A Phase II Trial of TPI 287 in Patients Advanced, Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer

Stopped early · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Pancreatic Cancer

In brief

The primary objective of the study is to assess the activity of TPI 287 as single agent therapy for patients with advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancer after failure of gemcitabine-containing therapy. Activity of TPI 287 will be determined by the 6-month survival rate.
