About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if surufatinib (VEGFR-TKI) plus toripalimab (PD-1 inhibitor) and mFOLFIRINOX (chemotherapy) works as neoadjuvant therapy for patients with high-risk or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. It will also learn about the safety of the combination regimen. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the treatment regimen of surufatinib combined with immunotherapy and chemotherapy could provide further survival benefits for patients with high-risk resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer as neoadjuvant therapy?

Is the safety of this combination therapy tolerable?

Participants will:

Take surufatinib (200mg, qd, po, q2w), Toripalimab (3mg/kg, iv, d1, q2w), Oxaliplatin (68 mg/m², iv, d1, q2w), Irinotecan (135 mg/m², iv, d1, q2w), Calcium folinate (400 mg/m², iv, d1, q2w), 5-FU (2400 mg/m², iv). Treatment for up to 8 cycles.

Visit the clinic once every 8 weeks (± 7 days) for checkups and tests. Keep a diary of their symptoms and record daily medication doses.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Voluntarily sign the informed consent form.

Ages 18-75 years, no gender restrictions.

High-risk features include: ① Imaging findings; ② Significant elevation of CA 19-9 (baseline >210 U/ml, Vincent P Groot, Ann Surg. 2019 Jun;269(6):1154-1162); ③ Large primary tumor (>3 cm, Vincent P Groot, Ann Surg. 2019 Jun;269(6):1154-1162); ④ Large regional lymph nodes (it is recommended to use imaging to assess lymph node metastasis, or if the number of metastatic lymph nodes >3, N2 stage); ⑤ Excessive weight loss (more than 5 kg within 1 month); ⑥ Severe pain (main complaint of abdominal pain is sufficient).

Definition of borderline resectable: ① Arteries: Tumor contact with the celiac trunk (≤180°) or superior mesenteric artery (SMA) (≤180°), or involvement of the hepatic artery that is reconstructable. ② Veins: Narrowing or occlusion of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV)/portal vein (PV), but the proximal/distal vessels are suitable for reconstruction.

Disqualifiers

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

12-month Event Free Survival Rate

Event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from enrollment to the first occurrence of any of the following events, including (1) disease progression according to RECIST criteria, (2) undergoing R2 resection surgery, (3) disease recurrence after surgery, or (4) death from any cause. The 12-month EFS rate is defined as the proportion of patients among the total enrolled who have not experienced any of the above predefined events within 12 months from enrollment.

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of observation at 12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

R0 Resection Rate

The proportion of patients whose postoperative pathological evaluation shows no residual tumor cells at all surgical margins (R0) among all patients who underwent surgery after receiving neoadjuvant therapy.

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment for up to 16 weeks
2

Objective Response Rate

Refers to the proportion of patients whose tumors shrink by a certain amount and maintain it for a certain period of time, including cases of CR and PR. The objective response rate is evaluated using the RECIST 1.1. Subjects must have measurable tumor lesions at enrollment, and the efficacy evaluation criteria according to RECIST 1.1 are classified as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD).

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment for up to 16 weeks
3

Disease Control Rate

Refers to the percentage of patients with complete response, partial response, and stable disease maintained for more than 4 weeks among those evaluable for efficacy.

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment for up to 16 weeks
4

Recurrence Free Survival

Recurrence-free survival (RFS) refers to the time interval from the date of surgery following neoadjuvant therapy to the recurrence of the tumor (including local/regional recurrence or distant metastasis) or death from any cause.

Time frame
From the date of surgery at week 18 to the recurrence of the tumor or death for up to 96 weeks.
