Cadonilimab Plus mFOLFIRINOX as Conversion Therapy in LAPC

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a prospective, single arm, single center, phase II study of cadonilimab plus mFOLFIRINOX as conversion therapy in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Eligible patients with histologically/cytologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) will receive cadonilimab (6mg/kg，IVD，D1，Q2W) plus mFOLFIRINOX (oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 , D2 + leucovorin 400mg/m2 , D2 + irinotecan 150mg/m2 , D2 + 5-fluorouracil 2,400mg/m2 46h continuous infusion ) for 4 cycles (8 weeks). After completing every 4 treatment cycles, the subjects will undergo imaging examinations of tumor lesions. If the subjects do not experience disease progression, they will continue to receive treatment until surgical resection, disease progression (RECIST 1.1), or intolerable toxic reactions occur, new anticancer drug treatment begins, withdrawal from the study, death, or loss of follow-up. All subjects who have received treatment are required to undergo efficacy evaluation every 8 weeks (± 7 days) after the start of treatment, until disease progression or study termination. After the 12th cycle of treatment, the maintenance treatment plan is to use capecitabine or S-1 combined with cadonilimab for maintenance treatment. During maintenance treatment, imaging efficacy evaluation is conducted every 12 weeks (± 7 days), and surgical resectability is still evaluated until surgical resection, disease progression (RECIST 1.1) or intolerable toxic reactions occur, new anticancer drug treatment begins, withdrawal from the study, death, or loss of follow-up.

* Drug: Cadonilimab+mFOLFIRINOX


Participation Criteria
=================
Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the exocrine pancreas. Patients must have locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). Patients must have LAPC evaluated by radiologist and/or surgeon according to either abdominal CT or MRI, or intra-operative findings. Locally advanced unresectable disease was defined by CT or MRI images as low-density tumor (primary and/or lymphadenopathy) with extension to the celiac axis or superior mesenteric artery, occlusion of the superior mesenteric-portal venous confluence aortic, inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion or encasement invasion of superior mesenteric vein below transverse mesocolon or unresectable after surgical exploration. Those who had superior mesenteric vein impingement, superior mesenteric artery abutment were defined as borderline resectable. Those who had superior mesenteric vein occlusion, superior mesenteric artery encasement were defined as unresectable. Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as >20 mm with conventional techniques or as >10 mm with spiral CT scan. See section 8.2 for the evaluation of measurable disease. Age ≥18years and ≤75 years. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of 0 or 1; see Appendix A. Patients must have normal organ and marrow function Patients who present with jaundice will be allowed to enroll after control with temporary or permanent internal/external drainage. The effects of study agents on the developing human fetus at the recommended therapeutic dose are unknown. Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with distant metastases are not eligible. Patients with endocrine or acinar pancreatic carcinoma. Patients may be receiving any steroid, immunologic or other investigational agents within 4 weeks prior to enrollment. Patients who have had prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy are not eligible. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to study agents used in the study. Patients who have above grade II peripheral neuropathy. Patients who had non-curable second primary malignancy within five years, except for non-melanoma skin cancer. 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. Pregnant women are excluded from this study because the study agents has the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with study agents, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with the study agents. Those who are immuno-compromised or receiving immuno-suppressive therapy are excluded from the study because of increased risk of lethal infections and possible pharmacokinetic interactions with study agent administered during the study.
