Conditions:

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

PHASE2

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, randomized phase II trial. Patients diagnosed with borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms, either mFOLFIRINOX or ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • All patients must meet the following criteria within 28 days of randomization (unless otherwise indicated) to be enrolled in the protocol:
  • Histologically or cytologically proven adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. If the patient has mixed tumor with predominant adenocarcinoma pathology, they can be enrolled.
  • Subjects will be staged according to the 2010 American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system with pathologic stage T1-4, N0 being eligible; and have a primary tumor of the pancreas (either pancreatic head, neck, uncinate process, or body/tail)
  • The tumor must be deemed as being borderline resectable. Final CT confirmation of surgical staging/ eligibility will be at the discretion of the pancreatic surgeon of the patient.
  • Disease is confined to locoregional site as confirmed by the CT and / or diagnostic staging laparoscopy to avoid occult peritoneal deposits. Diagnostic laproscopy will be only if absolutely required
  • Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1) on imaging studies CT
  • Screening Endoscopic ultrasound if done prior to consent but within 6 weeks of expected randomization date it may be used.
  • Karnofsky performance status greater than or equal to 70 or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance of 0-2.
  • Age \> 18
  • Estimated life expectance \> 12 weeks
  • If female patient is of child bearing potential, she must have a negative serum pregnancy test (βhCG) documented up to 72hrs prior to administration of first study drug
  • Patient has screening blood work performed which includes the following (should be drawn ≤ 14 days prior to randomization)
  • absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1.5 x 109/L
  • Platelet count ≥ 100000/mm3
  • Hemoglobin (HgB) ≥ 9g/dL
  • aspartate aminotransferase (AST),Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) Total Bilirubin ≤ ULN
  • Serum Cr within normal limits (WNL)
  • Coagulation studies with Prothrombin Time and International Normalized Ratio (PT/INR) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) within normal limits (±15%). • Patient has a urinalysis obtained (≤14 days prior to randomization) and the results are deemed not clinically significant by the investigator.
  • Patient has no evidence of jaundice at the time of enrolment. If stent is required to alleviate jaundice, it should be metallic. If patient has a previously placed stent and this is plastic, this should be changed to metallic.
  • Patient's pain symptoms have remained stable with no adjustment to analgesics within 7 days prior to randomization. Patient must be able to swallow entreat medications with no requirement for a feeding tube. Patient's must not have intractable nausea or vomiting which prohibits the patient from oral medications
  • Diabetes must be controlled prior to enrollment
  • Disease must be encompassed in a reasonable SBRT "portal" as defined by the treating radiation oncologist

Exclusion

  • Ineligible Histology including non-adenocarcinomas, adenosquamous carcinoma, islet cell carcinomas, cystadenomas, cystadenocarcinomas, carcinoid tumors, duodenal carcinomas, distal bile duct and ampullary carcinomas
  • Evidence of distant metastasis on upright chest x-ray, CT or other staging studies
  • Subjects with recurrent disease
  • Prior radiation therapy to the upper abdomen or liver at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist could impair delivery of the prescribed radiation treatment
  • Prior chemotherapy
  • Subjects in their reproductive age who are breast feeding or have a positive pregnancy test
  • Any co-morbid condition of sufficient severity to limit full compliance with the protocol per assessment by the individual treating physician
  • Concurrent active infection
  • Previous or current malignancies of other histologies within the last 3 yrs prior to randomization; with the exception of cervical cancer in situ, adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of skin or treated low risk prostate cancer
  • Patient with known historical or active infection with HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C
  • Patient who has undergone recent major surgery, other than diagnostic surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Patient who has a history of allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs.
  • Patients with a history of interstitial lung disease, history of slowly progressive dyspnea and unproductive cough, sarcoidosis, silicosis, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypersensitivity pneumonitis or multiple allergies
  • Patients with greater than 2 screening peripheral neuropathy.
