Trial Information

Phase II Clinical Trial of Genexol -PM in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the time to progression and time to treatment failure in patients with
unresectable locally advanced or metastatic epithelial carcinoma of the pancreas
treated with paclitaxel loaded polymeric micelle (Genexol^®-PM).

- Determine the best overall response rate and duration of response in patients treated
with this drug.

- Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

- Determine the clinical benefit and safety of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive paclitaxel loaded polymeric micelle (Genexol^®-PM) IV over 3 hours
on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 43 patients will be accrued for this study.
