Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vismodegib and Gemcitabine Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (NCT NCT01195415)

NCT ID: NCT01195415

Last Updated: 2017-08-07

Results Overview

The median percentage of CD44+CD24+ESA+ cells from needle biopsy were calculated at baseline and at 3 weeks using FACS. The difference between the two time points was calculated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 weeks

Population: Of the 25 patients enrolled, only 22 were evaluable for the primary endpoint.

The median percentage of CD44+CD24+ESA+ cells from needle biopsy were calculated at baseline and at 3 weeks using FACS. The difference between the two time points was calculated.

Median Percent at Baseline and 3 Weeks in CD44+/ CD24+/ ESA+ Cells From Needle Biopsy Calculated Using FACS
Baseline Median % of CD44+/CD24+/ESA+ CSCs
4.79 percentage of CD44+/ CD24+/ ESA+ cells
Interval 0.43 to 37.2
Median Percent at Baseline and 3 Weeks in CD44+/ CD24+/ ESA+ Cells From Needle Biopsy Calculated Using FACS
3 Weeks Post Tx Median % of CD44+/CD24+/ESA+ CSCs
3.09 percentage of CD44+/ CD24+/ ESA+ cells
Interval 0.74 to 45.9

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 4 weeks

Population: All treated patients were evaluable.

The number of participants with either a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) will be calculated. A CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. A PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions.

5 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 24 months

Median progression free survival was calculated for all treated patients. Assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. The 95% confidence interval for this estimate will be computed using the Greenwood's formula.
