Trial summary

Splenomegaly is common in advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The spleen is an important source of immune suppressive cells and phagocytic cells and may mediate the accumulation of liposomal drugs and immunosuppression. In this study, spleen irradiation (SI) will be added to standard chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Spleen Irradiation With Nanoliposomal Irinotecan Plus 5-FU and Leucovorin in Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: a Phase II Study (SINAI)

Splenomegaly is common in advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The spleen is an important source of immune suppressive cells and phagocytic cells and may mediate the accumulation of liposomal drugs and immunosuppression. In this study, spleen irradiation (SI) will be added to standard chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Splenomegaly is common in PDAC. Therefore, we design a phase II study to enroll metastatic PDAC patients who have failed prior gemcitabine-based therapy and have splenomegaly. With add-on SI to standard nal-IRI/FL therapy, we hypothesize that 1) splenic phagocytes and spleen volume will be reduced with attenuated entrapment of nal-IRI within spleen, 2) splenic source of immunosuppressive immune cells will be reduced with potential reconstitution of antitumor TME.

What participants receive

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

  • nanoliposomal irinotecanDrug

    Also called 5-FU/leucovorin

    Upfront SI (Arm A): Upfront nanoliposomal irinotecan (80 mg/m2, day 1) + 5-FU/leucovorin (2400 mg/m2, 400 mg/m2) plus SI

    Add-on SI (Arm B): Add-on SI following limited progression to prior nanoliposomal irinotecan (last dose used) + 5-FU/leucovorin (last dose used)

  • spleen irradiationRadiation

    Upfront SI (Arm A): upfront spleen irradiation (1 Gy/fx, day 1-4) in cycle 2

    Add-on SI (Arm B): add-on spleen irradiation (1 Gy/fx, day 1-4) in cycle 1 following limited progression to prior nanoliposomal irinotecan + 5-FU/leucovorin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing nanoliposomal irinotecan and spleen irradiation in people with Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 2 sites in Taiwan.

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 21 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 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 2 sites in Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shih-Hung Yang, MD., PhD. (886-2-23123456, b4401064@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

12W-PFS (time frame: 12 week). 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 16 Oct 2023.
