About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of In Situ Tumor Vaccination Using Durvalumab and "Booster" Radiation Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas Who Have Progressed Through First-line Chemotherapy

This is a single-institution, single-arm phase II trial of Durvalumab combined with Radiation Therapy (RT) for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients who have progressed through first-line chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-institution phase II trial of Durvalumab combined with Radiation Therapy (RT) for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients who have progressed through first-line chemotherapy. Pancreatic cancer patients who have received second-line or greater chemotherapy in the metastatic setting are not eligible. Target accrual is 39 patients. Durvalumab 1500 mg (or 20 mg/m2 if <30 kg) IV every 4 weeks will be started and continued during RT and afterwards until the patient experiences either unacceptable toxicity or disease progression, whichever comes first. Patients must have at least three radiographically measurable pancreatic cancer lesions in different organs that have not previously received RT, two of which will receive RT. Eligible lesions include either the primary pancreatic tumor in unresected patients or distant metastatic lesions. Three fractions of 8 Gy each will be prescribed to one lesion during Week 3. Three fractions of 8 Gy each will be prescribed to the second lesion during Week 5.

This is a single-arm trial with continuous monitoring of acute non-hematologic toxicity with the primary endpoint of progression free survival. Efficacy will be evaluated by time to progression or death, whichever comes first, and compared to historical control of chemotherapy alone as reported in the literature.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival

    Time from initiation of durvalumab to progression per RECIST 1.1 or death, whichever comes first. Per RECIST 1.1, progressive disease (PD) is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions compared to baseline sum of target lesions, or any new lesions. Confirmation of PD for participants who are deemed clinically stable by the Investigator should be acquired preferably at the next regularly scheduled imaging visit and no earlier than 4 weeks after the prior assessment of PD.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of the patients who have a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as defined by RECIST 1.1. The patient's best overall response rate defined as the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression. Per RECIST 1.1, CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions; PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. CR and PR requires a confirmatory scan preferably at the next regularly scheduled imaging visit and no earlier than 4 weeks after the prior assessment of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD).

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    The clinical benefit rate is the percentage of patients that have achieved a CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) as defined by RECIST 1.1. Per RECIST 1.1, CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions; PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions compared to baseline sum of target lesions, or any new lesions; SD is defined as not meeting criteria for CR, PR, or SD. CR and PR requires a confirmatory scan preferably at the next regularly scheduled imaging visit and no earlier than 4 weeks after the prior assessment of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD). Confirmation of PD for participants who are deemed clinically stable by the Investigator should be acquired preferably at the next regularly scheduled imaging visit and no earlier than 4 weeks after the prior assessment of PD.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Time to In-field Progression

    In-field progression is defined as PD according to RECIST 1.1 criteria (at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions compared to baseline sum of target lesions, or any new lesions) within the original field or area where the participant had been treated with radiation therapy. Confirmation of PD for participants who are deemed clinically stable by the Investigator should be acquired preferably at the next regularly scheduled imaging visit and no earlier than 4 weeks after the prior assessment of PD.

    The time to in-field progression is defined as the time from initiation of treatment to progression within the radiation.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from first treatment until death. Patients who are alive will be censored at the last date of patient contact.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Durvalumab and Radiation Therapy in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas, run by Baptist Health South Florida 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 9 inclusion and 27 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 12 Oct 2023. 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 12 Oct 2023). 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?

Progression Free Survival (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 12 Oct 2023.
