Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm C (sEphB4-HSA, cisplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15 (beginning course 2), cisplatin IV over 120 minutes and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm B (sEphB4-HSA, docetaxel)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15 (beginning course 2) and docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group III: Arm A (sEphB4-HSA, nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine hydrochloride)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 (beginning course 2), paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
