Trial Identification

Brief Title: Ganitumab and Gemcitabine Hydrochloride Followed by Radiation Therapy, Ganitumab, Capecitabine, and Maintenance Therapy in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Cancer of the Pancreas

Official Title: A Phase I Study of Induction AMG 479 and Gemcitabine, Followed by AMG 479, Capecitabine, and 3D-Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT) With Subsequent Maintenance Therapy for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Study ID: NCT01298401

Study Description

Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as ganitumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Specialized radiation therapy, such as 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, that delivers a high-dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of ganitumab when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride followed by radiation therapy, ganitumab, capecitabine, and maintenance therapy in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the pancreas.

Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: Primary * To evaluate the maximum dose of ganitumab, up to a target dose of 20 mg/kg, given concurrently with capecitabine and radiotherapy following induction ganitumab and gemcitabine hydrochloride in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Secondary * To evaluate the safety profile of induction therapy comprising ganitumab and gemcitabine hydrochloride, followed by ganitumab and concurrent chemoradiation, and subsequently by maintenance ganitumab and gemcitabine hydrochloride until disease progression in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. * To evaluate response and overall survival of patients treated at the maximum dose of ganitumab given concurrently with capecitabine and radiotherapy following induction ganitumab and subsequently followed by maintenance ganitumab and gemcitabine hydrochloride until disease progression. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of ganitumab followed by an expanded cohort study. Induction therapy: Patients receive ganitumab IV over 1-2 hours on days 1 and 15 and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses. Concurrent therapy: Beginning 10-28 days later, patients undergo 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week for 5.5 weeks beginning on day 1. Patients also receive concurrent ganitumab IV over 1-2 hours on days 1, 15, and 29 and capecitabine orally (PO) twice daily on days 1-5 weekly for 5.5 weeks. Maintenance therapy: Beginning 21-42 days later, patients receive ganitumab IV over 1-2 hours on days 1 and 15 and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 15, and 22. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, every 4 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter.
