Pancreatic Cancer

Digestive System Neoplasms

Treatment

Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody

Clinical Study ID

NCT03983057

  • Ages 18-70
  • All Genders

Study Summary

The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. Current guidelines recommend FOLFIRINOX or modified-FOLFIRINOX as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen. Studies have shown that immunotherapy with Anti-PD-1 antibody can effectively increase the response rate and prolong patient survival in a number of cancer diseases. Here investigators intend to compare the therapeutic effects of modified-FOLFIRINOX alone and the combination of modified-FOLFIRINOX and Anti-PD-1 antibody in patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pathologically (histologically or cytologically) confirmed pancreatic ductaladenocarcinoma (PDAC).
  • No evidence of distant metastasis (such as liver, peritoneum, lung) evaluated byabdominal contrast-enhanced CT, MRI, and chest CT. PET/CT or other imagingexaminations would be used if necessary.
  • Initial assessment for definitive borderline resectable or locally advanced tumors (resectability judgment is based on CT enhanced scan or magnetic resonance imaging,NCCN2019 first edition standard).
  • ECOG score 0 or 1.
  • Serum creatinine level is normal, and serum total bilirubin level is less than 1.5 xULN.
  • ALT and AST are less than 2 x ULN.
  • If biliary obstruction is observed, biliary decompression should be performed when thepatient is randomly assigned to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
  • Leukocyte count (> 3.5 x 10^6 /mL), neutrophil count (> 1.5 x 10^6 /mL), plateletcount (> 80 x 10^6 /mL), hemoglobin (> 9 g/dL).
  • Signed informed consent.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of malignance treatment in the past, excluding basal and cutaneous squamouscell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ, papillary thyroid carcinoma
  • History of participation of other clinical trails within 4 weeks
  • History of immunotherapy within 4 weeks
  • History of receiving chemotherapy, radiotherapy and molecular target therapy within 2weeks
  • Tumor is a local recurrent lesion.
  • Imaging confirmed severe portal hypertension / cavernous transformation.
  • Ascites
  • Gastric outlet obstruction
  • Respiratory failure requires supplementation of oxygen.
  • Immune deficiency syndrome, such as active tuberculosis and HIV infection.
  • Hematological precancerous diseases, such as myelodysplastic syndromes.
  • Major cardiovascular diseases (including myocardial infarction, unstable angina,congestive heart failure, severe uncontrolled arrhythmia) during the past six monthsof enrollment.
  • Evidence of clinical-related or previous interstitial lung disease, such asnoninfectious pneumonia or pulmonary fibrosis, or baseline chest CT scan or chestX-ray findings
  • Previous or physical findings of central nervous system disease, except for adequatelytreated (e.g. primary brain tumors, uncontrolled seizures or strokes with standardmedications)
  • Preexisting neuropathy > 1 (NCI CTCAE).
  • Allograft requires immunosuppressive therapy or other major immunosuppressivetherapies.
  • Severe serious wounds, ulcers or fractures.
  • Confirmed coagulant disease.
  • Clinical evaluation is unacceptable.

Study Description

Investigators chose borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients. The planned treatment was given to the participants after randomization. Response rate, recurrence-free survival, overall survival, drugs related side effects and other endpoints events were recorded and analyzed, to assess the combination treatment with modified-FOLFIRINOX and Anti-PD-1 antibody could or couldn't benefit the patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
