Overview

This is a prospective, single-arm trial. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nimotuzumab combined with nab-paclitaxel+ gemcitabine (AG regimen) for postoperative adjuvant treatment of pancreatic cancer with EGFR-positive.

Description

This clinical study is designed as a prospective, open-label, single arm, phase II study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Nimotuzumab combined with AG (nab-paclitaxel+ gemcitabine) as postoperative adjuvant therapy in patients with EGFR-positive pancreatic cancer. The main endpoint is disease-free survival (DFS). Additional end points included distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), overall survival (OS), tumor-related markers and safety.

          serum total bilirubin (TBIL)≤1.5×ULN; aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and
          alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN);
          serum creatinine≤1.5×ULN or estimated creatinine clearance > 60 mL/min;

-

8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1;

          period.

Exclusion Criteria:

-

  1. Prior neo-adjuvant treatment, radiation therapy, or systemic therapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma;

-

       2. History of other malignancies (except cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin
          and carcinoma in situ of the cervix);

-

       3. Accompanied by other serious diseases, including but not limited to:
          compensatory heart failure (NYHA grade III and IV), unstable angina, poorly
          controlled arrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension (SBP>160mmHg or
          DBP>100mmHg); active infections; unmanageable diabetes mellitus; presence of
          uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring
          drainage; severe portal hypertension; gastric outlet obstruction; Respiratory
          insufficiency;

-

       4. Postoperative complications such as bleeding, pancreatic fistula, gastric
          obstruction, abdominal infection, and biliary fistula, which made the patient
          unable to receive adjuvant therapy within 12 weeks after surgery;

-

5. CA199>180 U/ml within 21d before adjuvant therapy;

-

       6. Known allergy to prescription or any component of the prescription used in this
          study;

-

       7. Known HIV, or syphilis infection, or active hepatitis (hepatitis B, hepatitis
