Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Dose Escalation Safety Study of Locally-Delivered Gemcitabine in Pancreatic Cancer (NCT NCT02237157)

NCT ID: NCT02237157

Last Updated: 2021-05-07

Results Overview

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of gemcitabine administered intra-arterially to the pancreatic tumor(s) using the RenovoCath™ RC120 catheter. One week post treatment, toxicities will be assessed to determine if there is a pre-defined Dose Limiting Toxicity necessitating dose stopping or holding.
