NEW THERAPEUTIC INDICATION OF DECITABINE FOR THE TREATMENT OF ADVANCED, THERAPY-RESISTANT PANCREAS TUMORS WITH A SPECIFIC MOLECULAR PROFILE

A proof-of-concept, biomarker-driven, phase-II clinical trial to explore the activity of decitabine repurposing against advanced, refractory, KRAS-dependent pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC): The ORIENTATE (tailOred dRug repurposIng of dEcitabine in KRAS-dependeNt refracTory pAncreaTic cancEr) trial. - ORIENTATE

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the trial is to provide proof-of-concept of DEC antitumor activity in dKRAS metastatic PDAC.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives of the trial are to assess the feasibility of a molecularly tailored approach in advanced, pre-treated PDAC, as well as to assess treatment safety and tolerability, clinical benefit, impact on quality of life, and survival outcomes.;Primary end point(s): Best Overall Response Rate (BOR) according to RECIST1.1.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: BOR is not a time-dependent endpoint and it is calculated based on the best overall response, whenever it occurs during the trial.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Disease-control rate (DCR); Toxicity rate according to NCI-CTC v5.0; Progression-Free Survival (PFS)/Overall Survival (OS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: DCR is not a time-dependent endpoint and it is calculated based on the best overall response (BOR), whenever it occurs during the trial.; After each cycle; At the end of study
