Cancer Stem Cells and Inhibition of Hedgehog Pathway Signaling in Advanced Pancreas Cancer: A Pilot Study of GDC-0449 in Combination With Gemcitabine
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Gemcitabine Hydrochloride, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, and 1 other intervention for Recurrent Pancreatic Carcinoma and Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies vismodegib and gemcitabine hydrochloride in treating patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Vismodegib may stop the growth of pancreatic cancer by blocking blow flow to the tumor. Gemcitabine hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vismodegib and gemcitabine hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells.
