Perioperative Treatment in High-risk Resectable Pancreatic Cancer With NALIRIFOX

This multicentric randomized trial will compare the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy or surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with high-risk resectable pancreatic cancer. NALIRIFOX (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan liposome injection and oxaliplatin) will be used as the chemotherapy regimen.

Key information

About this study

Liposomal irinotecan is a new pharmaceutical form of traditional irinotecan. It adopts a special loading technology to encapsulate traditional irinotecan in liposomes, which can avoid its hydrolysis under physiological conditions, increase the affinity with cancer cells, overcome drug resistance, increase the drug uptake by cancer cells, reduce the drug dose,improve the efficacy and reduce the toxic side effects. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of NALIRIFOX + surgery + NALIRIFOX or surgery + NALIRIFOX in high-risk patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.

Primary outcomes

  1. 2-year Overall Survival Rate

    Time frame: 2 years

    Defined as the percentage of patients who are alive at 2 years after randomization (proportion of patients alive will estimated by the survival curve)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate

    Time frame: 4 months

    Defined as the proportion of patients who achieved complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) according to RECIST v1.1

  2. Surgical Conversion Rate(R0 / R1 resection)

    Time frame: 5 months

    Defined as the percentage of patients that underwent a R0/R1 resection

  3. R0 resection rate

    Time frame: 5 months

    Defined as the proportion of patients who have achieved R0 resection

  4. Event-free Survival

    Time frame: 1 year

    Defined as the time between signing the informed consent form to the first documentation of event where events considered are 1) disease progression (local recurrence, new lesions or distant metastasis), 2) a second malignant tumor occurs, or 3) death due to any cause

  5. Overall survival

    Time frame: 2 years

    Defined as the time between signing the informed consent form and death due to various causes

  6. Incidence of adverse events

    Time frame: 7 months

    Use NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 for classification and grading
