Trial summary

The prognosis of patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer is poor, and the median survival is less than 1 year. FOLFIRINOX therapy, which induces tumor downstaging sufficient to allow surgical resection, could improve the overall survival of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study Evaluating the Rate of R0 Resection (Microscopically Negative Margins) After Induction Therapy With 5- Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin, Irinotecan (FOLFIRINOX) in Patients With Borderline Resectable or Locally Advanced Inoperable Pancreatic Cancer.

The prognosis of patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer is poor, and the median survival is less than 1 year. FOLFIRINOX therapy, which induces tumor downstaging sufficient to allow surgical resection, could improve the overall survival of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Based on the FOLFIRINOX regimen for advanced pancreatic cancer, a phase II study of this regimen in patients with locally advanced unresectable and borderline pancreatic cancer is planned to determine the rate of conversion to operability.

Being tested
Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, 5-FU

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, 5-FUDrug

Day 1 Irinotecan 180 mg/m2 IV to run over 90 min +/- 30 min Day 1 Leucovorin (Before bolus 5-FU) 400 mg/m2 IV over 120 min. +/- 30 Day 1 May give oxaliplatin and leucovorin concurrently

Study groups in NCT01359007
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FOLFIRINOXExperimentalCombination of drugs (Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)) known as FOLFIRINOX every 2 weeks for 4 treatments. At the end of 4 cycles, patients will be re-evaluated for resectability by CT scan within 28 days of the last dose of chemo. If found amendable to surgery, patient will proceed with resection, and type of resection (R0 or R1) will be recorded.
Receives: Drug: Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, 5-FU

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To Estimate, Among Patients With Locally Advanced Unresectable and Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer, the Proportion in Whom R0 Resection is Achieved After Neoadjuvant Therapy.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Proportion of Patients Whose Pancreatic Cancer is Operable (Resulting in R0 or R1 Resection) Following Induction Therapy.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Response Rate (Either Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) by RECIST 1.1 Criteria)

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Overall Survival

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Number of Participants Who Experienced Toxicity

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, 5-FU in people with Adenocarcinoma of Pancreas, run by University of Oklahoma 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?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. 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 9 Mar 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Mar 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

To Estimate, Among Patients With Locally Advanced Unresectable and Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer, the Proportion in Whom R0 Resection is Achieved After Neoadjuvant Therapy. (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 9 Mar 2018.
