Overview
This is a single-arm prospective phase II clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of concurrent radiotherapy with envafolimab and capecitabine in locally advanced pancreatic cancer.Eligibility patients will receive intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)or volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT) to pancreatic lesions,metastatic lymph nodes and high-risk lymphatic drainage areas,concurrent with and followed by envafolimab and capecitabine.
Description
This is a single-arm prospective phase II clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of concurrent radiotherapy with envafolimab and capecitabine in locally advanced pancreatic cancer.Primary enrollment criteria is locally advanced non-resectable pancreatic cancer without systemic metastases other than retroperitoneal lymph nodes.Eligibility patients will receive intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)or volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT) to pancreatic lesions,metastatic lymph nodes and high-risk lymphatic drainage areas,concurrent with and followed by envafolimab and capecitabine.Concurrent and sequential dose of envafolimab is 200mg subcutaneous injection weekly.Capecitabine is with a concurrent and sequential dose of 500-800 mg/m2 bid po , taken orally for 2 weeks and stopped for 1 week (standard concurrent dose is 800 mg/m2 bid po , but for patients ≥70 years of age, 500 mg/m2 bid po depending on physical status ) until progression or intolerance.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age: 18-90 years old.
- Pancreatic cancer diagnosed by histology or cytology.
- Locally or regionally advanced non-resectable pancreatic cancer without systemic metastases other than retroperitoneal lymph nodes.
- Patients who have not received prior systemic chemotherapy or who have progressed on first-line therapy.
- At least one measurable lesion (≥10 mm long diameter on CT scan for tumor lesions and ≥15 mm short diameter on CT scan for lymph node lesions according to RECIST 1.1 criteria).
- ECOG score: 0-1.
- Expected survival ≥ 3 months.
- Normal function of major organs, meeting the following criteria:
- Criteria for routine blood tests need to be met (no blood and blood products
transfusion within 14 days):
- ANC ≥ 1.5×10^9/L
- PLT ≥80×10^9/L
- Biochemical tests need to meet the following criteria:
- TBIL<1.5 ULN
- ALT and AST < 2.5ULN and in patients with liver metastases < 5ULN
- Serum Cr ≤ 1.25ULN or endogenous creatinine clearance > 45 ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula) 11).Subjects voluntarily enrolled in this study and signed an informed consent form, were compliant and cooperated with the follow-up.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Presence of any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease in the subject.
- Allergy to study-used medications.
- Subjects who are on immunosuppressive, or systemic, or absorbable topical hormone therapy for immunosuppression (dose >10mg/day prednisone or other equipotent hormone) and who continue to be on it within 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
- Class III-IV cardiac insufficiency according to NYHA criteria, or cardiac ultrasound suggesting left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%.
- Those with abnormal coagulation function (INR>1.5,APTT>1.5 ULN) and bleeding tendency.
- prolonged unhealed wounds or fractures; major surgical procedures or severe traumatic injuries, fractures or ulcers within 4 weeks.
- Subjects with congenital or acquired immune deficiency (e.g., HIV-infected individuals), or active hepatitis (Hepatitis B reference: HBV DNA test value exceeding the upper limit of normal, Hepatitis C reference: HCV viral titer or RNA test value exceeding the upper limit of normal).
- Subject has received other prior PD-1 antibody immunotherapy or other immunotherapy targeting PD-1 or PD-L1.
- Known existing hereditary or acquired bleeding and thrombotic tendencies (e.g., hemophiliacs, coagulation disorders, thrombocytopenia, hypersplenism, etc.) or events of arterial or venous thrombosis in the last 6 months (up to the first medication use of envafolimab ).
- Subjects with active infection or unexplained fever >38.5 degrees Celsius during screening and prior to the first dose.
- Patients with central nervous system metastases;
- Subjects who have had a live bacterial vaccine or live attenuated vaccine vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
- Subjects with previous or concurrent other malignant tumors.
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Those with a history of psychotropic substance abuse that cannot be abstained from or patients with psychiatric disorders.
- Patients with concomitant illnesses that, in the judgment of the investigator, seriously jeopardize patient safety or interfere with the patient's ability to complete the study.
- Those who are not suitable for inclusion in the judgment of the investigator.
