Study Overview

GV1001 and Gemcitabine in Sequential Combination to Gemcitabine Monotherapy in Pancreatic Cancer

To investigate the efficacy of GV1001 in sequential combination with gemcitabine in locally advanced and metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

The trial is a Phase III, multinational, multicentre, controlled, randomised open-label trial. It will involve 520 advanced pancreatic cancer patients. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive Gemcitabine alone or GV1001 plus GM-CSF followed by addition of Gemcitabine at the time of 1st progression of disease. The experimental treatment is given prior to the current standard treatment in 50% of the patients.
