What is being tested

  • Drug GLP1-RA (semaglutide)

What it is measuring

Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events [Safety] attributed to GLP1-RA and/or its interaction with chemotherapy

This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.

Early phase 1. The earliest human testing. The question is how the drug behaves in the body, not yet whether it helps.

How the researchers describe it

There is a growing number of patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancers who are also simultaneously being treated with GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (RA)s. To date, no clinical trial data exists to establish safety and/or feasibility with use of GLP-1 RAs during chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and correlative analyses of combining GLP-1 RAs with standard chemotherapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic, colorectal, or hepatocellular cancers in the first-line setting.

Who the trial is looking for

Inclusion Criteria

  • Histological or cytological diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma or colorectal adenocarcinoma. Previous tumor tissue testing is acceptable. Please refer to the "additional HCC cohort criteria" below.
  • The subject has disease that is not amenable to curative-intent management (e.g., oligometastatic disease)
  • Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 as determined by the investigator
  • Patients must be appropriate candidates for first-line, SOC treatment.
  • SOC treatment as defined by NCCN® guidelines or institutional standard is allowable, however, options restricted to:
  • Colorectal: FOLFOX or FOLIFIRI +/- bevacizumab
  • Pancreatic: mFOLFIRINOX
  • HCC: Tremelimumab/Durvalumab
  • Patients are eligible who received prior perioperative chemotherapy for curative intent treatment and recurred ≥ 6 months since last dose of chemotherapy.
  • ≥ 18 years old on day of consent
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
  • Adequate archival frozen or fixed tissue available from primary or metastatic site for genotypic analysis (at least 15 unstained slides and/or tumor block)
  • Adequate hematologic and organ function laboratory values as follows:
  • The ANC ≥ 1500/mm3 without colony stimulating factor support;
  • Platelets ≥ 75,000/mm3;
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL;
  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 ´ the ULN.

Where it is running

Running at 1 site. Listed in: United States.

Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.

Worth asking your oncology team

Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.

  • Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
  • Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
  • What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
  • What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?

The source

Registry record NCT07627191, registered by University of Arizona on ClinicalTrials.gov, a public database run by the US National Library of Medicine. The details on this page come from that record and are only ever as current as the sponsor has kept it.

This is a listing of a registered clinical trial, reproduced for information. It is not a recommendation, this site has no connection to the trial or its sponsor, and being listed here says nothing about whether the treatment works. Talk to your own oncology team before pursuing any trial.

This article summarises published research for general information. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for a conversation with your own oncology team, who know your case. Do not start, stop, or change any treatment or supplement on the basis of what you read here.
