The Efficacy and Safety of K-001 in the Treatment of Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Brief Summary
No Standard therapy has been approved for third-line therapy of advanced pancreatic cancer. K001 is peptidoglycan prepared from the marine microorganism, with an anti-tumor activity. Previously, the phase I study of K001 has shown that K001 was safety and had some effectiveness for pancreatic patients. Now, we would like to lunch a randomized, blinded, parallel-controlled, multi-center phase II/III study to compare the best support care (BSC) plus K-001 versus BSC plus placebo for the third-line and later treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
overall survival
The overall survival (OS) of the two groups of FAS was compared. FAS including all the subjects who take at least one dose of the research drug. All the subjects received tumor assessment every 8weeks according to RECIST1.1.

Study Arms (2)
Best Support Care Plus K-001
EXPERIMENTALBest support care including analgesic treatment, anti-infection therapy, biliary obstruction treatment, nutritional support, psychological support, reasonable advice from physicians, good communication with patients and etc. K-001 9,720mg per day which means that take K-001 capsule 18 tablets (270mg per tablet) orally twice a day (morning and evening), 56 days as a cycle.
Best Support Care Plus placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORBest support care is the same as experimental arm. Placebo is take 18 placebo tablets which is the same as K-001 in appearance orally twice a day (morning and evening), 56 days as a cycle.
Interventions
K-001 is an antitumor active substance (peptidoglycan) which is prepared from the fermentation product of marine microorganism. K-001 is the Chinese first class new drug and get patent licensing in China, America and Japan.
Placebo which looks the same as K-001 in apparence
Eligibility Criteria
