Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: During this study, an ancillary pharmacogenomic study will be performed in order to define predictive criteria of efficacy (all efficacy variables: survival and tumor assessment) from genomic data. ;Primary end point(s): Overall survival (OS). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Analyses will be conducted after all patients will have been followed for 12 months (corresponding to 252 events);Main Objective: The objective is to compare efficacy and safety of masitinib at 9 mg/kg/day in combination with gemcitabine, to placebo in combination with gemcitabine, in treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Tumor assessment: · OS rate every 6 months · Progression Free Survival (PFS). · Time to Progression (TTP) · Objective response rate (CR + PR) and control disease rate (CR + PR + SD) at week 24, 48 and 72 · Best response along study · Level of serum CA 19-9 at week 24, 48 and 72
