Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: For inclusion in the study patients must fulfil all of the following criteria: 1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed pancreatic cancer 2. Patients who have failed first line gemcitabine therapy (patients who have received radiotherapy in addition to gemcitabine therapy can be included in the study) 3. WHO performance status (PS) 0-2 and life expectancy > 12 weeks. 4. Suitable for treatment with capecitabine (refer to Appendix D). 5. Aged at least 18 years. 6. Provide written informed consent to participate in the study. Note: Patients in whom endoscopic procedures to improve bile drainage while under study are planned, can be included into the study as long as they meet all other inclusion/exclusion criteria at the time of enrollment (including LFT’s). Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Any of the following is regarded as a criterion for exclusion from the study: 1. Previous therapy with EGFR inhibitor, MEK inhibitor or capecitabine. 2. Any recent surgery, unhealed surgical incision or severe concomitant condition (eg uncontrolled cardiac disease) which, in the Investigator’s opinion, makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the study or which would jeopardize compliance with the study protocol. 3. Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal diseases (eg, inflammatory bowel disease), or significant bowel resection that, in the investigator’s judgement, would preclude adequate absorption. 4. Current or prior malignancy within previous 3 years (other than pancreatic cancer or adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in-situ carcinoma of the cervix). 5. Brain metastases or spinal cord compression unless treated and stable off steroids for one month. 6. Any unresolved toxicity >CTC grade 2 from previous anticancer therapy. 7. Planned palliative radiotherapy. Less than 2 weeks since completion of prior radiotherapy or persistence of any acute radiotherapy toxicity. 8. Corrected baseline mean QT measurement (QTc) > 450ms. 9. Patients with factors that increase risk of QTc prolongation or arrhythmic events such as heart failure, hypokalaemia, family history of long QT syndrome or any concomitant medication known to prolong QTc. 10. Any of the following laboratory values: (a) Total bilirubin = 1.5 x ULN (b) ALT or AST = 2.5 x ULN irrespective of whether liver metastases are present 11. Any of the following laboratory values: (a) Platelets < 100 x109/l (100,000/mm3) (b) Haemoglobin < 10g/dl despite transfusion (c) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1.5 x109/l (1,500/mm3) 12. Calculated serum creatinine clearance = 50 ml/min (using Cockcroft-Gault formula) and/or an elevated serum creatinine = 1.25 x ULN. 13. Presence of clinically significant blood or protein on repeat urine labstix test. 14. History of hypersensitivity to active or inactive excipients of any study medication (AZD6244, capecitabine, Captisol®). 15. Pregnancy or breast feeding or women of child bearing potential not using an effective method of birth control. 16. Previous enrolment and randomisation to treatment in the present study. 17. Involvement in the planning and conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff or staff at the study site).

| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of AZD6244 versus capecitabine in the treatment of advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer by assessment of time to death (TTD).;Primary end point(s): The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of AZD6244 versus capecitabine in the treatment of advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer by assessment of time to death (TTD).;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the study are: - To assess efficacy of AZD6244 versus capecitabine in the treatment of advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer by assessment of disease progression. - To assess the safety and tolerability of AZD6244 in the treatment of advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer by review of adverse events and laboratory parameters. | — |
