About this trial

The study is designed to assess whether glufosfamide provides additional survival benefit as compared to bolus 5-FU in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have already progressed or failed therapy on a gemcitabine based first line regimen.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma proven either by histology (surgical biopsy) or cytology (CT- or endoscopic-guided)

Metastatic pancreatic cancer

Disease progression during or after treatment with gemcitabine (alone or in combination with other agents; at regular, not radiosensitizing, doses)

Disqualifiers

More than one prior systemic therapy regimen for metastatic pancreatic cancer (radiosensitizing doses of 5-FU or gemcitabine at the time of initial radiotherapy do not count as a prior systemic therapy regimen)

Hormonal therapy, radiation therapy, biologic therapy, chemotherapy or other systemic antitumor therapy for pancreatic cancer within 14 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (patients with type 2 diabetes controlled with oral glucose lowering agents and the occasional use of insulin are permitted in the study)

Symptomatic brain metastases (baseline CT scan is not required in asymptomatic patients)
