Patients must have cytologic or histologic proof of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

All patients must be staged with a physical exam and CXR. Patients must have locally advanced disease defined as tumor extension to the celiac axis or SMA, or occlusion of the SMPV confluence (on contrast-enhanced CT). There must be no radiographic evidence of metastatic disease.

Patients must have had no prior chemotherapy or irradiation.

Patients must have a baseline Karnofsky performance status of at least 60.

Patients must have adequate bone marrow reserve platelet count >100,000/mL, hemoglobin>9 g/dL, absolute granulocyte count must be >1,500 cells/mm3,serum creatinine must be <1.6 mg/dL. Serum bilirubin must be less than 5 mg/dL prior to therapy with endoscopic or percutaneous drainage if necessary.

Patients must have estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.

Patients must be at least 18 years of age. There will be no upper age restriction.

Female patients must have had childbearing potential terminated by surgery, radiation, or menopause, or attenuated by use of an approved contraceptive method (intrauterine device [IUD], birth control pills, barrier device, or abstinence.

Patients cannot have hepatic or peritoneal metastases detected by ultrasound (US), CT scan, or laparotomy prior to chemoradiation.

Before receiving external beam irradiation, patients should be able to maintain adequate oral nutrition (90% to 100% of estimated need of calories and protein) and be free of significant nausea and vomiting.

Patients should have bilateral renal function, as determined on excretory urogram (IVP) or abdominal CT, or >2/3 of one functioning kidney must be able to be shielded from the radiation beam.

Patients must have no fever or evidence of infection or other coexisting medical condition that would preclude protocol therapy.

Patients must sign an informed consent form

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TNP-470 in people with Pancreatic Neoplasms, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow accrual.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patient Survival Rate (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Nov 2018.
