  Purpose

Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CCI-779, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. This phase II trial is studying how well CCI-779 works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer


Condition Intervention Phase
Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas
Recurrent Pancreatic Cancer
Stage II Pancreatic Cancer
Stage III Pancreatic Cancer
Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer
 Drug: temsirolimus
Other: laboratory biomarker analysis
 Phase 2

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Phase II Trial of CCI-779 in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The method of Thall and Simon will be employed.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Overall response rate defined as the number of patients who achieved CR or PR divided by the number of patients treated [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    95% confidence interval will be presented

  • Duration of response [ Time Frame: From the time of objective response to the time of progressive disease, assessed up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time to progression (TTP) [ Time Frame: From the time of the study entry to the time of relapse or progression, assessed up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Systemic and local adverse events assessed using the established National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, and range) will be displayed for relevant laboratory parameters.

  • Levels of PTEN, AKT, and PI3K [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Expression levels will be correlated with patient survival duration using Cox proportional hazard regression analysis

  • Expression and phosphorylation status of p70s6k [ Time Frame: Up to 7 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Descriptive statistics will be applied to report the mean, duration of the effects on p70s6k phosphorylation.

Detailed Description:

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.
