Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) Primary · Assessed at 28 days

A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined by the occurrence of any of the toxicities listed in section 5.1.5 of the protocol that are possibly, probably, or definitely related to study drug(s) within the first cycle (4 weeks = 28 days).

GroupValue95% CI
Arm A (Phase I - Initial Dose Level)2
Arm B (Phase I - Dose Level -2)2

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: Assessed every 4 weeks while on treatment and for 30 days after the end of treatment. Reporting threshold: 5%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.

Sponsor's own description

This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 when given together with paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and gemcitabine hydrochloride and how well they work in treating patients with previously untreated pancreatic cancer that has spread to another place in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and gemcitabine hydrochloride are more effective with or without WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 in treating patients with pancreatic cancer.
