Masitinib Plus Gemcitabine in Pancreatic Cancer

Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Double-randomized, Double-blind, 2-parallel Groups, Phase 3 Study to Compare as First Line Therapy Efficacy and Safety of Masitinib in Combination With Gemcitabine, to Gemcitabine in Combination With Placebo, in the Treatment of Patients With Non Resectable Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective is to compare efficacy and safety of masitinib in combination with gemcitabine to placebo in combination with gemcitabine, in treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer and who have pain related to the disease.

Clinical Trial Description

Masitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is thought to promote survival via modulation of immunostimulation-mediated anticancer effects and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of masitinib in combination with gemcitabine with respect to placebo in combination with gemcitabine for the treatment of non resectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer patients with pain related to the disease. Approximately 330 patients with pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) > 20 and/or treated with 'opioid analgesics' dose ≥ 1 mg/kg/day at baseline will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the masitinib and placebo arms, respectively. The primary outcome measure is overall survival (OS). ;
