Summary

The Investigators in the PCRT team have developed a therapeutic regimen which attacks both the tumor compartment and the stromal compartment of pancreatic cancer and induces complete responses in a small percentage of patients with advanced stage IV pancreatic cancer.

Conditions

  • Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer

Interventions

DRUG

Gemcitabine

1000 mg/m2 weekly on days 1,8, and 15 in a 28 day cycle. Part A: nab-paclitaxel/Gem for 6 cycles, followed by FOLFIRINOX for 6 cycles (31 patients); Part B: Alternate nab-paclitaxel/Gem with mFOLFIRI every 2 months for up to 1 year or 6 cycles of each regimen (30 patients).

DRUG

nab-paclitaxel

125 mg/m2 on days 1,8, and 15 of a 28 day cycle Part A: nab-paclitaxel/Gem for 6 cycles, followed by FOLFIRINOX for 6 cycles (31 patients); Part B: Alternate nab-paclitaxel/Gem with mFOLFIRI every 2 months for up to 1 year or 6 cycles of each regimen (30 patients).

DRUG

FOLFIRINOX

The combination below will be given on days 1 and 15 of a 28 day cycle; 5-Fluorouracil 2400 mg/m2 with a 46-hour continuous IV infusion; Leucovorin 400 mg/m2 over a 2 hour IV infusion; Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 as a 2 hour IV infusion; Irinotecan 180 mg/m2 over a 90 minute IV infusion Part A: nab-paclitaxel/Gem for 6 cycles, followed by FOLFIRINOX for 6 cycles (31 patients); Part B: Alternate nab-paclitaxel/Gem with mFOLFIRI every 2 months for up to 1 year or 6 cycles of each regimen (30 patients).

GENETIC

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Analysis

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Analysis will be performed on a fresh tissue biopsy of the tumor after chemotherapy has been administered. A targeted-based regimen will be determined from the results of the IHC analysis for the next therapy given to the patient in the maintenance phase of the study.

DRUG

Metformin

Metformin 500 mg daily as a 24 hour extended release tablet will also be given as part of the maintenance phase of this study.

DRUG

mFOLFIRI

5-FU IV infusion, 2400 mg/m2 46h continuous infusion (no bolus 5-FU) treatments per month equaling 1 cycle Leucovorin 400 mg/m2 dl (over a 2 hour IV infusion) Irinotecan 180 mg/m2 dl (over a 90 minute IV infusion) Part A: nab-paclitaxel/Gem for 6 cycles, followed by FOLFIRINOX for 6 cycles (31 patients); Part B: Alternate nab-paclitaxel/Gem with mFOLFIRI every 2 months for up to 1 year or 6 cycles of each regimen (30 patients).
