Official Title: Phase II Trial Of Perifosine In Locally Advanced, Unresectable Or Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
Study ID: NCT00059982
Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Perifosine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of perifosine in treating patients who have locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: * Determine the activity of perifosine, in terms of objective response, in patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer. * Determine the response duration, progression-free survival, and overall survival of patients treated with this drug. * Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive oral perifosine every 6 hours for a total of 6 doses and then once daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months for 3 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 35-84 patients will be accrued for this study within 21 months.
