to day 21. (Grade 4 neutropenia that occurs after day 21 but resolves within 7 days of the scheduled cycle 2, will not be considered DLT) * Platelet count \< 25,000/μL * Inability to initiate Cycle 2, Day 1 therapy within 7 days of scheduled start (i.e. cannot delay the start of Cycle 2 by more than 7 days following the normal 7 day recovery period) due to drug-related toxicity.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Two patients withdrew consent and were unevaluable for DLT. One patient suffered subdural hematoma (non-treatment related) and was unevaluable for DLT.

Unacceptable side effects or dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were defined as follows: * Inability to Complete cycle 1 of therapy due to drug-related toxicity. * \> Grade 3 non-hematological drug-related toxicity (excluding alopecia) despite optimal supportive care * Febrile neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count \[ANC\] \<1,000/μL and fever \>101° F (38.5° C)) * Grade 4 neutropenia that occurs prior to day 21. (Grade 4 neutropenia that occurs after day 21 but resolves within 7 days of the scheduled cycle 2, will not be considered DLT) * Platelet count \< 25,000/μL * Inability to initiate Cycle 2, Day 1 therapy within 7 days of scheduled start (i.e. cannot delay the start of Cycle 2 by more than 7 days following the normal 7 day recovery period) due to drug-related toxicity.
