Brief Summary

This Phase II clinical study evaluates the safety and efficacy of a combination therapy for patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. Because liver metastases are a major factor in the progression of pancreatic cancer, this research utilizes Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy (HAIC) to deliver high-concentration treatment directly into the tumor's blood supply. The multi-step strategy involves first infusing Sodium Bicarbonate to neutralize the acidic tumor microenvironment , followed by the NASOX chemotherapy regimen (Oxaliplatin and Liposomal Irinotecan) and an intra-arterial PD-1 inhibitor to boost immune response. Patients also receive oral S-1 to maintain treatment effect. The primary goal is to determine if this integrated approach can improve Overall Survival for patients compared to historical standard treatments.

Conditions

Pancreatic Neoplasms; Hepatic Metastasis of Pancreatic Cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Overall Survival (OS)

  From the date of first treatment until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

  From enrollment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years.

• Objective Response Rate (ORR)

  From enrollment until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 2 years.

Drug: pH-NASOX-Immune Group

Interventions

pH-NASOX-Immune Group DRUG

Patients receive a combination treatment in 21-day cycles. On Day 1 of each cycle, an interventional procedure is performed via femoral artery catheterization to the hepatic artery, beginning with a pre-treatment of 50-100 mL of 5% Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) followed by a 5% glucose flush to modulate the tumor microenvironment. This is immediately followed by the NASOX-HAIC regimen, consisting of a 2-hour hepatic arterial infusion of Oxaliplatin (85 mg/m²) and an infusion of Liposomal Irinotecan (70 mg/m²). Before the catheter is removed, a fixed 200 mg dose of a PD-1 inhibitor (Sintilimab, Tislelizumab, or Toripalimab) is administered via intra-arterial injection. To complete the cycle, patients take oral S-1 twice daily from Day 1 to Day 14 (with the dose determined by body surface area), followed by a 7-day rest period.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Aged 18 years and above, with no gender restrictions;
• Pathologically confirmed pancreatic cancer (originating from the pancreatic ductal epithelium), with metastasis to the liver;
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 to 2;
• Adequate organ function, meeting the following criteria:
• a. Hematological tests:
• Neutrophils ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹ /L;
• White blood cells ≥ 3.0 × 10⁹ /L;
• Platelets ≥ 85 × 10⁹ /L;
• Hemoglobin ≥ 70 g/L; b. Biochemical tests:
• <!-- -->
• Total bilirubin ≤ 2× upper limit of normal (ULN) (for subjects with biliary obstruction, after biliary drainage ≤ 2.5 × ULN);
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in metastatic subjects ≤ 5 × ULN;
• Albumin level ≥ 28 g/L;
• Creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60 ml/min; c. Cardiac function tests:
• <!-- -->

You may not qualify if:

• Subjects with ascites requiring clinical intervention (including moderate to large amounts of ascites; subjects with ascites need to be stable for more than 4 weeks after drainage);
• Clinically severe gastrointestinal diseases (including bleeding, infectious inflammation, perforation, obstruction, or diarrhea greater than grade 1);
• NRS pain score ≥ 4 after standardized treatment with analgesics;
• Second primary malignancy within 5 years (except cured carcinoma in situ, basal cell, or squamous cell skin cancer; subjects with other previous tumors can be enrolled if there has been no recurrence within 5 years);
• Uncontrolled cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases with clinical symptoms, including but not limited to: ① NYHA class III or higher heart failure; ② unstable angina; ③ myocardial infarction or stroke within 6 months; ④ supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment or intervention; ⑤ uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \&gt; 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \&gt; 90 mmHg despite optimal treatment);
• Known active hepatitis B subjects (HBsAg positive and HBV DNA ≥ 10³ copies or ≥ 1000 U/ml);
• Active infection or unexplained fever \&gt; 38.5°C during the screening period or on the day of administration (subjects with fever caused by tumors can be enrolled as judged by the investigator), which, in the investigator\&#39;s judgment, would affect the subject\&#39;s participation in this trial or interfere with the evaluation of efficacy;
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
• Women of childbearing potential with a positive blood (urine) pregnancy test during the screening period (both male and female subjects should use reliable contraception during the trial and for 3 months after the last dose to prevent pregnancy);
• Subjects with other medical or social issues that, in the investigator\&#39;s judgment, might affect their ability to sign informed consent, participation in the trial, or interpretation of the trial results;
• Patients with an estimated survival time of ≤ 3 months are not included in this study.
