Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if the study drugs nivolumab, albumin- bound paclitaxel, paricalcitol, cisplatin, and gemcitabine given together are safe and effective when combined to treat advanced pancreatic cancer.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Complete response rate [From date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months]
Complete response rate as defined by CT scan using RECIST 1.1 criteria and CA 19-9 (or CA 125, or CEA if not expressers of CA 19-9) down to normal limits.When a complete response is documented, a PET scan will be obtained to confirm.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 [From date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months]
Patients will be followed throughout their study participation and every 12 weeks following last dose of treatment until reported date of death.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Age ≥18 years of age .
-
Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
-
Capable of providing informed consent and complying with Trial procedures.
-
Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of ≥ 70%.

Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.
-
Measurable tumor lesions according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.
-
Women must not be able to become pregnant (e.g. post-menopausal for at least 1 year, surgically sterile, or practicing adequate birth control methods) for the duration of the study. Women of child bearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and be non-lactating. Both male and female patients of reproductive potential must agree to use a reliable method of birth control during the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Patients must have received no previous radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy or investigational therapy for the treatment of metastatic disease. Prior treatments in the adjuvant setting with gemcitabine and/or 5-FU or gemcitabine administered as a radiation sensitizer are allowed, provided at least 6 months have elapsed since completion of the last dose and no lingering toxicities are present.
-
Palliative surgery and/or radiation treatment less than 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment.
-
Exposure to any investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment.
-
Evidence of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis (negative imaging study, if clinically indicated, within 4 weeks of Screening Visit).
-
History of other malignancies (except cured basal cell carcinoma, superficial bladder cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix) unless documented free of cancer for ≥5 years.
-
Laboratory values: Screening serum creatinine > upper limit of normal (ULN); total bilirubin > (ULN); alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and AST ≥ 2.5 ULN or ≥ 5.0×ULN if liver metastases are present; absolute neutrophil count <1,500/mm3, platelet concentration <100,000/mm3, hematocrit level <27% for females or <30% for males, or coagulation tests (prothrombin time [PT], partial thromboplastin time [PTT], International Normalized Ratio [INR]) >1.5×ULN unless on therapeutic doses of warfarin.
-
Current, serious, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias as determined by the investigator.
-
History of HIV infection or active or chronic hepatitis B or C.
-
Active, clinically significant serious infection requiring treatment with antibiotics, anti-virals or anti-fungals.
-
Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment.
-
Any condition that might interfere with the patient's participation in the study or in the evaluation of the study results.
-
Any condition that is unstable and could jeopardize the patient's participation in the study.
-
Patient has a transplanted organ.
-
Patients with a history of autoimmune disease.
-
Prior PD-1 or PD-L1 therapy.
-
Patients taking any chemo or immunosuppressive steroids (equivalent to > 20 mg hydrocortisone per day).
-
Patients cannot have > Grade 1 pre-existing peripheral neuropathy (per CTCAE).
