Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

erlotinib, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel

Arm Description

Patients receive the following treatment in 28-day cycles: 1) erlotinib: orally once daily from days 1 through 28 continuous dosing; 2) gemcitabine (following nab-paclitaxel): intravenously over 30 minutes on days 1, 8 and 15 every 28 days; and 3) nab-paclitaxel: intravenously over 30 minutes on days 1, 8 and 15 every 28 days.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Maximum Tolerated Dose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Safety of drug combination assessed through dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Safety of drug combination assessed through Adverse Events (AEs)
Evaluate erlotinib Pharmacokinetic (PK) trough concentrations (C24h)
Objective Response Rate
Response will be based on the RECIST v1.1 criteria. Patients with partial and complete response will be classified as "responders".
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS will be calculated as the time from start of treatment until disease progression or death; patients who are still alive and free of progression at their last follow-up will be censored at that time.
Overall Survival
Survival will be calculated as the time from start of treatment until death of any cause, patients who are still alive at their last follow-up will be censored at that time.
