Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to establish an induction chemotherapy response guided treatment algorithm for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer with arterial and/or portal venous involvement. By selecting patients who are most likely to benefit from surgery while continuing nonsurgical treatment in others, we will evaluate whether this algorithm improves overall survival compared with conventional treatment. Outcomes will include protocol completion, overall and recurrence free survival, and the 1year recurrence rate.

Other related information

This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm study of patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer with arterial and/or portal venous involvement. Consecutive eligible patients providing written informed consent will be enrolled.

Induction treatment consists of gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 and nab-paclitaxel 125 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 4-week cycle, with no treatment on day 22. Six cycles will be administered in principle.

Response and resectability will be assessed after six cycles. Patients with a favorable response who are considered resectable will receive gemcitabine-based chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery. Gemcitabine will be administered weekly for 2 consecutive weeks followed by 1 week off, for two cycles. Concurrent IMRT will be delivered at 1.8 Gy per fraction, five fractions per week, for 28 fractions and a total dose of 50.4 Gy. The standard treatment period is 38 days, with a maximum permitted period of 59 days.

Patients with an insufficient response or suspected disease progression will be switched to modified FOLFIRINOX. Each 2-week cycle consists of oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, levofolinate 200 mg/m2, irinotecan 150 mg/m2, and 5-FU 2,400 mg/m2 as a 46-hour continuous infusion. After four cycles, resectability will be reassessed. Resectable patients will undergo surgery; protocol treatment will be discontinued in unresectable patients.

The primary outcome is overall survival from initiation of algorithm-based treatment. Outcomes will be compared with historical data from patients treated using the conventional strategy.
