Clinical Trial: Irinotecan and Docetaxel With or Without Cetuximab in Treating Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
This study is currently recruiting patients.
Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining chemotherapy with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining irinotecan and docetaxel with or without cetuximab in treating patients who have metastatic pancreatic cancer .

Official Title: Phase II Randomized Study of Irinotecan and Docetaxel With or Without Cetuximab in Patients With Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas
Further Study Details:
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the efficacy of irinotecan and docetaxel with or without cetuximab, in terms of objective response rate, in patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
- Determine the time to progression and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
- Determine the proportion of patients with tumors that overexpress epidermal growth factor receptor.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1-2 hours on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36. Patients also receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour and irinotecan IV over 30 minutes weekly on days 1, 8, 15, and 22.
- Arm II: Patients receive docetaxel and irinotecan as in arm I. Courses repeat in both arms every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 1 year, and then periodically thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 92 patients (46 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 11 months.
