Study Type Interventional
Study Design Allocation: Randomized;   Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment;   Masking: None (Open Label);   Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
Interventions Drug: Albumin-bound paclitaxel (ABI-007)
Drug: Gemcitabine
Enrollment 861
Recruitment Details Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio and the randomization was stratified by geographic region (Australia versus Eastern Europe versus Western Europe versus North America), Karnofsky performance status (70 to 80 versus 90 to 100), and by the presence of liver metastases (yes versus no)
Pre-assignment Details 38 participants were randomized but not treated due to the participants request to withdraw after the randomization results became known. 1 participant was randomized to Gemcitabine and was treated with Albumin-bound paclitaxel ABI-007/Gemcitabine in error and analyzed as treated and included in the intent to treat population (ITT)

Measure Description: The Karnofsky Performance Status Scale (KPS) was designed to measure the level of participant activity and medical care requirements. A general measure of participant independence and has been widely used as a general assessment of participants with cancer. The Karnofsky score runs from 100 to 0, where 100 is "perfect" health and 0 is death. The primary purpose of its development was to allow physicians to evaluate a participant's ability to survive chemotherapy for cancer. Two participants from the Albumin bound paclitaxel arm and one from the Gemcitabine arm did not have KPS performed.

Measure Description: Target lesions are those measurable at baseline and are generally the largest lesions, most reliably measured and most representative of the participants sites of disease. Non target lesions are all of the sites of disease present at baseline not classified as target lesions. They include bone and cystic lesions and pleural/pericardial effusion/ascites. The Independent Radiology Reviewers (IRR) only evaluated scans for those with baseline and follow-up scans.
1.Primary Outcome

2.Secondary Outcome
Title Progression-free Survival (PFS) by Independent Radiological Review (IRR)
Hide Description Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression, or death (any cause) on or prior to the clinical cutoff date, whichever occurred earlier. Participants who did not have disease progression or had not died were censored at the date of the last tumor assessment, on or prior to the clinical cutoff, and the patient was progression free. If a patient began a new anti-cancer treatment prior to documented disease progression (or death), the patient was censored at the date of last assessment when the patient was documented as progression free prior to the intervention. Patients with two or more consecutive missing response assessments prior to a visit with documented progression (or death) were censored at the last date of tumor assessment when the patient was documented to be progression free. PFS was summarized using Kaplan-Meier methods.
Time Frame Randomization until disease progression or death from any cause; Until the data cut off of 17 Sept 2012. The maximum time in follow up was 37 months.

3.Secondary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants Who Achieved an Objective Confirmed Overall Response by Independent Radiological Review (IRR)
Hide Description Objective tumor response was summarized as the percentage of participants who achieved a confirmed complete (CR) or partial response (PR) based on an independent blinded radiology assessment of response using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines. Using RECIST Version 1.0, participants were to achieve either a complete response (CR) defined as the disappearance of all known disease and no new sites or disease related symptoms confirmed at least 4 weeks after initial documentation or partial response (PR) defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions and no progression in non-target lesions based on confirmed responses from the investigator assessment of best overall response during study treatment.
