PROACTIVE Pilot Study: Pancreatic Resection Outcomes in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer Involving Visceral Arteries Treated With Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Description
Brief Summary
This clinical trial tests how well surgical resection after chemotherapy given before surgery
to make the tumor smaller (neoadjuvant) works to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to
nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and that cannot be removed by surgery
(unresectable). In general, surgery is considered the most effective treatment for pancreatic
cancer, especially when the cancer is localized and has not spread to other organs. However,
most patients with pancreatic cancer are not candidates for surgical removal because the
cancer has grown into or close to nearby arteries, veins, or organs and there is a concern of
damaging these nearby structures. Researchers want to find out if surgery after neoadjuvant
chemotherapy can be done safely to completely remove the tumor in patients with locally
advanced and unresectable pancreatic cancer.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Evaluate the R0 resection in patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma
treated with perioperative chemotherapy and surgery.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate overall survival (OS) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic
adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative chemotherapy and surgery.
II. To measure disease free survival (DFS) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic
adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative chemotherapy and surgery.
III. To evaluate the correlation between post-neoadjuvant/preoperative radiological staging
and pathologic staging.
IV. To estimate time to distant metastases (TDM) in patients in patients with locally
advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative chemotherapy and surgery.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the correlation between post-neoadjuvant/preoperative radiological staging and
pathologic staging.
II. To evaluate objective response rate (ORR) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic
adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative chemotherapy.
III. To assess if mutations on next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing and the change in
circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) pre- and post-operative is predictive of DFS
or OS in patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative
chemotherapy and surgery.
IV. To evaluate the rate of unresectability in patients with locally advanced pancreatic
adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative chemotherapy.
V. To evaluate pathologic tumor response and rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) in
patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative
chemotherapy and surgery.
VI. To evaluate correlation between R0 resection rate and pathologic treatment response and
survival outcomes.
VII. To evaluate number of cycles of perioperative chemotherapy received in patients with
locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative chemotherapy and
surgery.
VIII. To evaluate the adverse event profile in patients with locally advanced pancreatic
adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative chemotherapy and surgery.
IX. To evaluate the physical functioning, nausea/vomiting, and diarrhea, as measured with the
European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire
30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with
perioperative chemotherapy and surgery.
X. To evaluate the average operative time in minutes in patients with locally advanced
pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative chemotherapy and surgery.
XI. To evaluate the estimated blood loss (mL) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic
adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative chemotherapy and surgery.
XII. To assess the length of hospital, stay in for patients with locally advanced pancreatic
adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative chemotherapy and surgery.
XIII. To evaluate the incidence of thrombosis in patients with locally advanced pancreatic
adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative chemotherapy and surgery.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo laparoscopy followed by surgical resection with pancreaticoduodenectomy,
distal pancreatectomy, or total pancreatectomy at the discretion of the surgeon within 2-8
weeks following completion of standard of care neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen. Patients
undergo computed tomography (CT) and blood sample collection throughout the study and/or
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during screening. Patients also undergo tissue collection at
time of surgical resection on study.
After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at 30 days, every 3 months
for the first year, then every 6 months until 2 years.

Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
- A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria: Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months)

- Patients who have progressed on 2 prior systemic chemotherapy lines or received prior radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer
- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- Patients must not be pregnant or nursing due to the potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm nursing infants
