Capecitabine, Docetaxel and Gemcitabine in Patients With Advanced Pancreas Cancer
The primary purpose of this study is to define the maximum tolerated dose of combination docetaxel, gemcitabine, and capecitabine in patients with pancreatic cancer. Adverse effects will be measured in study participants. In addition, researchers will assess data about preliminary efficacy in patients with this treatment approach.
Rationale: Single agent gemcitabine is considered standard care for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. However, better treatments offering improved outcomes are needed for people with this disease. The combination of docetaxel and capecitabine has shown significant and broad clinical activity in a variety of tumors. Laboratory research on the combination of capecitabine, docetaxel, and gemcitabine indicates synergistic action against tumor cells. The current study will test this combination in patients. The drug administration schedule in this study is aimed at maximizing the potential of activation of capecitabine by both docetaxel and gemcitabine. Treatment: Study participants will be given docetaxel, gemcitabine, and capecitabine. All study drugs will be administered through intravenous infusions in three week cycles. Docetaxel will be given on days 1 and 8, gemcitabine on days 8 and 15, and capecitabine on days 8 through 21. This schedule will be followed by 1 week of rest without administration of study drugs. Since the primary goal of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose of the study drugs in combination, patients who enroll in the beginning of the study will receive lower amounts of the study drugs compared to patients who enroll later in the study. Several tests and exams will be given throughout the study to closely monitor patients.
These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

| Primary Outcome Measures | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) | MTD will be the dose at which 1 or fewer patients (≤ 1/6) experiences a DLT during the first or second cycle with the next higher dose having at least 2/3 or 2/6 patients experiencing Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT). | Weekly up to 24 weeks |
| Secondary Outcome Measures | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Common Toxicities | The NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 was used for adverse event reporting and toxicity grading. | Weekly up to 24 weeks |
| Therapeutic Response | 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; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR. | every 8 weeks, up to 24 weeks |
