About this trial

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of intensified and sequential chemotherapy (Gabrinox) comprising Gembrax regimen (Gemcitabine-Abraxane) followed by the Folfirinox regimen (5FU, Oxaliplatin and Irinotecan) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

The study will also demonstrate the feasibility of combining this intensified chemotherapy with MRI-guided stereotactic radiotherapy in non-progressive patients after the chemotherapy by Gabrinox regimen.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient aged from 18 to 75 years at the date of signature of the consent form

Histologically or cytologically proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 1

Non-resectable tumour according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) 1.2015 recommendations after external review of imaging data by multidisciplinary experts.

Disqualifiers

Any previous treatment for pancreatic cancer (e.g. chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, targeted therapy, experimental therapy)

Gilbert's syndrome or homozygous Uridine DiPhosphate Glucuronosyl Transferase 1 A1 (UGT1A1 * 28)

Other concomitant cancer or history of cancer, except for treated in situ cancer of the cervix , basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, superficial bladder tumour (Ta, Tis, and T1), or good-prognosis tumour cured without chemotherapy and without signs of disease in the 3 years before inclusion

Prior radiotherapy likely to overlap with the planned study radiotherapy area (e.g. previous abdominal irradiation).

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Gabrinox

    Combination product

    Regimen: GEMBRAX Other Names: Albumin bound paclitaxel 125 mg/m² + Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² Regimen: FOLFIRINOX Other Names: Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² + Leucovorin 200 mg/m² + Irinotecan 180 mg/m² + 5FU bolus 400mg/m² + 5FU continuous 2400 mg/m² Gembrax + Folfirinox = GABRINOX

  • MRI-GUIDED STEREOTACTIC RADIOTHERAPY

    Radiation

    Radiotherapy will start between 5 and 6 weeks after the last injection of chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX regimen) in non-progressive patients after Gabrinox. Stereotactic adaptive radiotherapy in five fractions: prescription dose in five fractions of 10 Gy/day on consecutive days. At least two sessions/week should be performed. An interval of at least 18 hours between fractions is recommended.
