Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In this open-label, dose rising trial, subjects with mucinous cystic pancreatic neoplasms will receive intracystic NanoPac® via endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle injection (EUS-FNI).

In the dose escalation phase, subjects will be enrolled in sequential cohorts of NanoPac® at 6, 10, and 15 mg/mL at volumes sufficient to fill the cyst, at least equal to the amount of cyst fluid aspirated. Each cohort will have three subjects, with cohorts enrolled sequentially starting at the lowest concentration. Following Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) review of the cohort data, the next cohort may begin enrolling, an additional three at the current dose may be enrolled, or if the first dose does not provide adequate safety and tolerability the study may be halted. The dose determined to be the most suitable for further evaluation, defined as the highest dose with an acceptable safety and tolerability profile (as determined by the DSMB), will be the dose used in the second phase of the study which will enroll 9 additional subjects. Subjects enrolled in the second phase of the study will also receive a second injection of NanoPac at the same dose 12 weeks after the first NanoPac injection..

Plasma samples will be taken on the day(s) of NanoPac® injection at 1 and 2 hours after injection, as well as at each of the subsequent study visits, to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of intracystic NanoPac®.

Subjects will be followed for 6 months after the first NanoPac® injection for safety, tolerability and cyst response to therapy (as shown by imaging).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Signed informed consent;
  • Patients over the age of 18;
  • Recently confirmed mucinous cystic pancreatic neoplasm; may be confirmed by presence of mucin, cyst fluid carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) above 192 U/L, or other reliable diagnostic means such as endomicroscopy; KRAS analysis may also be performed at the discretion of the Investigator;
  • Unilocular cyst with diameter of at least 1.5 cm but no more than 4 cm;
  • Normal hematologic, hepatic, and renal function at study entry;

  • Appropriate steps taken to minimize or avoid the potential for pregnancy for subjects of child-bearing potential.*

    • Note: A female patient is considered to be of childbearing potential unless she has had a hysterectomy, is at least one year postmenopausal or has undergone tubal ligation. For the purposes of this study, adequate birth control includes at least one medically approved and highly effective method of birth control, defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e., < 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly, such as implants, injectables and oral contraceptives combined with the use of condoms. Only male patients whose vasectomy has been confirmed by semen analysis at least 3 months after the vasectomy are allowed not to use acceptable contraceptive methods.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Positive cytology indicating malignancy;
  • Thrombotic or embolic events;
  • Known hypersensitivity to study agent;
  • Known drug or alcohol abuse;
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
