Summary
Study start date: December 1, 2003
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the overall survival at 6 months in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with CCI-779. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine time to progression, progression-free survival, overall survival, and tumor response rate in patients with measurable disease treated with this drug. II. Correlate biomarkers of response with clinical response in patients treated with this drug. III. Determine the safety and toxicity of this drug in these patients. OUTLINE: This is an open-label study. Patients receive CCI-779 IV over 30 minutes once weekly. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study within 13 months.
