Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Since patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) have a limited life expectancy, it is important to improve treatment strategies. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate whether neoadjuvant triple treatment chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiotherapy, followed by surgery and chemotherapy and immunotherapy survival in patients with BRPC.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX, SABR and pembrolizumab

Treatment starts with four cycles of neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy every two weeks, combined with pembrolizumab every six weeks, starting at the same day as the second cycle of FOLFIRINOX. Restaging is performed after cycle 4 of FOLFIRINOX with a CT-scan. Patients with a response or stable disease will undergo SABR 5 X 8 Gy followed by an additional four cycles FOLFIRNOX chemotherapy, combined with pembrolizumab. Restaging is repeated after 8 cycles FOLFRINOX in total. Patients undergo a surgical exploration if they have non-metastatic borderline resectable disease on CT-scan of the chest and abdomen, 3-6 weeks after completion of chemotherapy. Patients also proceed to surgical exploration if they discontinue neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX and/or pembrolizumab because of toxicity or have local progression at restaging within criteria for borderline resectable disease.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pembrolizumab

Intervention Type DRUG

Pembrolizumab 400 mg will be administered as a 30 minute IV infusion every 6 weeks.

Folfirinox

Intervention Type DRUG

FOLFIRINOX is a combination of systemic chemotherapy agents. FOLFIRINOX consists of oxaliplatin at a dose of 85 mg/m2, given as a 2-hour intravenous infusion, immediately followed by leucovorin at a dose of 400 mg/m2 given as a 2-hour intravenous infusion, with the addition, after 30 minutes, of irinotecan at a dose of 150 mg/m2, given as a 90-minute intravenous infusion through a Y-connector. This treatment is followed by a continuous intravenous infusion of 2400 mg/m2 5-FU over a 46-hour period every 2 weeks. (The FOLFIRINOX given in the trial is the modified scheme, whereby the fluorouracil bolus at a dose of 400 mg/m2 is omitted and the irinotecan dose reduced to 150 mg/m2).

SABR

Intervention Type RADIATION

SABR will be delivered in an image-guided hypofractionated scheme of 5 fractions of 8 Gy (total 40 Gy), prescribed to 95% of the planning target volume (PTV). Treatment is delivered on five non-consecutive days.
