Trial Information

A Multicenter Phase II Study of Capecitabine and Docetaxel for Previously Treated Pancreatic Cancer Patients "CapTere"


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the overall (complete and partial) response rate in patients with recurrent
or progressive metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with capecitabine and docetaxel.

Secondary

- Determine the overall and progression-free survival of patients treated with the
chemotherapy combination.

- Determine the duration of response (complete or partial) among patients who attain a
response.

- Determine the frequency of patients having > 50% fall of CA19-9 from an initial level
of > 100 U/mL in association with treatment with this regimen.

- Evaluate the toxicity associated with the administration of the combination in these
patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, open-label, nonrandomized study.

Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14 and docetaxel IV over 1 hour on
days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for up to 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 45 patients will be accrued for this study.

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Non-Randomized, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Number of Participant Achieving Complete Response or Partial Response to Therapy.

Outcome Description:

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

Outcome Time Frame:

1 year
