Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate efficacy, as measured by overall survival (OS), of gemcitabine in combination with TH-302 compared to gemcitabine in combination with placebo in subjects with previously untreated locally advanced unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.;Secondary Objective: To assess efficacy with resepct to: ? progression free survival (PFS), and ? objective response (OR) and disease control. To assess patient reported outcomes (PROs) with respect to quality of life (QoL) measured with EORTC QLQ-C30 (Version 3) and EQ-5D-5L, and pain measured by a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). To investigate levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), To assess the safety and tolerability of gemcitabine in combination with TH-302 compared with gemcitabine in combination with placebo.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is Overall Survival (OS) time.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: OS will be evaluated when 508 events (deaths) of randomized patients are reported.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Progression-freee Survival (PFS) Time. - Best Overall Respose Rate according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. - Disease control Rate according to Response Evaluation Criteria in solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. - Quality of Life (QOL) EuroQuol-5D (EG-5D) Health Outcome questionnaire. - Pain intensitiy using a visual analogue scale (VAS). - Serum CA 19-9 response rate. - Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Eents (NCI CTCAE v.4.03).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary endpoints will be evaluated at the same timepoint as OS data is mature.
