Adaptive Approach to Neoadjuvant Therapy to Maximize Resection Rates for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
An Adaptive Approach to Neoadjuvant Therapy to Maximize Resection Rates for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: A Phase II Trial
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
There are no investigational agents being used in this trial, and all doses, schedules, and modifications are based on established standards of care. The research components of this study will be the use of the two evaluation timepoints for assessment of efficacy of pre-resection chemotherapy (including the evaluation criteria defined within this protocol), and the collection of correlative blood and tissue samples.
Chemotherapy will begin with FOLFIRINOX - a standard regimen used in pancreatic cancer treatment, consisting of 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin. At the first planned analysis, if a switch is indicated based on prespecified criteria (see Section 8.2 for the specific adaptive decision criteria), gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel - another standard regimen in this setting - will be used. Radiation therapy may be used prior to surgery, based on findings on the final pre-operative scan per standard of care.

Participation Criteria
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma or adenocarcinoma confirmed by tissue. Histologies other than carcinoma or adenocarcinoma are not allowed.
Resectable or borderline resectable primary tumor, evaluated on a baseline contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scan (CT Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis with contrast is preferred; if MRI used at baseline, then follow up with MRI as well), and defined using Intergroup criteria:
- Tumor vessel wall interface 0-360 for portal and superior mesenteric veins.
- Tumor vessel wall interface <180 for celiac, common hepatic, and superior mesenteric arteries.
- No suspicious metastatic lesions (no visceral lesions, no enlarged nodes outside the surgical basin).
- Age ≥18 years.
- ECOG performance status ≤ 1.
- No prior therapy for index pancreatic cancer.
- Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined in protocol
- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial.
- For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated.
- Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load.
- Patients with a prior malignancy (with all treatment completed at least 2 years prior to enrollment) whose natural history does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of this study are eligible.
- Women of child-bearing potential and fertile men must agree to use adequate contraception (e.g., hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of active treatment.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness or comorbidities that would, in the opinion of the treating physician, prevent receipt of standard of care chemotherapy, radiation or surgery.
- Pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding are excluded from this study.
- Patients who are currently receiving any other investigational agents. Patients who have received other investigational agents previously who are no longer receiving these investigational agents may be eligible at the discretion of the PI.
- Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, per the PI's discretion.
- Patients who, in the opinion of the PI, will be unable to adhere to study requirements.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Neoadjuvant therapy
All patients will receive Neoadjuvant therapy.
|
Chemotherapy will begin with FOLFIRINOX - a standard regimen used in pancreatic cancer treatment, consisting of 5-fluorouracil (2400 mg/m2), irinotecan (180 mg/m2) and oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2).
Treatment will continue for 2 cycles (4 doses), and then re-evaluation will be performed.
If a decision to continue with FOLFIRINOX is made, it will be administered for another 4 cycles (8 doses).
Other Names:
At the first planned analysis, if a switch is indicated based on prespecified criteria , gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) and nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m2) - another standard regimen in this setting - will be used.
It will be administered for 4 cycles (12 doses).
Other Names:
Radiation therapy may be used prior to surgery, based on findings on the final pre-operative scan per standard of care.
Radiation therapy will be delivered in patients with artery and venous involvement meeting the Intergroup definition for borderline resectable disease.
Radiotherapy will be delivered via a hypofractionated approach over 10 fractions and will include target volumes to the primary tumor and elective coverage of vascular structures at risk.
Radiation will be delivered with concurrent chemotherapy.
Pancreatectomy should occur within 4 to 8 weeks after the last dose of preoperative chemotherapy.
Staging laparoscopy may be performed at the time of planned laparotomy but is not required.
Either standard or pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal subtotal pancreatectomy, or total pancreatectomy may be performed.
Surgical drains and enteral tubes (e.g.
gastrostomy and/or jejunostomy tubes) may be placed at the discretion of the operating surgeon.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Measuring the proportion of patients undergoing surgical resection using historical data compared to 32 patients in current study.
Time Frame: 16 months
|
Using historical data from prospective trials and meta-analysis of multiple smaller studies, the expected proportion of patients undergoing resection in a mixed population of resectable and borderline resectable cancers is approximately 60%.
We ambitiously aim to increase this to 80% or higher.
With a one-sided of 0.05 and power of 80%, we will need 32 patients to demonstrate this difference.

Overall survival will be calculated as time from registration on study to death. For survival time calculation, the Kaplan-Meier method will be used, and if the endpoint is not reached, the cases will be censored.

Measuring the Radiologic response (using RECIST 1.1) to neoadjuvant therapy
Time Frame: 5 years
|
Radiologic response using RECIST 1.1
|
5 years
|
Measuring the Pathologic response to neoadjuvant therapy as Complete Response, Partial Response, Progressive Disease, or Stable Disease.
Time Frame: 5 years
|
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm (<1 cm). Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm (0.5 cm). (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions). Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. |
