Study Summary

Hydroxychloroquine is approved for the treatment of non-cancerous illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematous. Researchers in the laboratory have tested tumors from patients with pancreatic cancer and have discovered that they have certain pathways inside the cells that promote growth and survival of the tumor. Hydroxychloroquine may inactivate these pathways and results in the death of pancreatic cancer cells.

Primary Outcome

2-month progression-free survival rate was defined as the percentage of patients absent progression (PD) or death before 2 months. Patients were considered to have experienced PD if they demonstrated either clinical deterioration resulting in withdrawal or PD per RECIST 1.0 criteria: At least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PD for the eva
