Brief Title: Trametinib and Hydroxychloroquine in Treating Patients With Pancreatic Cancer
Official Title: THREAD: A Phase I Trial of Trametinib and Hydroxychloroquine in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Study ID: NCT03825289
Brief Summary: This phase I trial studies the sides effects and best dose of hydroxychloroquine when given together with trametinib in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissue, lymph nodes or other places in the body and cannot be removed by surgery. Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as hydroxychloroquine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving trametinib together with hydroxychloroquine may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the recommended phase II dose of hydroxychloroquine in combination with trametinib as assessed by the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs).
