Study Overview

Brief Summary

PRIMUS 002 is looking at 2 different chemotherapy regimens in the neo-adjuvant setting for pancreatic cancer. Each treatment will be given for 3 months prior to surgery

Detailed Description

This is an integrated, open label, non-randomised, phase II trial of 2 neo-adjuvant regimens (FOLFOX-A and AG) assessing efficacy and toxicity with integrated translational work. The study is powered on testing a proposed DNA damage response deficient biomarker for responsiveness in patients treated with FOLFOX-A; patients being treated with AG are recruited concurrently. The study has a prospective safety assessment of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy consisting of conventional radiotherapy with concomitant capecitabine. This safety assessment will include all patients (FOLFOX-A and AG)

  • Estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min (as calculated by Cockcroft and Gault or Wright formula or measured by EDTA clearance)
  • Negative serum Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) test for females with child bearing potential. Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential
  • Woman of child bearing potential, and men with female partners of child bearing potential, must agree to use adequate contraceptive measures (see section 7.1.11.1) for the duration of the study and for up to 6 months after the completion of study treatment.
  • Able to comply with protocol requirements and deemed fit for surgical resection, chemotherapy and CRT

Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior chemotherapy or CRT for pancreatic cancer
  • Known hypersensitivity for any component of any study drug
  • Active infection including Herpes Zoster and chickenpox

  • Serious medical or psychological condition precluding neo-adjuvant treatment and surgical resection
  • New York Heart Association Classification Grade III or IV
  • Liver cirrhosis (except for Child-Pugh A)
  • Major surgery within 28 days prior to trial entry
  • Any patients receiving treatment with brivudin, sorivudin and analogues or patients who have not stopped these drugs at least 4 weeks prior to the start of study treatment

  • Administration of any investigational drug within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to receiving the first dose of trial treatment

Arms & Interventions

FOLFOX-A

Experimental

FOLFOX A arm (14-day cycle)

  • nab-paclitaxel: 150mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes, day 1 (administered first).
  • Oxaliplatin: 85mg/m2, IV over 2 hours, day 1.
  • Folinic acid: 350mg flat dose, IV over 2 hours, day 1.
  • Fluorouracil infusion:1200mg/m2/day, as a continuous IV infusion over 2 days, day 1 and day 2 (for a total dose of 2400mg/m2 over 46 hours or 48 hours as per local practice.)

Patients will also receive daily G-CSF as primary prophylaxis against neutropenic events for all cycles. This should be given as per local policy for chemotherapy regimens given every 14 days e.g. it may be started on day 4 for 7 days (preparation and dose should be given as per local policy).

Intervention: FOLFOX-A (Drug)

Abraxane and Gemcitabine

Active Comparator

Nab-Paclitaxel + Gemcitabine (AG) arm (28-day cycle)

  • nab-paclitaxel: 125mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8 and 15 (administered first).
  • Gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8 and 15 (immediately following nab-paclitaxel).

Intervention: AG (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes
