E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Pancreatic cancer is the eighth most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, associated with a 5-year survival rate of 5-6%. A vast majority of patients present with incurable advanced disease. Untreated metastatic disease is associated with a median survival time of 3 to 5 months and locally advanced disease with 6-10 months.
Gemcitabine is currently regarded as the standard therapy for locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Phase I:
•Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of BAY 86-9766 to be investigated in combination with the standard gemcitabine regimen in the subsequent Phase II part of this study
Phase II
•Determine the efficacy of the combination BAY 86-9766 / gemcitabine in terms of the overall response rate (confirmed complete response + partial response) according to RECIST Version 1.1
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Phase I:
•Investigate the safety and tolerability and efficacy of up to three dose levels of BAY 86-9766 in combination with the standard gemcitabine regimen
•Assess pharmacokinetics (PK) of gemcitabine and BAY 86-9766; if needed, PK assessments may also be performed in a limited number of patients in the Phase II part of this study.
Phase II:
•Response duration (DOR)
•Disease control rate (DCR)
•Time to progression (TTP)
•Progression-free survival (PFS)
•Overall survival (OS)
•Asses safety and tolerability profile of the combination drug therapy
•Determine patient reported outcome (pain evaluation)
•Assess biomarkers

• Prior systemic therapy for metastatic or locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancer, or other malignant conditions including cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted agents, or any experimental therapy
