Summary

In this study, tumors of the pancreas are treated with a device placed around the abdomen that creates an electromagnetic field that generates heat in the tumor. Heating the tumor improves blood flow and the delivery of chemotherapy to the tumor as has been shown in numerous studies for various cancers with potential clinical benefits. Subjects will receive the thermal treatment on the same day and prior to receiving standard of care chemotherapy for a total of 4 treatments. This study is an early feasibility study that aims to demonstrate the safety and the performance of the device.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

VectRx Thermal Therapy

Subjects will receive VectRx thermal treatment added to 2 cycles of chemotherapy regimen. The VectRx device will be used under continuous investigator monitoring of internal tissue temperatures via real-time temperature probe data, as well as clinical signs and symptoms reflecting the objectives described above. Up to 5 study subjects will be treated. They will complete VectRx treatment during day 1 prior to 5-FU based (e.g., mFOLFIRINOX) or Gemcitabine based (e.g., Gemcitabine/Nab Paclitaxel) chemotherapy infusion. Thermal treatment will be carefully ramped-up to achieve staged goals of average tumor temperatures between 38°C and 43°C for total treatment times up to 30-70 minutes. The target temperature will be 41.5°C.
