  Purpose

This phase II trial is studying how well saracatinib works in treating patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer. Saracatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Proportion of patients alive at 6 months [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    If patients are lost to follow-up prior to the time required for the applicable primary endpoint, we will consider reporting the final point estimate of the primary endpoint via the method of Kaplan and Meier (1958) which accounts for the censoring of such data at the date of last contact (last known alive). Otherwise, ninety percent confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Survival is defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause. The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier (1958). Special attention will be paid to any registered patient who dies early (i.e., within 60 days) of initiating their treatment.

  • Confirmed tumor response (complete [CR] or partial response [PR]) [ Time Frame: Evaluated using the first 6 courses of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    A confirmed tumor response is defined to be a CR or PR noted as the objective status on 2 consecutive evaluations at least 4 weeks apart. Response will be evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1)

  • Duration of response [ Time Frame: From the date first objective status is noted to be either a CR or PR to the date progression is documented, assessed up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time to disease progression [ Time Frame: Time from registration to documentation of disease progression, assessed up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Progression will be evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the revised RECIST guideline (version 1.1).

  • Time to treatment failure [ Time Frame: Time from the date of registration to the date at which the patient is removed from treatment due to progression, toxicity, or refusal, assessed up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Correlation between baseline tumor markers and response [ Time Frame: At baseline to up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Logistic regression modeling will be used to assess the relationship between baseline tumor markers and response

  • Correlation between baseline tumor markers and survival [ Time Frame: At baseline to up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The prognostic capability of these baseline tumor markers will be explored via Cox proportional hazards regression models (Cox, 1972) for overall survival data.

  • Correlation between baseline tumor markers and time-to-progression [ Time Frame: At baseline to up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The prognostic capability of these baseline tumor markers will be explored via Cox proportional hazards regression models (Cox, 1972) for time-to-progression data.

  • Correlation between baseline tumor markers and [ Time Frame: At baseline to up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Logistic regression modeling will be used to assess the relationship between baseline tumor markers and adverse events.

  • Dynamic changes in tumor markers from baseline to post-treatment [ Time Frame: At baseline and 2 weeks post-treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Changes in tumor measurements [ Time Frame: At baseline and after 2 weeks of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    PET/computed tomography (CT) scans will be used to see if changes in the tumor measurements at 2 weeks post-treatment predict survival and response (after 8 weeks) as assessed by RECIST.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the 6-month survival of biomarker-positive patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer receiving AZD0530 (saracatinib).

II. To determine the adverse events of this drug in these patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the response rate in patients treated with this drug. II. To evaluate the overall survival of patients treated with this drug. III. To explore the pharmacodynamic effects of AZD0530 with optional tumor biopsies, pharmacokinetic studies, and positron emission tomography (PET) scans in a subset of patients.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive saracatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years.
