Randomized Phase II Trial of Panitumumab, Erlotinib and Gemcitabine vs. Erlotinib and Gemcitabine in Patients With Untreated, Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating panitumumab, erlotinib hydrochloride, and 1 other intervention for Pancreatic Cancer. Completed, enrolled 104 participants across 262 sites.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Panitumumab may also stop the growth of pancreatic cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving panitumumab together with gemcitabine and erlotinib works compared to giving gemcitabine and erlotinib alone in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
