Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase I/Ib trial, single-center, non-randomized, open-label study of Protein-bound Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, And Gemcitabine (GCN) Combined with Tumor Treatment Fields (TTF) and G+TTF maintenance therapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Combination Product: Modified GCN+TTF treatment
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

GCN is predicted to be the front-line therapy for biliary and pancreatic cancer in the future given excellent results of current early clinical trials (ORR ≥ 67% in pancreatic cancer). This will change standard of care for front-line therapy in patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer. In this cohort of patients' tolerability after 6 cycles of therapy will be a challenge. Investigators hypothesize that developing a maintenance strategy with TTF+G will be cutting edge approach and can potentially transform front-line standard of care therapy in patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer. If this pilot study proves fruitful then a larger study to confirm findings can be conducted.

Sequential Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
The trial will compose of 2 parts with a total of 40 subjects. The 1st part would be a safety run-in phase (phase I). In this phase, 6 patients will be treated after completing screening procedures and meeting eligibility criteria. If 6 patients tolerate this dose level of GCN+TTF through the 1st cycle without defined dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) or grade 4 treatment related adverse events (TRAE), the 2nd part of the study (phase Ib portion) will commence. An additional 34 patients will be enrolled in the expansion cohort (phase Ib).The trial will compose of 2 parts with a total of 40 subjects. The 1st part would be a safety run-in phase (phase I).

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Modified GCN+TTF treatment

The trial will compose of 2 parts with a total of 40 subjects. The regimen will consist of gemcitabine (G) administered at a dose of 800 mg/m2, cisplatin (C) 30 mg/m2, and protein-bound paclitaxel (N) 150 mg/m2 administered on cycle 1 day 1 and every 2 weeks thereafter and TTF will be administered daily (150kHz 18 hours/day) starting with Cycle 1 Day 1 (dose level 1). After completing 6 cycles, patients will then transition to a maintenance phase of G administered at a dose of 1000 mg/m2 every 2 weeks and daily TTF (150 KHZ 18 hours/day) until progression of disease (POD) per RECIST v1.1. If 6 patients tolerate the dose level of GCN+TTF through the 1st cycle without defined dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) or grade 4 treatment related adverse events (TRAE), the 2nd part of the study (phase Ib portion) will commence. An additional 34 patients will be enrolled in the expansion cohort (phase Ib).

Combination Product: Modified GCN+TTF treatment
The regimen will consist of gemcitabine (G) administered at a dose of 800 mg/m2, cisplatin (C) 30 mg/m2, and protein-bound paclitaxel (N) 150 mg/m2 administered on cycle 1 day 1 and every 2 weeks thereafter and TTF will be administered daily (150kHz 18 hours/day) starting with Cycle 1 Day 1 (dose level 1). One cycle consists of 28 days including 2 chemotherapy treatments (same regimen studied in the PAXG trial: Reni BJC 2016 without capecitabine). After completing 6 cycles, patients will then transition to a maintenance phase of G administered at a dose of 1000 mg/m2 every 2 weeks and daily TTF (150 KHZ 18 hours/day) until progression of disease (POD) per RECIST v1.1.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Determine safety of (m)-GCN+TTF [28 days]

      To determine the safety of modified (m)-GCN+TTF in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic pancreatic cancer (met-PC) by measuring grade 4 treatment related adverse events (TRAE).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Progression-free Survival [Six months]

    2. Overall Response Rate [Six months]

      Objective responses in tumor size will be evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1).

    3. Overall Survival [Twelve months]
