Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase Ib study includes two phases: dose escalation phase and safety expansion phase.

During the dose escalation phase, successive cohorts of eligible patients (minimum 3 and maximum 6 evaluable patients per cohort) will receive increasing oral doses of LDE225 administered on a continuous once daily (QD) dose in combination of gemcitabine. This phase of the study will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/ or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of LDE225 administered in combination with gemcitabine in locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients.

During the safety expansion phase, once the MTD of LDE225 is established, additional patients will be enrolled and treated at the MTD of LDE225 in combination with gemcitabine in order to further evaluate its safety, tolerability and explore the potential efficacy of the combined treatments on the patients in locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

LDE225+gemcitabine

Increasing doses of LDE225 (from 400 mg) once a day + 1000 mg/m2 of gemcitabine on days 1, 8 and 15 of every 28 day cycle.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

LDE225+gemcitabine

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive increasing doses of LDE225 (from 400 mg), depending on the cohort they are assigned to, orally once daily and standard doses of gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) on days 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle. Patients will receive the study treatment until they progressed, experience unacceptable toxicity, withdraw from the study, or the investigator decides it is in their best interest to discontinue the study treatment.
