Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: UNKNOWN
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2/PHASE3
• Total Enrollment: 600 participants

Brief Summary

No Standard therapy has been approved for third-line therapy of advanced pancreatic cancer. K001 is peptidoglycan prepared from the marine microorganism, with an anti-tumor activity. Previously, the phase I study of K001 has shown that K001 was safety and had some effectiveness for pancreatic patients. Now, we would like to lunch a randomized, blinded, parallel-controlled, multi-center phase II/III study to compare the best support care (BSC) plus K-001 versus BSC plus placebo for the third-line and later treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Conditions

Pancreatic Cancer

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: QUADRUPLE

Study Groups

Best Support Care Plus K-001

Best support care including analgesic treatment, anti-infection therapy, biliary obstruction treatment, nutritional support, psychological support, reasonable advice from physicians, good communication with patients and etc. K-001 9,720mg per day which means that take K-001 capsule 18 tablets (270mg per tablet) orally twice a day (morning and evening), 56 days as a cycle.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

K-001

Intervention Type: DRUG

K-001 is an antitumor active substance (peptidoglycan) which is prepared from the fermentation product of marine microorganism. K-001 is the Chinese first class new drug and get patent licensing in China, America and Japan.

Best Support Care Plus placebo

Best support care is the same as experimental arm. Placebo is take 18 placebo tablets which is the same as K-001 in appearance orally twice a day (morning and evening), 56 days as a cycle.

Group Type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Intervention Type: OTHER

Placebo which looks the same as K-001 in apparence
