Trial Information

An Open-Label, Non-Randomized Phase II Study of Alvocidib (Flavopiridol) in Combination With Docetaxel in Refractory, Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer (NCI #6366)


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the response rate in patients with refractory, metastatic pancreatic cancer
treated with weekly, sequential docetaxel and flavopiridol.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the time to progression and overall survival of patients treated with this
regimen.

II. Assess the toxicity of this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, open-label, prospective study.

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 30 minutes followed 4-6 hours later by flavopiridol IV
over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study.

dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥ 20mm with conventional techniques or
as ≥ 10 mm with spiral CT scan

- Documented progression with measurable metastatic disease including any 1 of the
following criteria:

bevacizumab] or epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR] tyrosine kinase inhibitor
[e.g., erlotinib hydrochloride]) and recovered

- At least 4 weeks since prior radiation therapy

- No prior docetaxel or flavopiridol

- No other concurrent chemotherapy or investigational agents

- No other concurrent anticancer agents or therapies

- No concurrent commonly used vitamins, antioxidants, orherbal preparations or
