Study Groups

GnP+Serplulimab+SBRT

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

GnP

Intervention Type: DRUG

The GnP regimen is a standard-of-care chemotherapy consisting of Gemcitabine and nab-Paclitaxel administered in 21-day cycles.

SBRT

Intervention Type: RADIATION

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) is utilized in the experimental arm as a high-dose local treatment intended to induce immunogenic cell death and synergize with immunotherapy.

Serplulimab

Intervention Type: DRUG

Serplulimab is an immunotherapy component used in the experimental arm of this study to enhance the anti-tumor immune response.

GnP

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

GnP

Intervention Type: DRUG

The GnP regimen is a standard-of-care chemotherapy consisting of Gemcitabine and nab-Paclitaxel administered in 21-day cycles.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

3. Age 18-75 years, no gender restriction;

4. ECOG performance status 0-2;

5. At least one measurable tumor lesion: ≥10 mm in longest diameter on spiral CT, ≥15 mm in shortest diameter for lymph nodes; ≥20 mm in maximum diameter on conventional CT or physical examination;

6. No more than 10 metastatic lesions throughout the body excluding the primary tumor, with the largest metastatic lesion ≤10 cm in diameter; and at least one lesion deemed suitable for radiotherapy based on imaging assessment;

7. Normal major organ function (bone marrow, hepatic, renal, coagulation, etc.):

Bone marrow function (no transfusion within 14 days prior to screening): WBC ≥3.0×10⁹/L, ANC ≥1.5×10⁹/L, PLT ≥80×10⁹/L, Hb ≥90g/L;

• Liver function: ALT and AST ≤3× upper limit of normal (ULN), TBIL ≤1.5×ULN (if liver metastases present, ALT and AST ≤5×ULN, TBIL ≤2×ULN acceptable for liver-metastatic subjects); Child-Pugh score ≤7 points;
• Renal function: Serum Cr ≤1.5 ULN, proteinuria ≤2+ or ≤2 g/24h, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m² (calculated using Cockcroft-Gault formula);
• Coagulation function: PT, APTT, and INR ≤1.5×ULN. Patients receiving fixed anticoagulant therapy for at least 30 days prior to study drug administration may have PT or INR >1.5×ULN if deemed suitable for the study by the investigator, provided adequate justification is provided;
• Serum sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels ≤ Grade 1 (NCI-CTCAE version 5.0);
• Electrocardiogram (ECG) showing QTc interval ≤ 480 ms;

8. Expected survival ≥3 months;

9. Female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential must use at least one medically acceptable form of contraception (e.g., intrauterine device, oral contraceptives, condoms) during study treatment and for at least 6 months after the last dose of chemotherapy or PD-1 inhibitor;

10. Ability to understand the protocol and comply with its requirements prior to any study-related procedures; full comprehension and voluntary participation in the study, with written informed consent provided.

20. Concomitant medications deemed by the investigator to potentially affect the metabolism of the study drug during the trial period, such as strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers, drugs primarily metabolized via CYP3A4, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, or 2D6, and drugs with a narrow therapeutic index;

21. Pregnant or lactating women, or female subjects of childbearing potential unwilling to use contraception during the trial and for 3 months after the last dose;

22. Subjects with other factors deemed by the investigator to potentially necessitate forced discontinuation of the study, such as: - Concurrent treatment for other serious illnesses (including psychiatric disorders) - Severely abnormal laboratory values - Family or social factors that may compromise subject safety or data collection - Subjects deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator.
