Clinical Phase II Clinical Study Evaluating the Toxicity and Efficacy of mFOLFIRINOX Associated With SBRT (Stereotactic Radiotherapy) in Patients With Unresectable Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

November 9, 2019 updated by: Katarzyna Kuśnierz, Medical University of Silesia

Primary goal:

Improvement of the therapeutic index by reducing the toxicity of treatment and increasing local control of the cancer process while evaluating the possibility of conversion to the surgical status.

Secondary targets:

  • Survival rate (OS) assessment in patients treated with mFOLFIRINOX + SBRT
  • Assessment of quality of life using questionnaires: EQ-5D, EORTC (QLQ-C30) and pancreatic cancer-specific QLQ PAS module 26
  • Early toxicity <3 months after completion of SBRT treatment.
  • Percentage of local control (1-year)

Study Overview

Detailed Description

STUDY PLAN Patients will receive initial mFOLFIRINOX (6 cycles) chemotherapy, followed by evaluation of the response to the treatment (imaging and laboratory testing) followed by SBRT, followed by mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy.

In case of exclusion of disease progression after 10 weeks +/- 2 weeks after completion of SBRT, patients will be qualified to surgical treatment to attempt a radical surgical treatment.

  10. Hemodynamic instability in the course of coronary and / or valvular heart disease and / or hypertension and / or other clinical conditions (eg uncontrolled diabetes mellitus).
  11. Clinically relevant cardiac arrhythmias requiring treatment.
  12. Stroke and / or myocardial infarction history within 6 months of inclusion.
  13. Respiratory failure associated with other co-morbidities.
  14. Serious psychiatric illnesses, which, in the researcher's opinion, could have a significant negative impact on the safety of the treatment.
  15. Other serious accompanying illnesses, which, in the researcher's opinion, could seriously adversely affect the safety of the treatment.
