NCT ID NCT03322995

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests an adaptive treatment plan for people with localized pancreatic cancer. Doctors adjust chemotherapy and radiation based on how the tumor responds, aiming to get more patients to successful surgery. The study enrolls 125 adults with resectable or borderline resectable cancer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX, gemcitabine) and radiation
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help more patients with pancreatic cancer complete treatment and undergo surgery, potentially improving survival.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 trial with only 125 participants, so results are preliminary. Pancreatic cancer is aggressive, and the therapy may not work for everyone or may cause significant side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

INCLUSION CRITERIA * Be 18 years of age or older. * Be able to understand and provide written informed consent or have a legally authorized representative (LAR). * Have an Eastern Cooperative Group (ECOG) performance status \< 2 (please see the appendix). * Have documentation of histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma. Biopsy must have been completed prior to start of treatment; additional biopsy is not required for the study. * Have clinical stage consistent with resectable or borderline resectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, based on CT or MRI findings. * Have adequate organ and bone marrow function, as defined by: * total leukocytes \>3 x10\^3/μL. * absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>1.5x 10\^3/μL. * hemoglobin \>9 g/dL. * platelets \>100 x 10\^3/μL. * creatinine clearance \>60 mL/min or creatinine \<1.5 mg/dL; bilirubin \< 2 mg/dL. * aspartate transaminases (AST/SGOT) and alanine transaminases (ALT/SGPT) \<3 x upper limit of normal (ULN). At two weeks from biliary decompression, if the subject's serum AST/ALT remains greater 3x ULN, but has demonstrated a progressive decline, the subject may be enrolled into the trial and appropriate modification and dose adjustments will be made to the assigned regimen. Eligibility of subjects whose AST/ALT remain elevated 3x ULN, without demonstrating a downward trend, will be determined at the discretion of the trial principal investigators. * Subjects must be CA19-9 producers as defined by a pretreatment CA 19-9 \> 35 U/mL, when total bilirubin \<2 mg/dL. * Female patients must be postmenopausal (absence of menses for \> 1 year), surgically sterile, or have a negative pregnancy test and use at least one form of contraception for four weeks prior to Day 1 of the study, during study treatment and during the first four months after study treatment is discontinued. Male patients must be surgically sterile or use barrier contraception during the study and for four months after the last dose of any study drug. EXCLUSION CRITERIA * Has received more than two months of FOLFIRINOX or mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy as first-line therapy. * No documentation of a CA19-9 value when total bilirubin \< 2 prior to initiation of chemotherapy. * Has received any additional chemotherapy and/or radiation within three years prior to study enrollment. * Has any previous history of another malignancy (other than cured basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or cured in situ carcinoma of the cervix or localized prostate cancer with normal prostate specific antigen) within three years of study enrollment. * Uncontrolled comorbidities including, but not limited to, ongoing or active serious infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina, unstable cardiac arrhythmias, psychiatric illness, excessive obesity (BMI \>55) or situations that would limit compliance with the study requirements or the ability to willingly give written informed consent. * Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. * Pregnant or breastfeeding patients or any patient with childbearing potential not using contraception four weeks prior to treatment.
