Brief summary

This study is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active placebo-controlled trial of AMG 479 or placebo in combination with gemcitabine as first-line therapy for locally advanced unresectable adenocarinoma of the pancreas. Approximately 150 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to AMG 479 and gemcitabine, or gemcitabine and placebo. Randomization will be stratified by ECOG (0 or 1). Gemcitabine will be given on days 1, 8, and 15, followed by AMG 479 on days 1 and 15 of every 28 day cycle. Treatment will continue until radiographic disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or start of a new anti-cancer therapy.

Disease progression per RECIST is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions in reference to the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm; the appearance of any new lesions is also considered progression.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

The Safety Population was used for all summaries (including serious and non-serious adverse events). Only 8/10 subjects received at least 1 dose of protocol-specified treatment and therefore were included in the Safety Population.

Outcome results

Primary

The Primary Endpoint is Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Defined as the Time From Randomization to Progression (Per RECIST v1.1) or Death.

The time from randomization to progression (per RECIST version 1.1) or death from any cause. Disease progression per RECIST is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions in reference to the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm; the appearance of any new lesions is also considered progression.

Time frame: From randomization to the date of either disease progression or death, up to 181 days progression or death
