Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Trial of Gemcitabine, Infusional 5-Fluorouracil and Cisplatin for Advanced Pancreatic and Biliary Cancers (NCT NCT01661114)

NCT ID: NCT01661114

Last Updated: 2016-10-19

Results Overview

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to estimate the response rate to treatment with the triplet chemotherapy regimen of gemcitabine, infusional 5-FU, and cisplatin, in untreated and previously treated advanced pancreatic and biliary cancer patients. Partial Response (PR) is defined as At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
