A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Simtuzumab Combined With Gemcitabine for Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT01472198

Purpose

This study will compare the efficacy of simtuzumab (GS-6624) versus placebo in combination with gemcitabine in adults with pancreatic cancer. The treatment phase of this study will be comprised of 2 sequential parts: an open label treatment phase and a double-blinded treatment phase.

   years prior to enrollment

   - Prior or concurrent anti-tumor therapy (chemotherapy, antibody therapy, molecular
   targeted therapy, retinoid therapy, hormonal therapy) for the treatment of inoperable
   locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer; prior radiotherapy and chemotherapy
   given as pre-operative neoadjuvant therapy or radio sensitizers for locally advanced
   pancreatic cancer are allowed.

   - Uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial or viral infection
