A Phase II, Open-label Pilot Study Evaluating the Safety and Activity of Liposomal Irinotecan in Combination With 5-FU and Oxaliplatin in Preoperative Treatment of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (NEO-Nal- IRI Study)
This is a phase II, single arm, non-randomized, open label study of liposomal irinotecan with FOLFOX in the neoadjuvant setting in patients with resectable or borderline resectable, previously untreated pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of this treatment regimen in this patient population.
• Must be at least 18 years of age.
• A new clinical diagnosis of resectable or borderline resectable, previously untreated pancreatic adenocarcinoma confirmed by pathologic specimen evaluation
• No clinical evidence of metastatic disease
• Potentially resectable local disease, as confirmed by CT or MRI of the abdomen
• ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
• Any biliary obstruction must have been treated.
• Subjects with known or suspected Gilbert's disease must be formally tested for UGT1A1\*28 with results available to study team prior to treatment initiation
• Adequate organ function; as defined by:
• i. Hematologic-
⁃ ANC \> 1,500 cells/μl without the use of hematopoietic growth factors; and
⁃ Platelet count \> 100,000 cells/μl; and
⁃ Hemoglobin \> 9 g/dL (blood transfusions are permitted for patients with hemoglobin levels below 9 g/dL)
‣ ii. Hepatic-
• <!-- -->
‣ Serum total bilirubin within 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for the institution, with a trend downwards (biliary drainage is allowed for biliary obstruction),
⁃ AST and ALT less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN
‣ iii. Renal- Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN
‣ iv. Cardiac- Normal ECG or ECG without any clinically significant findings as defined by the treating physician
• Women of childbearing potential must be using an adequate method of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study and for at least 7 months after the last dose of study drug to minimize the risk of pregnancy
• Males with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use physician-approved contraceptive methods (e.g., abstinence, condoms, vasectomy) throughout the study and should avoid conceiving children for 4 months following the last dose of study drug.
