Experimental

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

Best Support Care Plus K-001

Best Support Care Plus placebo

Arm Description

Best 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 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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

PFS
All the subjects received tumor assessment every 8weeks according to RECIST1.1 to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) .
TTP
All the subjects received tumor assessment every 8weeks according to RECIST1.1 to evaluate the time to progression (TTP).
ORR
All the subjects received tumor assessment every 8weeks according to RECIST1.1 to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR).
DCR
All the subjects received tumor assessment every 8weeks according to RECIST1.1 to evaluate the disease control rate (DCR).
CBR
According to a questionaire to evaluate the clinical benefit response (CBR) of the two groups.

5. Study Description

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.
