E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Confirmation that longer Time-To-Treatment-Failure (TTF) during first-line treatment is predictive for the benefit of 2nd- line treatment with Nal-IRI combination chemotherapy. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives of this study are: • to generate additional efficacy and safety data for the 2nd-line treatment • to assess the Quality of Life and Patient Reported Outcomes during 2nd-line treatment • to asses the impact of the course of the 1st-line treatment on the outcome of the 2nd-line therapy • to explore the impact of physiological and molecular markers on the efficacy of the 2nd-line • to validate a prognostic second-line score accord. to Sinn et al., 2016 |

Screening with CNS imaging (CT or MRI) is required only if clinically indicated or if the subject has a history of CNS metastases g) Allogeneic transplantation requiring immunosuppressive therapy or other major immunosuppressive therapy h) Severe non-healing wounds, ulcers or bone fractions i) Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy j) Major surgical procedures, except open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to star of study treatment, or anticipation of the need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study except for surgery of central intravenous line placement for chemotherapy administration. k) Known Gilbert-Meulengracht syndrome l) Known chronic hypoacusis, tinnitus or vertigo m) Bone marrow depression (e.g., after radiation therapy) n) Pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias secondary to vitamin B12 deficiency o) Severe impairment of hepatic function p) Diarrhea Drug related criteria: 2. Medication that is known to interfere with any of the agents applied in the trial. 3. Known dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency with acitivity score of 0.5 or less 4. History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of the constituents of the products. 5. Any other efficacious cancer treatment except protocol specified treatment at study start. Safety criteria: 6. Female subjects who are pregnant, breast-feeding or male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not employing an effective method of birth control (failure rate of less than 1% per year). [Acceptable methods of contraception are: implants, injectable contraceptives, combined oral contraceptives, intrauterine pessars (only hormonal devices), sexual abstinence or vasectomy of the partner]. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine or serum β-HCG acc. to SOC) at Screening. Methodological criteria: 7. Any experimental pretreatment for advanced disease 8. Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 30 days before inclusion or 7 half-lifes of previously used trial medication, whichever is longer, with the following exception: Any clinical study with the IMPs Nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine and under the condition that the potential study subject was only exposed to Nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine doublet chemotherapy during the course of the previous study is exempt. The previous Nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine treatment must be consistent with current treatment approaches for first-line therapy with regard to dosing and scheduling. The following non-comprehensive list of clinical trials may serve as a guidance: ALPACA (EudraCT number: 2014-004086-24); GrantPax (EudraCT Number: 2015-002890-40), NEONAX (EudraCT number: 2013-005559-34), NEOLAP (EudraCT number: 2013-004796-12). 9. Previous enrollment in the present study (does not include screening failure). Regulatory and ethical criteria: 10. Patient who might be dependent on the sponsor, site or the investigator 11.
