About this study

Official title: Progression-free Survival After Minimally Invasive Surgical Microwave Ablation Plus Durvalumab (MEDI4736) and Tremelimumab for Unresectable Non-metastatic Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: MIMIPAC Trial

This phase-2 monocenter non-randomized prospective clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of minimally invasive microwave ablation plus immunotherapy for unresectable non-metastatic locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

Research Hypothesis Does MIS-MWA combined with durvalumab (MEDI4736) plus tremelimumab and gemcitabine prolong progression-free survival in patients with unresectable non-metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas?

Investigational Product(s) and Reference Therapy:

Combination of Durvalumab (fixed dose of 1500 mg) and Tremelimumab (fixed dose of 75 mg) will be given 2 weeks before surgery.

Minimally invasive surgical microwave ablation (MIS-MWA) of the pancreatic tumor will be performed two weeks after the first dose of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab After 4 doses of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab, only Durvalumab 1500mg is provided q4w until disease progression.

Systemic gemcitabine will be started 6 weeks after MIS-MWA. Gemcitabine will be given at a dose of 1000 mg /m² body surface, once a week for 3 weeks, followed with a week of rest.

Objectives:

Primary Objectives:

Progression-free survival (PFS)

Secondary Objectives:

  • Safety: clinical and hematological toxicity (NCI CTCAE v. 5.0) of chemotherapy and immunotherapy
  • Safety: number and type of postoperative complications of the MIS-MWA procedure
  • Length of hospital stay

Tertiary Objectives Overall survival (OS)

Being tested
Durvalumab 50 MG/ML, Tremelimumab, Gemcitabine, Minimally Invasive Surgical Microwave Ablation (MIS-MWA)

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    The study is exploratory and cannot be statistically powered for comparisons. Median progression-free survival (PFS) time is chosen as the clinically meaningful outcome. Survival estimates will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. For information, the reference PFS time in patients with non-metastatic LAPC treated with gemcitabine monotherapy is about 6 months. Results will be presented descriptively.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Durvalumab 50 MG/ML, Tremelimumab and Gemcitabine in people with Pancreatic Cancer Non-resectable, run by Baki Topal at 1 site in Belgium.

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 13 inclusion and 7 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 19 Sep 2024. 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 Belgium. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 (PFS) (time frame: 12 months). 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 19 Sep 2024.
