Trial Outcomes & Findings for Chemotherapy, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy & Nelfinavir Mesylate in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (NCT NCT01959672)

NCT ID: NCT01959672

Last Updated: 2023-10-10

Results Overview

Rate of progressive disease defined as at least a 25% increase in the longest diameter of a lesion, taking as reference the longest diameter recorded since the treatment started. An exact one-sided 90% confidence interval will be constructed round the progressive disease rate.

Treatment (Chemotherapy, Oregovomab, SBRT, Surgery)
CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV, leucovorin calcium IV over 30 minutes, and fluorouracil IV over 24 hours on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 7 courses. IMMUNOTHERAPY: Patients with CA125 level \>= 10 receive oregovomab IV over 15-30 minutes on day 15. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses (weeks 1, 4, 7) and post- radiation therapy for 1 course (week 14). Patients may receive an additional 3 courses concurrently with chemotherapy upon recovery from surgery based on CA125 level. Patients also receive nelfinavir mesylate PO BID for 5 weeks beginning on day 15 of week 9. STEREOTACTIC RADIATION THERAPY: Beginning in week 11, patients undergo SBRT in 5 fractions over 5 consecutive days. Upon completion of radiation therapy, patients resume nelfinavir mesylate for 14 days (week 12-13). Patients without metastasis and with resectable disease undergo surgery in week 17-18.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 4 months

Population: Analysis of the primary endpoint (progression at 4 months) demonstrated that of the ten patients who remained alive, two (20%) had progressed at 4 months.

Rate of progressive disease defined as at least a 25% increase in the longest diameter of a lesion, taking as reference the longest diameter recorded since the treatment started. An exact one-sided 90% confidence interval will be constructed round the progressive disease rate.

The percentage of patients responding will be summarized using frequencies and percentages. Define poor, intermediate and good response as follows: Score 1-3: poor response to neoadjuvant therapy (still have majority of cancer at the time of surgery) Score 4-6: intermediate response to neoadjuvant therapy (still have moderate amount of cancer at the time of surgery) Score 7-9: good response to neoadjuvant therapy (have minimal amount of residual cancer at the time of surgery)
