NCT ID NCT02921022

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether adding an experimental drug called PEGPH20 to standard chemotherapy can help shrink advanced pancreatic cancer. PEGPH20 breaks down hyaluronan, a substance that builds up in pancreatic tumors and may help them grow. The trial includes 110 people with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers are also watching for side effects, especially blood clots.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 110 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Start date

Oct 2016

Expected to finish

Oct 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Signed, written Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved Informed Consent Form (ICF). * Histologically confirmed locally advanced unresectable (Stage III) or Stage IV PDAC. * Measurable or evaluable disease on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan per RECIST v1.1. * For patients with locally advanced disease, no previous radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy, or investigational therapy for the treatment of PDAC is permitted. For patients with metastatic disease, prior treatment for non-metastatic disease with 5-FU or gemictabine administered as radiation sensitizer, or as a cytotoxic therapy, in the adjuvant setting is allowed, provided at least 6 months have elapsed since completion of the last dose and no ≥ Grade 2 treatment-related toxicities are present. * Karnofsky Performance Status ≥70%. * Life expectancy ≥3 months. * Age ≥18 years. * A negative serum pregnancy test, if female of reproductive potential. * Screening clinical laboratory values as follows, performed within 14 days prior to day 1: * Total bilirubin ≤1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN). * Aspartate aminotransferase (\[AST\]; serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\]) and alanine aminotransferase (\[ALT\]; serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) ≤2.5 times ULN, (if liver metastases are present, then ≤5 times ULN is allowed). * Serum creatinine ≤2.0 mg/dL or calculated creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min. * Serum albumin ≥3.0 g/dL. * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,500 cells/mm3. * Platelet count ≥100,000 plt/mm3. * Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL * Prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR) within normal limits (±15%) or within therapeutic range if on warfarin. * Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) within normal limits (±15%). * For men and women of reproductive potential, agreement to use an effective contraceptive method from the time of screening and throughout their time on study. Effective contraceptive methods consist of prior sterilization, intra-uterine device, oral or injectable contraceptives, and/or barrier methods. Abstinence alone is not considered an adequate contraceptive measure for the purposes of this study. Exclusion Criteria: * Known central nervous system involvement or brain metastases. * New York Heart Association Class III or IV cardiac disease or myocardial infarction within the past 12 months. * Known, clinically significant carotid artery disease. * Known, increased risk of bleeding. * Patients with TE event occurring \> 6months prior to enrollment and receiving active anticoagulation. * Patients with any prior history of arterial thrombosis or symptomatic pulmonary embolism. * Patients with current use of megestrol acetate (use with 10 days of Day 1) will be excluded. * Active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infection requiring systemic therapy. * Known active infection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. * Known allergy to hyaluronidase. * Patients with prosthetic heart valves * Women currently pregnant or breastfeeding. * Intolerance of dexamethasone. * History of another primary cancer within the last 3 years with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer or curatively-treated cervical carcinoma in-situ. * History of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or cerebrovascular accident (CVA). * Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding or clinical laboratory finding that leads to reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, that may affect the interpretation of the results, or that may render the subject at high risk for treatment complications. * Other unspecified reasons that, in the opinion of the Investigator, make the subject unsuitable for the study. * Inability to comply with study and follow-up procedures as judged by the Investigator.
