Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug to see what dose is safe and how well it works with other existing cancer drugs.

Who is the study for?
Adults with measurable metastatic pancreatic cancer who haven't had Stage IV treatment can join. They must be able to take oral meds, have certain blood and organ function levels, and not have severe medical conditions or heart issues. Pregnant women, those on specific drugs, or with GI absorption problems are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the highest dose of LCL161 that patients can tolerate when given with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel for metastatic pancreatic cancer. It aims to find out what side effects occur at this maximum dose.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system's response to the drug combination, potential impact on blood counts and liver function tests due to chemotherapy agents like gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the regulatory status of LCL161?

"Our evaluation team at Power assessed the safety of LCL161 as a 1 because it is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials, where limited data exists concerning its efficacy and safety."

Answered by AI

How many participants have so far joined this research project?

"This study is no longer recruiting participants. It was initially uploaded in March 2014 and the last update occurred on November 2015. For those searching for alternative trials, there are currently 587 clinical studies accommodating people with pancreatic metastatic cancer and 1114 open investigations involving LCL161."

Answered by AI

What medical disorders is LCL161 typically administered to alleviate?

"LCL161 is a useful medication for managing neoplasm metastasis, and it can also be employed to treat locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer, troublesome bladder cancer, as well as urinary tract issues."

Answered by AI

Are there any historical precedents for using LCL161 in medical studies?

"Presently, 1114 clinical trials are in progress for LCL161. Out of these studies, 321 reside in Phase 3. Even though the majority of research is conducted within Shanghai, there are 59453 other sites running tests with this medication."

Answered by AI

Is there currently an opportunity to participate in this research study?

"According to the data posted on clinicaltrials.gov, this clinical trial is not presently enrolling patients. Initially published in March of 2014 and most recently updated in November 2015, it appears other opportunities exist with 1,701 trials actively recruiting participants as an alternative."
