Efficacy and Safety of Nab-Paclitaxel Plus S-1 in the First-line Treatment of Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: A Pilot Single Arm Phase II Study

Pancreatic cancer is a common malignancy of digestive system with gradually increasing incidence, is the fourth and seventh leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world (1) and China (2) according to the statistics in 2014. The vast majority of patients were confirmed as locally advanced or distantly metastatic disease at diagnosis with an estimated five-year survival rate of 4% (3) due to occlusive development and rapid progress. Advanced pancreatic cancer is characterized by poor prognosis.

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

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Gemcitabine has been approved as the standard chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer since 1996, but the efficacy is extremely limited by a response rate of 6-8%, and median survival of 5.5-7 months. However, Gemcitabine-based combination treatments fail to transcend GEM monotherapy on overall survival, including GEM + 5-Fu [10], GEM + Oxaliplatin[11], and GEM + Irinotecan [12] and GEM + Cisplatin [13] (7-8) . Until 2011, Conroy et al.[15] reported that FOLFIRINOX solutions significantly improved ORR (31.6% vs 9%, P=0.0008), PFS (6.4 vs. 3.3 months, P<0.0001) and OS (11.1 vs. 6.8 months, P<0.001) than GEM single-agent, but the significant increase of grade 3/4 adverse reactions, to some extent, limited its wide application. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to explore effective and safe chemotherapy of advanced pancreatic cancer.

Nab-Paclitaxel was approved by FDA for advanced pancreatic cancer in September 2013. S-1 has demonstrated potential value in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer as a new compound oral 5-FU(4-5) and has been approved for pancreatic cancer treatment in Japan.

We conducted a single arm, prospective, phase II study in our center on the first-line treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer with nab-Paclitaxel and S-1 to investigate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen.

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.
