Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer | Drug: nab-paclitaxel Drug: Cisplatin Drug: gemcitabine | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
This is a phase 1b/2 open-label pilot study evaluating the preliminary efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel, cisplatin, and gemcitabine in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
An individual cycle of therapy will be defined as Days 1 and 8 every 21 days. Multiple cycles may be administered until the patient is withdrawn from therapy.
Overall response rates as well as individual categories of response (complete response-CR, partial response-PR, stable disease-SD and progressive disease-PD) will be determined using RECIST 1.1. Time-to-event endpoints, including progression free survival (PFS) and OS (overall survival) will be assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Evaluation of stable disease at 9 weeks will also be assessed. Toxicity (adverse events) will be recorded using the NCI CTCAE (v4.0, May 2009).

Experimental: nab-paclitaxel+Cisplatin+gemcitabine
This is a phase Ib/II open-label, pilot study evaluating the preliminary efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel 125mb/m2, cisplatin 25mg/m2, and gemcitabine 1000mg/m2, all administered intravenously (IV) on Days 1 and 8 every 21 days until development of toxicity that is unacceptable in the opinion of the patient or the Investigator or upon disease progression.

- Complete Response Rate [ Time Frame: 1 yr. ]
The primary objectives of this study is to pursue treatment of 25 individual patients with previously untreated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) to evaluate:
Complete response rate as defined by computed tomography (CT) scan using RECIST 1.1 criteria and CA 19-9 (or CA 125, or CEA if not expressers of CA 19-9) down to normal limits (from at least > 2x ULN). We expect to accomplish this in > or = to 5% of patients. When a complete response (CR) is documented, a confirmatory PET scan will be obtained.
If 1 or more of 10 patients demonstrate a complete response (CR), study will continue to enroll to a total of 25 patients.
If intolerable adverse events or no clinical benefit are noted in the first 6 patients, study will discontinue enrollment.
- Treatment-Related Toxicities [ Time Frame: Over the course of the subjects' treatment on study, approx 1 year ]Frequency of treatment-related toxicities
- Percentage Change in CA 19-9 [ Time Frame: Over the course of the subjects' treatment on study, approx 1 year ]Percentage change in CA 19-9 from baseline values
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Over the course of the subjects' treatment and participation in study, approx 18 mos ]Overall survival is defined as the time from study enrollment until death from any cause.
- Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: Over the course of the subjects' treatment and participation in study, approx 18 mos ]Progression-free survival is defined as the time from study enrollment until the first documented tumor progression (using RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death from any cause.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age >18 years of age; male or female.
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
- Capable of providing informed consent and complying with trial procedures.
- Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of >/=70%.
- Life expectancy >/=12 weeks.
- Measurable tumor lesions according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.
- Women must not be able to become pregnant (e.g. post-menopausal for at least 1 year, surgically sterile, or practicing adequate birth control methods) for the duration of the study. Women of child bearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and be non-lactating. Both male and female patients of reproductive potential must agree to use a reliable method of birth control during the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have received no previous radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy or investigational therapy for the treatment of metastatic disease. Prior treatments in the adjuvant setting with gemcitabine and/or 5-FU or gemcitabine administered as a radiation sensitizer are allowed, provided at least 6 months have elapsed since completion of the last dose and no lingering toxicities are present.
- Palliative surgery and/or radiation treatment less than 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment.
- Exposure to any investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment.
- Evidence of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis (negative imaging study, if clinically indicated, within 4 weeks of Screening Visit).
- History of other malignancies (except cured basal cell carcinoma, superficial bladder cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix) unless documented free of cancer for >/= 5 years.
- Laboratory values: Screening serum creatinine > upper limits of normal (ULN); total bilirubin > ULN: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and AST >/= 2.5 ULN or >/= 5.0 x ULN if liver metastases are present; absolute neutrophil count < 1,500/mm3, platelet concentration < 100,00/mm3, hematocrit level < 27% for females or < 30% for males, or coagulation tests (prothrombin time [PT], partial thromboplastin time [PTT], International Normalized Ratio [INR]) > 1.5 x ULN unless on therapeutic doses of warfarin.
- current, serious, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias as determined by the Investigator.
- History of HIV infection.
- Active, clinically significant serious infection requiring treatment with antibiotics, anti-virals or anti-fungals.
- Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment. Any condition that might interfere with the patient's participation in the study or in the evaluation of the study results.
- Any condition that is unstable and could jeopardize the patient's participation in the study.
