Intracystic Injection of NanoPac® in Subjects With Mucinous Cystic Pancreatic Neoplasms

Pancreatic Mucinous-Cystic Neoplasm Clinical Trial

Official title: A Trial Evaluating Escalating Doses and the Safety of Intracystic Injection of NanoPac® in Subjects With Mucinous Cystic Pancreatic Neoplasms

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will evaluate intracystic NanoPac® (Sterile Nanoparticulate Paclitaxel) administered via endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle injection (EUS-FNI) in subjects with mucinous cystic pancreatic neoplasms.

Clinical Trial Description

In this open-label, dose rising trial, subjects with mucinous cystic pancreatic neoplasms will receive intracystic NanoPac® via endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle injection (EUS-FNI).

In the dose escalation phase, subjects will be enrolled in sequential cohorts of NanoPac® at 6, 10, and 15 mg/mL at volumes sufficient to fill the cyst, at least equal to the amount of cyst fluid aspirated. Each cohort will have three subjects, with cohorts enrolled sequentially starting at the lowest concentration. Following Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) review of the cohort data, the next cohort may begin enrolling, an additional three at the current dose may be enrolled, or if the first dose does not provide adequate safety and tolerability the study may be halted. The dose determined to be the most suitable for further evaluation, defined as the highest dose with an acceptable safety and tolerability profile (as determined by the DSMB), will be the dose used in the second phase of the study which will enroll 9 additional subjects. Subjects enrolled in the second phase of the study will also receive a second injection of NanoPac at the same dose 12 weeks after the first NanoPac injection..

Plasma samples will be taken on the day(s) of NanoPac® injection at 1 and 2 hours after injection, as well as at each of the subsequent study visits, to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of intracystic NanoPac®.

Subjects will be followed for 6 months after the first NanoPac® injection for safety, tolerability and cyst response to therapy (as shown by imaging). ;
