Study Overview

An Open Label Study to Evaluate G17DT Compared to Gemcitabine

In this study 250 µg of G17DT was administered at Weeks 0, 2 and 6 in order to demonstrate non inferiority compared to gemcitabine in prolonging survival in advanced pancreatic cancer.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

    Inclusion Criteria:

  • A diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, confirmed by histology or cytology, in patients not suitable for pancreatic tumor resection with curative intent.
  • A diagnosis of recurrent pancreatic adenocarcinoma (previously confirmed by histology or cytology) in patients who have had a primary tumor resection.
  • Male or female patients over 18 years of age.
  • Laboratory values within the following ranges at screening:

  • Serum creatinine < 1.25 times upper limit of normal (ULN) Haemoglobin > 9.5 g/dL White blood cell (WBC) count > 3.5 x 109/L Platelets > 100 x 109/L Total bilirubin < 2.0 times ULN Aspartate transaminase (AST, SGOT) < 3 times ULN

  • A life expectancy of at least 2 months.
  • A negative pregnancy test at the screening visit (females of childbearing potential only).
  • Signed written informed consent.

  • Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of other malignant disease (except basal cell carcinoma or in situ carcinoma of the uterine cervix).
  • Previous cytotoxic chemotherapy (including gemcitabine).
  • Previous radiotherapy within 30 days of baseline.
