New combo attack on pancreatic cancer: freeze and boost immunity

NCT ID NCT07306286

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 Results may not be published yet.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
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a two-pronged approach for locally advanced pancreatic cancer that has stopped responding to standard chemotherapy. First, doctors freeze the tumor using cryoablation, then give patients an experimental antibody called Apalulizumab that targets two immune checkpoints (PD-1 and CTLA-4) to help the immune system fight the cancer. The study aims to see if this combination improves overall survival and progression-free survival in 20 participants.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Apalulizumab (a dual-function antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4) and cryoablation (a procedure that freezes tumors)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new second-line treatment option for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who have not responded to standard chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination therapy also carries risks from both the freezing procedure and immune-related 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: * Aged 18 years and above, with no gender restrictions; * Pathologically confirmed pancreatic cancer (originating from the pancreatic ductal epithelium), with clinical records indicating locally advanced pancreatic cancer; * Clinical records indicating previous failure of standard AG treatment (having received at least one cycle of standardized chemotherapy, with disease progression or intolerance during treatment, or disease progression after the end of treatment); * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 to 2; * Adequate organ function, meeting the following criteria: a. Hematological tests: 1. Neutrophils ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹ /L; 2. White blood cells ≥ 3.0 × 10⁹ /L; 3. Platelets ≥ 85 × 10⁹ /L; 4. Hemoglobin ≥ 70 g/L; b. Biochemical tests: <!-- --> 1. Total bilirubin ≤ 2× upper limit of normal (ULN) (for subjects with biliary obstruction, after biliary drainage ≤ 2.5 × ULN); 2. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in metastatic subjects ≤ 5 × ULN; 3. Albumin level ≥ 28 g/L; 4. Creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60 ml/min; c. Cardiac function tests: <!-- --> 1. Normal electrocardiogram (ECG) or ECG abnormalities deemed clinically insignificant by the investigator; 2. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ lower limit of normal; * At least 3 weeks post-surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or other anti-tumor treatments, with general physical condition or related adverse reactions having recovered (toxicity ≤ grade 1) or stabilized; * Willing to participate and sign the informed consent form; * Good compliance and agreement to cooperate with survival follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: * Metastatic pancreatic cancer or has previously undergone interventional treatment for pancreatic cancer; * Subjects with ascites requiring clinical intervention (including moderate to large amounts of ascites; subjects with ascites need to be stable for more than 4 weeks after drainage); * Clinically severe gastrointestinal diseases (including bleeding, infectious inflammation, perforation, obstruction, or diarrhea greater than grade 1); * NRS pain score ≥ 4 after standardized treatment with analgesics; * Second primary malignancy within 5 years (except cured carcinoma in situ, basal cell, or squamous cell skin cancer; subjects with other previous tumors can be enrolled if there has been no recurrence within 5 years); * Uncontrolled cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases with clinical symptoms, including but not limited to: ① NYHA class III or higher heart failure; ② unstable angina; ③ myocardial infarction or stroke within 6 months; ④ supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment or intervention; ⑤ uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \&gt; 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \&gt; 90 mmHg despite optimal treatment); * Known active hepatitis B subjects (HBsAg positive and HBV DNA ≥ 10³ copies or ≥ 1000 U/ml); * Active infection or unexplained fever \&gt; 38.5°C during the screening period or on the day of administration (subjects with fever caused by tumors can be enrolled as judged by the investigator), which, in the investigator\&#39;s judgment, would affect the subject\&#39;s participation in this trial or interfere with the evaluation of efficacy; * Known allergy to any components of irinotecan hydrochloride liposome, other liposomes, oxaliplatin, 5-FU, LV, or S-1; * Pregnant or breastfeeding women; * Women of childbearing potential with a positive blood (urine) pregnancy test during the screening period (both male and female subjects should use reliable contraception during the trial and for 3 months after the last dose to prevent pregnancy); * Subjects with other medical or social issues that, in the investigator\&#39;s judgment, might affect their ability to sign informed consent, participation in the trial, or interpretation of the trial results; * Patients with an estimated survival time of ≤ 3 months are not included in this study.
