Alternate Title

Bevacizumab With or Without Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Previously Treated Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Basic Trial Information

Phase	Type	Status	Age	Sponsor	Protocol IDs
Phase II	Treatment	Completed	18 and over	NCI	FCCC-03003 NCT00066677

Objectives

1. Determine the progression-free survival of patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with bevacizumab with or without docetaxel.
2. Determine the objective response rate and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
3. Determine the incidence of thromboembolic events in patients treated with these regimens.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

• Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the pancreas
  • Metastatic disease
• Unidimensionally measurable disease outside of the pancreas
  • At least 1 lesion at least 20 mm by conventional techniques OR at least 10 mm by spiral CT scan
• Must have received 1, and only 1, prior gemcitabine-containing regimen for metastatic disease unless disease has recurred within 6 months after treatment with neoadjuvant or adjuvant gemcitabine-containing therapy
• No brain metastases

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Biologic therapy

• No concurrent prophylactic granulocyte or platelet growth factors

Chemotherapy

• See Disease Characteristics
• More than 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy

Endocrine therapy

• Not specified

Radiotherapy

• At least 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy

Surgery

• More than 7 days since prior fine needle aspirations or core biopsies
• More than 28 days since prior surgery (except closed biopsy or access port placement)
• More than 28 days since prior open biopsy

• Fertile patients must use effective contraception
• No history or evidence of CNS disease (e.g, primary brain tumor or seizures not controlled with standard medical therapy)
• No other medical condition that would preclude study participation
• No psychiatric condition that would preclude study participation
• No other prior or concurrent malignancy that would preclude study participation

Expected Enrollment

A total of 46 patients (23 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

Outcomes

Progression-free survival

Objective response rate
Overall survival
Incidence of thromboembolic events

Outline

This is a randomized, open-label study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

• Arm I: Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15 and docetaxel IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15.
• Arm II: Patients receive bevacizumab as in arm I.

In both arms, courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
