Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical activity of gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, capecitabine, cisplatin, and irinotecan (GAX-CI) in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was a two-part, single-institution, open-label, dose-escalation, phase 1/2 study to evaluate the clinical activity of gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, capecitabine, cisplatin, and irinotecan in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Part 1 of the study was a Phase 1 3 + 3 dose escalation study designed to evaluate the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and safety of increasing doses of nab-paclitaxel in combination with gemcitabine, capecitabine, cisplatin, and irinotecan. There were two cohorts of dose escalations. The two cohorts differed based on the treatment cycle length (28 days for Cohort 1 and 21 days for Cohort 2). Dose escalation started with Cohort 1. Enrollment for Cohort 2 dose level 1 began once dose level 2 of Cohort 1 was shown to be safe and did not exceed MTD.

Part 2 was a Phase 2 expansion cohort study for the evaluation of efficacy once the MTD had been determined.
