Trial Outcomes & Findings for Randomized Phase II Trial of Pre-Operative Gemcitabine and Nab Paclitacel With or With Out Hydroxychloroquine (NCT NCT01978184)

NCT ID: NCT01978184

Last Updated: 2019-03-27

Results Overview

The number of patients who exhibited an Evans grade Histologic response (I, IIA, IIB, or III) to pre-operative gemcitabine / nab-paclitaxel. Histological response validated scoring system by Evans is as follows: Grade I: 1-9% tumor destruction, Grade II: 10 - 90%, Grade III: \>90% tumor destruction (Grade IIA = 10-50% of tumor cells destroyed; Grade IIB = 50-90% of tumor cells destroyed), Grade IV: Absence of viable tumor cells.

Gemcitabine + Abraxane
Gemcitabine and Abraxane administered as an intravenous infusion on Study Days 3, 10, 17, 31, 38, and 45. Day 3 dosing: 1 hour infusion - 1000 mg/m\^2 of gemcitabine followed by a 125 mg/m\^2 of abraxane. Prior to each gemcitabine infusion, subjects were pre-medicated with an FDA-approved anti-emetic (anti-nausea medication) in an effort to prevent nausea, at the discretion of the study physician.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline - At the time of diagnosis, prior to treatment

Population: Patients who went to surgery and were evaluable for Evans Grade Histopathologic Response.

The number of participants in cancer diagnosis stage groups. Stage 0: cancer hasn't spread to nearby tissues/located in the same of origin.Stage I: cancers hasn't grown deeply into nearby tissues or spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. Stage II and III: cancers have grown more deeply into nearby tissues (may have metastasized to lymph nodes but not other parts of the body). Stage IV: most advanced stage (metastatic cancer) ; cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Stages subdivided further into the categories "A" (less agressive disease) and "B" (more advanced cancer). Example: stage IIA is less aggressive than stage IIB, but stage IIIA is more aggressive than stage IIB. (Stage variable used in the proportional odds logistic regression, secondary analysis of Evans Grade).

The Charlson Comorbidity Index is a method of categorizing comorbidities of patients based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) diagnosis codes found in administrative data, such as hospital abstracts data. Each comorbidity category has an associated weight (from 1 to 6), based on the adjusted risk of mortality or resource use, and the sum of all the weights results in a single comorbidity score for a patient. A score of zero indicates that no comorbidities were found. The higher the score, the more likely the predicted outcome will result in mortality or higher resource use. Up to 12 comorbidities with various weightings can result in a maximum score of 24. The minimum score is zero.

Gemcitabine + Abraxane
n=30 Participants
Gemcitabine and Abraxane administered as an intravenous infusion on Study Days 3, 10, 17, 31, 38, and 45. Day 3 dosing: 1 hour infusion - 1000 mg/m\^2 of gemcitabine followed by a 125 mg/m\^2 of abraxane. Prior to each gemcitabine infusion, subjects were pre-medicated with an FDA-approved anti-emetic (anti-nausea medication) in an effort to prevent nausea, at the discretion of the study physician.
Gemcitabine + Abraxane and Hydroxychloroquine
