Combination Therapy in Patients With Localized Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

(AIRPanc)

What this study is about

The purpose of this study is to combine standard radiation therapy with drugs that encourages the body's immune system against cancer cells and simultaneously adding drugs which also target the pathway that the tumor uses to evade the immune system (CD73 and A2a/b). The study hopes that these drugs will work in concert with radiation therapy to kill cancer cells.

The purpose of this study is to combine standard radiation therapy with drugs that encourages the body's immune system against cancer cells and simultaneously adding drugs which also target the pathway that the tumor uses to evade the immune system (CD73 and A2a/b). The study hopes that these drugs will work in concert with radiation therapy to kill cancer cells.

Interventions

RADIATION

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)

SBRT 40 gray (Gy) over 5 fractions

DRUG

Zimberelimab

240 mg intravenously (IV)

DRUG

Quemliclustat

100 mg IV

DRUG

Etrumadenant

150 mg orally

DRUG

Modified FOLFIRINOX

* Oxaliplatin 85 mg per square meter IV * Irinotecan 150 mg per square meter IV * Leucovorin 400 mg per square meter IV * Fluorouracil 2400 mg per square meter IV * Pegfilgrastim injector kit (6mg subcutaneous)

Primary outcome measures

Change in the number of intratumoral CD8+ T-cells

Time frame: Perioperative

The primary endpoint is change in the number of intratumoral CD8+ T-cells at time of surgery between treatment arm(s) compared to the SBRT + zimberelimab arm (Control Arm B). To obtain CD8+ T-cell count, simple immunohistochemistry (IHC) will be used to quantitate CD8+ T-cells. A designated gastrointestinal (GI) pathologist will review each hematoxylin and eosin (H\&E) stained serial section and IHC slide to oversee the process. Representative areas within the slide will be used for cell counts.

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Histological or pathological confirmation of pancreatic adenocarcinoma Cytologic or histologic proof of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) needs to be verified by the treating institution pathologist. A pathological report from non-treating institutions is sufficient to consent and to initiate investigational therapy if tissue sample is unavailable for evaluation at time of consent or enrollment. However, in such a case, PDAC diagnosis should be confirmed by the treating institution pathologist at a later time.
  • Completed 8 cycles of neoadjuvant modified FOLFIRINOX. Omission of oxaliplatin due to adverse events may be allowed in cycles 5-8 with consultation with the principal investigator.
  • Patients with surgically resectable PDAC who are considered appropriate to undergo the applicable operation.
  • Eligible to undergo SBRT.
  • Measurable disease as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.
  • No prior surgical, systemic, or radiotherapy for PDAC except for mFOLFIRINOX.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Adequate hematological and end-organ function, defined by the following laboratory test results, obtained within 14 days prior to initiation of investigational treatment:

Exclusion criteria

  • Prior treatment with T-cell co-stimulating or immune checkpoint blockade therapies, including but not limited to anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, and anti-PD-L1 therapeutic antibodies.
  • Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents concurrently.
  • Concomitant treatment with other anti-neoplastic agents (hormonal therapy acceptable).
  • Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites.
  • Uncontrolled hypercalcemia (ionized calcium \> 1.5 mmol/L, calcium \> 12 mg/dL, or corrected serum calcium \> ULN) or symptomatic hypercalcemia requiring continued use of bisphosphonate therapy.
  • Active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency, including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, Sjögren's syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, or multiple sclerosis (some exceptions permissible as outlined per protocol).
  • History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest CT scan. • History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted.
  • Positive HIV test at screening or at any time prior to screening.
  • Active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (chronic or acute), defined as having a positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test at screening. --Note: Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection, defined as having a negative HBsAg test and a positive total hepatitis B core antibody test at screening, are eligible for the study.
  • Active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, defined as having a positive HCV antibody test followed by a positive HCV RNA test at screening. The HCV RNA test will be performed only for patients who have a positive HCV antibody test.
  • Known clinically significant liver disease, including alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and inherited liver disease.
  • Known active tuberculosis.
  • Inability to swallow medication or malabsorption condition that would alter the absorption of orally administered medications.
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with these agents and breastfeeding should be discontinued.
  • History of allergy or hypersensitivity to oxaliplatin, irinotecan, leucovorin, fluorouracil, pegfilgrastim, or any excipients.
  • History of Gilbert's disease or known genotype UGT1A1 \*28/\*28.
  • Inflammatory disease of the colon or rectum, or severe uncontrolled diarrhea.
  • Active or history of celiac disease.
  • Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
