Clinical Trial Summary

To determine the safety and tolerability of adding durvalumab to mFOLFIRINOX prior to surgery in patients with resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.


Description:

Despite curative surgery, pancreatic cancer patients have five-year survival rates of 20%. Adjuvant chemotherapy has improved survival in resected pancreatic cancer patients but only 10-15% are suitable for surgery and 30% of the resected pancreatic cancer patients miss out on adjuvant chemotherapy due to postoperative complications. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has improved the resection rates in the patients with non-metastatic pancreatic cancer. There is a growing interest to combine chemotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors to improve disease control in the early stage of pancreas cancer. The investigators propose a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility and safety of combining modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) with durvalumab (MEDI4736) in patients with resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Active hepatitis infection, positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) or HBV core antibody (HBcAb or anti-HBc), at screening. Participants with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of HBcAb or anti HBc and absence of HBsAg) are eligible. Participants positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA 15. Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of durvalumab. The following are exceptions to this criterion: 1. Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intra articular injection). 2. Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent. 3. Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication). 4.

Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of IP. Note: Patients, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine whilst receiving IP and up to 30 days after the last dose of IP. 17. Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not willing to employ effective birth control from screening to 90 days after the last dose of durvalumab. 18. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of the study drug excipients. 19.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other To monitor the change in microbiome during neoadjuvant therapy. Exploratory Objective - Collection of stool samples, oral swabs and tumour tissue to analyse microbiome changes during therapy. At baseline, at end of neoadjuvant treatment (within 2 weeks of last dose) and post-operatively (14-42 days post surgery, prior to commencement of adjuvant treatment)
Other Analysis of tumour tissue (baseline and surgical resection) for molecular changes and gene expression profile. Exploratory Objective - Immunohistochemistry of immune markers and Fluorescent In-situ Hybridisation to detect tissue localisation of the microbes. Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Primary The proportion of patients receiving at least 80% of planned neoadjuvant treatment. 80% of planned neoadjuvant treatment is defined as at least 5 cycles of mFOLFIRINOX and at least 2 of 3 cycles durvalumab. Dose modified cycles count towards received treatment.
Justification: As a pilot study, this primary objective addresses feasibility. A phase II study assessing use of neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX in borderline resectable pancreatic cancer patients has previously demonstrated an 80% rate of receipt of all planned neoadjuvant therapy (Murphy et al 2018).
At completion of neo-adjuvant treatment (at 3 months post enrollment)
Secondary The proportion of patients missing surgery due to significant treatment related adverse events. Address efficacy and safety of patients missing surgery due to significant treatment related adverse events. Every 2 weeks during neo-adjuvant treatment, at the completion of treatment (at 3 months post enrolment) and 30 to 42 days after the last dose of immunotherapy.
Secondary Treatment tolerability (Rates of adverse events as per CTCAE v5.0). Address efficacy and safety of treatment tolerability Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary R0 resection rate. Address efficacy and safety of the R0 resection rate. Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Pathological complete response rate. Address efficacy and safety of the pathological complete response rate. Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Objective response rate. Address efficacy and safety of the objective response rate. Through study completion, an average of 1 year
