Study Summary

This phase II trial studies how well telotristat ethyl works in promoting weight stability in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma that has come back and spread to other places in the body. Telotristat ethyl may decrease bowel movements which may make patients gain weight. Stabilizing weight may help patients tolerate chemotherapy better and improve longevity.

Primary Outcome

Weight stability will be documented as percent weight change at 3 months compared to baseline.

Interventions

  • DRUG Gemcitabine
  • DRUG Nab-paclitaxel
  • DRUG Telotristat Ethyl
