About this trial
This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant surufatinib plus iparomlimab and tuvonralimab injection and nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine chemotherapy in patients with high-risk resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. Approximately 56 participants will be enrolled, including about 19 patients with high-risk resectable disease and 37 patients with borderline resectable disease. Participants will receive up to four 21-day cycles of neoadjuvant treatment. Participants considered eligible for surgery will undergo surgical resection approximately 4 weeks after neoadjuvant treatment. After surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy with either gemcitabine plus capecitabine or modified FOLFIRINOX will be selected by the investigators after multidisciplinary team review. The primary outcome is the 12-month event-free survival rate.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
12-month Event Free Survival (EFS) rate
The starting point is the day of the first dose of neoadjuvant therapy, and observation continues until any of the following events occur (whichever comes first): 1. Disease progression (RECIST 1.1; re-evaluation is allowed if immune-related pseudoprogression is suspected); 2. Failure to complete the planned neoadjuvant therapy; 3. Inability to undergo surgery (including for non-disease reasons) or positive surgical margins; 4. Found to be unresectable during surgery; 5. Death for any reason.
Secondary outcomes
Pathological complete remission rate (pCR)
In patients who underwent surgery after receiving neoadjuvant therapy, no remaining living tumor cells were found in the original tumor site or any regional lymph nodes in the surgical specimens (that is, ypT0N0).
Major pathological remission rate (MPR)
This study defines patients who had surgery after receiving neoadjuvant therapy as having a proportion of remaining viable tumor cells in the resected tumor bed of ≤50% of the tumor bed area.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Refers to the proportion of patients whose tumors shrink by a certain amount and maintain that reduction for a certain period, including cases of CR and PR. Tumor objective response is assessed using the solid tumor response evaluation criteria (RECIST 1.1). Subjects must have measurable tumor lesions at baseline, and efficacy evaluation standards according to RECIST 1.1 are classified as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD).
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
The percentage of cases with complete response, partial response, or stable disease lasting more than 4 weeks among patients whose efficacy can be evaluated.
