Trial Outcomes & Findings for Erlotinib and Gemcitabine With or Without Panitumumab in Treating Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer (NCT NCT00550836)

NCT ID: NCT00550836

Last Updated: 2017-04-05

Results Overview

Overall Survival is defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause. The estimate will be done using the Kaplan-Meier method. The primary goal of this trial is to compare the experimental arm (Arm B) to the standard arm (Arm A). The primary analysis will be a comparison of Arm A to Arm B using a one-sided log-rank test between the 2 Kaplan-Meier curves.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 2 years

Population: All patients that started protocol treatment and were evaluated were included in this analysis.

Evaluated using RECIST version 1.0. Confirmed tumor response rate was defined as achieving partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) in two consecutive assessments at least 6 weeks apart. CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. The confirmed response rate is reported as the number of participants with confirmed responses divided by the number of evaluated participants.

Population: All treated patients were included in this analysis.

Progression-free survival is defined as the time from randomization to documentation of disease progression or death, whichever comes first. Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest dimension (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. The distribution of progression-free survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. The progression-free survival curves will be compared between the 2 arms using a log-rank test.

Population: All eligible treated patients were included in this analysis.

Time to treatment failure is defined to be the time from the date of randomization to the date at which the patient is removed from treatment due to progression, adverse events, or refusal. If the patient is considered to be a major treatment violation or is taken off study as a nonprotocol failure, the patient will be censored on the date they are removed from treatment. The time to treatment failure will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

Patients are assessed for Adverse events each cycle using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0). The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and tables will be reviewed to determine adverse event patterns. The number of patients in each arm that reported a grade 3 or higher adverse event and a grade 4 or higher adverse event are reported. A complete listing of all adverse events is reported in the Adverse Events section.
