Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 1. To evaluate the safety of two doses of Z-360 with gemcitabine administration for subjects with unresectable advanced pancreatic cancer in order to determine the optimal dosage for Phase II study. 2. To determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of Z-360 in subjects with pancreatic cancer. ; Secondary Objective: 1. To evaluate the drug-drug interaction between Z-360 and gemcitabine. 2. To evaluate the efficacy of Z-360 by the objective tumour response rate. 3. To evaluate the effect of Z-360 on subject quality of life as measured by a quality of life questionnaire. ;Primary end point(s): Completion of the 12-week treatment and 4-week follow up period. | — |
