Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed PDAC. Pathologic confirmation is mandated before initiation of any protocol specified imaging studies or drug administrations. It is recognized that for some patients, histologic or cytologic confirmation of cancer may be obtained following study enrollment. Patient volunteers to the DW- and DCE-MRI sequence parameter optimization imaging portion of the study are eligible if they have any pancreatic lesion, histologic or cytologic confirmation of pathology is not required for this patient volunteer group.
  • Radiographically resectable PDAC as adjudicated by MSKCC surgical oncologist without evidence of distant metastases by CT or by laparoscopy, if performed at the discretion of the surgeon.
  • Age > 18 years.
  • ECOG Performance Score of 0 - 2.
  • Absolute neutrophil count > 1,500 cells/mm3
  • Platelet count > 100,000 cells/mm3.

  • Adequate renal function as evidenced by serum creatinine < 1.6 mg/dL.
  • INR < 1.5, unless patient is on therapeutic anticoagulation where a therapeutic INR is acceptable. Anticoagulation with low molecular weight heparin or warfarin, where medically indicated, is permitted.
  • Patient volunteers for the DW- and DCE-MRI sequence parameter optimization portion of the study are exempt from criteria 2, 5, 6 and 8.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to the administration of protocol specified interventions.
  • Ability to understand informed consent and signing of written informed consent prior to initiation of protocol therapy.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with histology other than adenocarcinoma, e.g., neuroendocrine cancer or acinar cancers, are ineligible.
  • No prior therapy for pancreas cancer is allowed.
  • Patients with metastatic or locally unresectable PDAC (resectability is as defined by MSKCC pancreatic surgeon and as outlined
  • Active infection, with the exception of resolving cholangitis, will preclude enrollment on the study. Preoperative interventions can only be initiated when acute cholangitis has resolved.
  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of PEGPH20 or cetuximab.
  • For patients who choose to undergo MRI imaging, hypersensitivity to MRI IV contrast media not suitable for pre-medication.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Patients who are receiving concurrent investigational therapy or who have received investigational therapy within 30 days of the first scheduled day of protocol treatment (investigational therapy is defined as treatment for which there is currently no regulatory authority approved indication).
  • Patients who have a history of venous or arterial thromboembolic events including pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis and stroke.
  • Patients who are pregnant or lactating
  • For patients who choose to undergo MRI imaging patients who are ineligible for an MRI with contrast based on Radiology Department screening.
  • Any other medical condition, including mental illness or substance abuse, deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate and participate in the study, or follow up procedures.
  • Patient volunteers for the DW- and DCE-MRI sequence parameter optimization portion are exempt from criteria 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18.

About this study

This study has several purposes. DCE-MRI will be used to image the tumor. Safety of cetuximab given before surgery will be studied. Cetuximab delivery to the tumor will be studied. In Stage 2 of this study, the safety of cetuximab and PEGPH20 given before surgery will be studied. Also, the effects of PEGPH20 on tumors will be studied.

Study groups in NCT02241187
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PEGPH20 And CetuximabExperimental5 participants will undergo DW- \& DCE-MRI for sequence parameter optimization. The 1st stage of the study, patients (n = 5) will have the option to undergo (DW-) \& (DCE)-MRI for repeatability investigation \& T1 mapping. Optional DW- \& DCE-MRI will be repeated 2 to 5 days later, followed shortly by administration of 1 intravenous dose of cetuximab at 250 mg/m2/60 min. Pancreatic tumor resection will be performed 1 to 2 days later.Blood samples will be drawn at various time points. The resected tumor specimen will be studied. If deemed safe, we will proceed to the second stage of the study. Patients (n = 5) will have the option to undergo DW- \& DCE-MRI. 1 to 3 days later, patients will receive 1 IV dose of PEGPH20 at 3 μg/kg/10 min. Optional DW- \& DCE-MRI will be repeated 1 to 2 days after PEGPH20 administration, followed on that day by administration of 1 IV dose of cetuximab at 250 mg/m2/60 min. Pancreatic tumor resection will be performed 1 to 2 days later.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effects of PEGPH20

    administration on resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma tumors. DW- and DCE-MRI and distribution of cetuximab will be used to study tumor permeability to small and larger molecules, respectively. Resected tumors will be carefully studied for evidence of stromal degradation.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety of Administration of PEGPH20 and Cetuximab

    in close proximity to surgical resection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Safety with regards to operative and post-operative complications will be characterized.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PEGPH20, Cetuximab and DW & DCE-MRI in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Sep 2017. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Sep 2017). 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?

Effects of PEGPH20 (time frame: 1 year). 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 27 Sep 2017.
