Further study details as provided by Pfizer:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Overall survival is the primary endpoint. A total of 596 patients and 460 events are required for a log rank test to have an overall 1 sided significance level of 0.025 and power of 0.90. [ Time Frame: 23 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Safety and tolerability of AG-013736 plus gemcitabine. All patients who receive any study treatment will be included in the final summaries and listings of safety data. [ Time Frame: 23 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Health-related quality of life, pain ratings, and health status of patients in each arm as measured by the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ C30) and Pancreatic 26 (PAN26), [ Time Frame: 23 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
BPI sf, and EQ 5D. Questionnaires will be completed prior to dosing and ideally before any clinical assessments. [ Time Frame: 23 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Population pharmacokinetic analysis using AG-013736 plasma concentrations. [ Time Frame: 23 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Progression free survival (the time from randomization to first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first). [ Time Frame: 23 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Objective response rate (the proportion of patients with confirmed response according to RECIST, relative to all randomized patients who have baseline measurable disease). [ Time Frame: 23 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Duration of response (the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first). [ Time Frame: 23 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	596
Study Start Date:	August 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date:	August 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	August 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
A: Experimental	Drug: AG-013736 oral administration, starting dose 5 mg BID every day until unacceptable toxicity or tumor progression. Drug: Gemcitabine intravenous administration at 1,000 mg/m2 day 1, day 8 and day 15 every 4 weeks (conventional dose) until unacceptable toxicity or tumor progression.
B: Active Comparator	Drug: Gemcitabine intravenous administration at 1,000 mg/m2 day 1, day 8 and day 15 every 4 weeks (conventional dose) until unacceptable toxicity or tumor progression. Drug: placebo placebo
