Conditions: Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: PHASE2
Enrollment: 24
Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Location: The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Houston Texas
Summary
The purpose of this study is to perform a pilot phase II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined EUS-RFA, chemotherapy, and systemic immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) for the treatment of locally advanced unresectable and metastatic Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC).
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study,including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations, including follow-up
* Biopsy-proven locally advanced unresectable or metastatic PDAC
1. Patients who have undergone prior resection will be excluded unless there is recurrent pancreatic tumor that is amenable to EUS-RFA.
2. If biliary metal stent is placed, during procedure of EUS-RFA, indwelling biliary metal stent will be removed during initial EUS-RFA and then replaced with plastic stent.
* Mental capacity to provide informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status 0-2
* At least one measurable metastatic lesion on axial imaging per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.
* No prior systemic therapy, including chemotherapy or chemoradiation is permitted with the following exceptions:
1. Prior adjuvant therapy (including chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma is permitted if standard of care neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy was completed at least 3 months prior to study enrollment. Prior adjuvant therapy may include mFFX, NALIRIFOX, GA or Capecitabine (Xeloda).
2. If started on first-line treatment for mPDAC elsewhere (i.e., not at our study site), eligible participants can have undergone 3 months of chemotherapy with clinically stable disease (defined as no evidence of clinical progression) before study entry. Note: Imaging done outside the site will need to be reviewed for a 2nd opinion to confirm stable disease.
i. For patients who had prior treatment and stable disease up to 3 months and confirmed radiographically by our radiology investigators, then patients can proceed with EUS-RFA within 6-8 weeks of enrollment of study.
c. Patients who have started chemotherapy within a 3-month timeframe are allowed.
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1 x 109/L
* Platelet count ≥75 x 109/L
* Albumin levels ≥3 g/dL
* Total serum bilirubin \
