Phase 3 Study of FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) +/- SBRT in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a chemotherapy regimen known as Modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) alone or with the addition of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT). We hope to learn if this new treatment combination helps to control the disease and improve survival for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival (PFS) means the period of time that a participant remains alive without tumor progression either locally or at a distant site in the body (metastasis). The effect of the study treatments was assessed as the median PFS of participants in the treatment groups. The outcome is reported as the median PFS with standard deviation.
38 months

Study Arms (2)
Modified FOLFIRINOX
ACTIVE COMPARATORModified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX), a chemotherapeutic treatment regimen of 5FU, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin.
Modified FOLFIRINOX plus Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy
EXPERIMENTALModified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX), a chemotherapeutic treatment regimen of 5FU, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin, in combination with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)
Interventions
Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² IV over 2 hours on Day 1 of a 14-day cycle.
Irinotecan 180 mg/m² IV over 90 minutes on Day 1 of a 14-day cycle.
Leucovorin 400 mg/m² IV over 2 hours on Day 1 of a 14-day cycle.
5FU 2,400 mg/m² IV over 46 to 48 hours starting on Day 1 of a 14-day cycle.
Radiotherapy treatment starting about 8 weeks after modified FOLFIRINOX induction chemotherapy, administered as 5 fractions of 8 Grey (Gy) each, on 5 separate days.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologically-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the pancreas
- Determined unresectable by a pancreatic cancer surgeon or a multi-disciplinary or gastrointestinal oncology Tumor Board.
- Stable or better disease on re-staging scans
- Typically, tumors \< 8.0 cm in greatest axial dimension but final determination of eligibility based upon radiation normal tissue constraints
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0, 1, or 2
- Leukocytes (white blood cells, WBC) ≥ 3,000/mL
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mL
- Platelets ≥ 50,000/mL
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) / alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 X institutional ULN
- Creatinine within normal institutional limits
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign an informed consent form
- Life expectancy \> 6 months
You may not qualify if:
- Metastatic disease
- Prior radiotherapy to the upper abdomen/liver.
- Prior chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer, other than up to 4 cycles of modified FOLFIRINOX.
- Age \< 18 years
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to:
- Ongoing or active infection (or infections requiring systemic antibiotic treatment)
- Symptomatic congestive heart failure
- Unstable angina pectoris
- Cardiac arrhythmia
- Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Any concurrent malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer, non-invasive bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix. Patients with a previous malignancy without evidence of disease for \> 5 years will be allowed to enter the trial.
- Pregnant or lactating
- Women of child-bearing potential who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method of birth control (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) for duration of the study
- Women who are not post-menopausal (as defined in Appendix III) and have a positive urine or serum pregnancy test or refuse to take a pregnancy test
- Male subjects who are unwilling or unable to use effective contraception for duration of the study
