Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Gemcitabine and Erlotinib Plus Sorafenib (GES) in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer (NCT NCT00696696)

NCT ID: NCT00696696

Last Updated: 2016-06-30

Results Overview

The PFS rate at 4 months is defined as the percentage of patients whose disease is progression free at 4 months from the start of treatment. Disease progression is evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (Therasse et al, 2000). Radiological measurements to determine progression is performed every 2 cycles.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 months

Population: Based on the number of patients treated.

The PFS rate at 4 months is defined as the percentage of patients whose disease is progression free at 4 months from the start of treatment. Disease progression is evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (Therasse et al, 2000). Radiological measurements to determine progression is performed every 2 cycles.

4-month Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate
49 percentage of patients

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 1 year

Population: Based on the number of patients evaluable for response. The evaluable patients were those patients who received any treatment and had first response assessment followed by at least one confirmatory scan.

The response rate is the percentage of the patients who have a complete response or partial response based on RECIST from the start of the treatment. The response is evaluated every 2 cycles by radiologic methods (e.g., computer tomography (CT)).
