An Open-label, Phase I/II Study of the Pan-immunotherapy in Patients With Local Advanced/Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Chinese PLA General Hospital (301 Hospital)

Status and phase: Unknown; Phase 2; Phase 1

Conditions: Pancreatic Cancer

Treatments: Drug: Gemcitabine; Drug: anti-PD-1 antibody; Drug: nab-paclitaxel; Drug: Manganese Chloride

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT03989310

CHN-PLAGH-BT-041

Details and patient eligibility

About

The outcome of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. NCCN guidelines recommend FOLFIRINOX or modified-FOLFIRINOX as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen, but the response rate is unacceptably low. PD-1 blockade has been developed to a new class of cancer immunotherapy that could restore an adequate immunosurveillance against the neoplasm and enhance T-cell-mediated anticancer immune responses. Manganese has been confirmed to activate antigen-presenting cells and function as mucosal immunoadjuvants in pre-clinical studies. This one-arm, phase I/II study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of Manganese primed combined therapy of anti-PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy.
