A Dose Escalation Trial of SBRT After Induction Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
December 15, 2022 updated by: University of Colorado, Denver
A Dose Escalation Trial of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) After Induction Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
This is a dose escalation trial to evaluate the safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) delivered in 3 fractions for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) who have received induction chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel).

Detailed Description
This is a phase I study, with an expansion cohort, of up to 34 patients to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a 3-fraction regimen of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for locally-advanced pancreatic cancer patients who have not developed distant progression following induction chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) as per standard of care.
After completion of induction chemotherapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy SBRT will be administered in 3 fractions, every other day, on an outpatient basis.
Dose escalation will start with dose level 1 (9 Gy x 3 fractions) and increase by 1 Gy per fraction at each dose level, dose level 2 will be 10 Gy x 3 fractions and dose level 3 will be 11 Gy x 3 fractions.

Women of child-bearing potential who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method of birth control to avoid pregnancy for the entire study period and for up to 4 weeks after the study are excluded. This applies to any woman who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization or is not postmenopausal (defined as amenorrhea for at least 12 consecutive months, or women on hormone replacement therapy with serum FSH levels greater than 35 mIU/mL. A negative urine or serum pregnancy test must be obtained within 14 days prior to the start of study therapy in all women of child-bearing potential. Male subjects must also agree to use effective contraception for the same period as above.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (LAPC) Patients Who Have Not Developed Distant Progression After Induction Chemotherapies.
Time Frame: Up to 3 months
|
This will be accomplished by the standard 3+3 dose escalation design.
Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) are defined by ≥ Grade 3 treatment-related GI toxicity within 3 months of SBRT.
These include: (1) Bowel (includes bowel perforation, obstruction, or hemorrhage) and (2) Stomach (bleeding ulcer, perforation) as determined by imaging or endoscopic evaluation.
|
Up to 3 months
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Local Control
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
|
Local control (LC) will be measured from completion of SBRT to the time of identification of any local progression by imaging or surgical exploration.
The pattern of patients experiencing local, distant or local with distant failure will be estimated using competing risks method.
|
Up to 5 years
|
Progression Free Survival
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
|
Progression free survival (PFS) will be measured from completion of SBRT to the time of tumor progression or death due to any cause.
PFS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier.
|
Up to 5 years
|
Overall Survival
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
|
Overall survival (OS) will be measured from completion of SBRT until death due to any cause.
OS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier.
|
Up to 5 years
|
Small Intestine Changes
Time Frame: 6 weeks after SBRT
|
Investigators will measure changes in the perfusion/permeability related parameters of peripancreatic small intestine before, during and after SBRT for patients using pCT and correlating these changes with the development of gastrointestinal toxicity such as duodenal ulcers, strictures, or enteritis.
Patients will undergo baseline, post-first-fraction SBRT and post-treatment CT scans.
|
6 weeks after SBRT
|
Vascular and Cellular Changes
Time Frame: 6 weeks after SBRT
|
Investigators will measure changes in diffusion and perfusion/permeability by using perfusion CT derived parameters that can predict treatment response and to assess any correlation between these perfusion CT derived parameters and local control and progression-free survival
|
6 weeks after SBRT
|
Quality of Life (QOL)
Time Frame: 6 months after SBRT
|
The primary objective of the QOL study is to document the patient's experience of treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer by examining global QOL, physical symptoms, physical functioning and emotional well-being at baseline, during treatment, and after treatment.
QOL measures including EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire and the Pancreatic Cancer subscale (EORTC-PAN26) will be assessed 14 days prior to SBRT (Time 0), 10-12 weeks after SBRT (Time 1), and 6 months after SBRT (Time 2).
The primary QOL endpoints include the EORTC global QOL, physical symptoms, physical functioning and emotional well-being.
