Trial Information

Phase II Trial Of Perifosine In Locally Advanced, Unresectable Or Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the activity of perifosine, in terms of objective response, in patients with
locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

- Determine the response duration, progression-free survival, and overall survival of
patients treated with this drug.

- Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral perifosine every 6 hours for a total of 6 doses and then once daily in
the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 35-84 patients will be accrued for this study within 21
months.
