About this study
Official title: A Phase Ib High-throughput Pancreas Precision Oncology Study Investigating the Feasibility, Efficacy, and Pharmacodynamics of Cell Regulatory-network Analysis Based Therapy Selection in Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
The overall objective of this project is to determinate the feasibility of administering personalized therapy to subjects with advanced pancreatic cancer utilizing the novel OncoTreat platform. The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of implementing the OncoTreat framework in patients with newly diagnosed, untreated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Read the detailed description
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a major health problem in the United States and throughout the world. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has the worst prognosis of any major malignancy in the United States and, unlike other common cancers, annual deaths from PDA are rising. During 2017, it is estimated that 53,670 people were diagnosed with PDA and approximately 43,090 people died from PDA in the U.S. Despite recent advances, cytotoxic chemotherapy for PDA has been disappointing with response rates of 20-30% for the most active regimens and little activity for targeted therapies. Even among the small subset of patients who are suitable for surgical resection at the time of diagnosis, complete resection is followed by recurrence in >90% of patients without further systemic therapy, with a median time to recurrence of 6.9 months. Thus all PDA patients require systemic chemotherapy and more effective regimens are urgently needed.
Previous versions of this record contained reference to an observational arm in error. The observational arm has been removed from the record for consistency with the study protocol.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
OncoTreatDevice
OncoTreat is a computational pipeline that begins with a tumor expression profile and ends with a list of several candidate regimens.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention Arm | Experimental | Individuals who meet the eligibility criteria based on their provided tissue sample will be followed by the investigators to obtain medical information every 4 weeks. This follow-up will consist of a review of medical records, contact with the participant's treating physician, or personal contact between the participant and the investigators at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC). During the study, their tumor tissue will be evaluated to identify medications that may help treat the cancer. The results of these tests will be reviewed by experts on a Precision Medicine Tumor Board (PMTB) and these experts may recommend a specific treatment to the participant or participant's physician.These participants will continue to be followed until death or withdrawal of consent from the study.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants Assigned Therapy With OncoTreat
The primary outcome of the study is whether a subject is assigned a therapy that they are able to begin on Part 2 of this study. Assignment of therapy is based on results from OncoTreat analysis and recommendations of the Precision Medicine Tumor Board (PMTB) which included assessment of availability and expected toxicity of identified agents.
Measured: 36 months
