Study Overview

FOLFIRINOX Plus PF-04136309 in Patients With Borderline Resectable and Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

This phase I trial studies the side effects and optimal dose of PF-04136309 when given with combination chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX; 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, oxaliplatin) in treating patients with locally advanced or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. These patients are not candidates for surgical resection which is the most effective treatment for pancreatic cancer. Giving PF-04136309 together with FOLFIRINOX may shrink pancreatic tumors in some patients so that surgery becomes an option

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: To define the optimal dose and toxicity of PF-04136309 in combination with FOLFIRINOX (fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, irinotecan hydrochloride, and oxaliplatin) in patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: * To evaluate the safety of PF-04136309 and FOLFIRINOX by grade 3 or 4 toxicity for clinical use. * To determine the tumor control rate (TCR) as defined by stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), and complete response (CR): TCR = SD + PR + CR. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: * To determine the prevalence and function of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in the bone marrow, peripheral circulation, and tumor before and after treatment with PF-04136309 and FOLFIRINOX. * To determine the prevalence and function of MDSC in the bone marrow, peripheral circulation, and tumor before and after treatment with FOLFIRINOX.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person’s general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:
ALL

Sexes Eligible for Study:
18 Years

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

    Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient must have histologically or cytologically confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma which is borderline resectable or locally advanced; tumors considered borderline include the following: (a) no distant metastases; (b) venous involvement of the superior mesenteric vein/portal vein demonstrating tumor abutment with or without impingement and narrowing of the lumen, encasement of the superior mesenteric vein/portal vein but without encasement of the nearby arteries, or short segment venous occlusion resulting from either tumor thrombus or encasement but with suitable vessel proximal and distal to the area of vessel involvement, allowing for safe resection and reconstruction; (c) gastroduodenal artery encasement up to the hepatic artery with either short segment encasement or direct abutment of the hepatic artery, without extension to the celiac axis; (d) tumor abutment of the superior mesenteric artery not to exceed 180 degrees of the circumference of the vessel wall
  • Patient must have radiographically measurable disease defined as lesions that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as >= 10 mm with computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or >= 10 mm with calipers by clinical exam
