Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • One-year event-free survival (1y-EFS)

    One-year EFS is defined as completing one year from enrollment without the occurrence of any of the following events: 1) disease progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), 2) surgery with R2 resection, 3) recurrent disease following surgery, or 4) death from any cause.

    I year

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Proportion of patients who complete the study intervention

    1 year

  • Proportion of patients who require dose modification

    1 year

  • Proportion of patients who undergo surgery

    1 year

  • Radiographic response (unconfirmed) after chemotherapy, per RECIST

    1 year

  • Surgical resection rate (R0, R1 and R2 resection)

    1 year

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Treatment with Gemcitabine plus Nab-Paclitaxel and mFOLFIRINOX

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient has been diagnosed with borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (pancreatic cancer) and has not received systemic or radiation therapy. Treating physician has recommended neoadjuvant (pre-operative) chemotherapy and radiation, prior to surgery.

Drug: Nab-paclitaxel + GemcitabineDrug: modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX)

Interventions

Administered ion days 1, 8 and 15 of cycles 1 and 3 (28-day cycles).

Treatment with Gemcitabine plus Nab-Paclitaxel and mFOLFIRINOX

Administered ion days 1 and 15 of cycles 2 and 4 (28-day cycles).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Diagnosis of BR-PDAC. The resectability should be officially determined with surgical oncologists at the Dartmouth Cancer Center (DCC) GI multidisciplinary Tumor Board based on NCCN Guidelines Version 2.2024 Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.
  • Patients must be able and willing to provide informed consent.
  • Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis performed within 45 days before registration.
  • ECOG Performance Status: 0-1.
  • Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test done ≤ 14 days prior to study enrollment, and must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the course of protocol therapy.

You may not qualify if:

  • Any prior receipt of chemotherapy or radiation therapy for PDAC.
  • Known DPYD poor metabolizer genotype.
  • Any confirmed second malignancy that is likely to require systemic therapy during the study period, in the opinion of the enrolling investigator.
  • Any of the following baseline laboratory abnormalities:
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 2,500/mm3
  • Platelet count \< 100,000/mm3
  • Hemoglobin \< 7 g/dL
  • Creatinine \> 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Total bilirubin \> 1.5 x ULN
  • AST/ALT \> 5 x ULN
  • Any peripheral sensory neuropathy that meaningfully impairs performance of instrumental activities of daily living, as evaluated by the enrolling investigator.
  • Patients who are unable to provide informed consent.
  • Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Patients who are incarcerated.
