Recruitment & Eligibility

Status: COMPLETED

Sex: All

Target Recruitment: 2

Inclusion Criteria

Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed PDAC. Pathologic confirmation is mandated before initiation of any protocol specified imaging studies or drug administrations. It is recognized that for some patients, histologic or cytologic confirmation of cancer may be obtained following study enrollment. Patient volunteers to the DW- and DCE-MRI sequence parameter optimization imaging portion of the study are eligible if they have any pancreatic lesion, histologic or cytologic confirmation of pathology is not required for this patient volunteer group.
Radiographically resectable PDAC as adjudicated by MSKCC surgical oncologist without evidence of distant metastases by CT or by laparoscopy, if performed at the discretion of the surgeon.
Age > 18 years.
ECOG Performance Score of 0 - 2.
Absolute neutrophil count > 1,500 cells/mm3
Platelet count > 100,000 cells/mm3.
Adequate renal function as evidenced by serum creatinine < 1.6 mg/dL.
- INR < 1.5, unless patient is on therapeutic anticoagulation where a therapeutic INR is acceptable. Anticoagulation with low molecular weight heparin or warfarin, where medically indicated, is permitted.
Patient volunteers for the DW- and DCE-MRI sequence parameter optimization portion of the study are exempt from criteria 2, 5, 6 and 8.
Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to the administration of protocol specified interventions.
Ability to understand informed consent and signing of written informed consent prior to initiation of protocol therapy.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients with histology other than adenocarcinoma, e.g., neuroendocrine cancer or acinar cancers, are ineligible.
No prior therapy for pancreas cancer is allowed.
Patients with metastatic or locally unresectable PDAC (resectability is as defined by MSKCC pancreatic surgeon and as outlined
Active infection, with the exception of resolving cholangitis, will preclude enrollment on the study. Preoperative interventions can only be initiated when acute cholangitis has resolved.
Patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of PEGPH20 or cetuximab.
For patients who choose to undergo MRI imaging, hypersensitivity to MRI IV contrast media not suitable for pre-medication.
Patients who are receiving concurrent investigational therapy or who have received investigational therapy within 30 days of the first scheduled day of protocol treatment (investigational therapy is defined as treatment for which there is currently no regulatory authority approved indication).
Patients who have a history of venous or arterial thromboembolic events including pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis and stroke.
Patients who are pregnant or lactating
For patients who choose to undergo MRI imaging patients who are ineligible for an MRI with contrast based on Radiology Department screening.
Any other medical condition, including mental illness or substance abuse, deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate and participate in the study, or follow up procedures.
Patient volunteers for the DW- and DCE-MRI sequence parameter optimization portion are exempt from criteria 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
PEGPH20 And Cetuximab	PEGPH20	5 participants will undergo DW- \& DCE-MRI for sequence parameter optimization. The 1st stage of the study, patients (n = 5) will have the option to undergo (DW-) \& (DCE)-MRI for repeatability investigation \& T1 mapping. Optional DW- \& DCE-MRI will be repeated 2 to 5 days later, followed shortly by administration of 1 intravenous dose of cetuximab at 250 mg/m2/60 min. Pancreatic tumor resection will be performed 1 to 2 days later.Blood samples will be drawn at various time points. The resected tumor specimen will be studied. If deemed safe, we will proceed to the second stage of the study. Patients (n = 5) will have the option to undergo DW- \& DCE-MRI. 1 to 3 days later, patients will receive 1 IV dose of PEGPH20 at 3 μg/kg/10 min. Optional DW- \& DCE-MRI will be repeated 1 to 2 days after PEGPH20 administration, followed on that day by administration of 1 IV dose of cetuximab at 250 mg/m2/60 min. Pancreatic tumor resection will be performed 1 to 2 days later.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Effects of PEGPH20	1 year	administration on resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma tumors. DW- and DCE-MRI and distribution of cetuximab will be used to study tumor permeability to small and larger molecules, respectively. Resected tumors will be carefully studied for evidence of stromal degradation.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Safety of Administration of PEGPH20 and Cetuximab	1 year	in close proximity to surgical resection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Safety with regards to operative and post-operative complications will be characterized.
