Ductal Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the new administration regimen of VCN-01, given together with the standard chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (GnP), is safe and well tolerated. The behaviour of VCN-01 in the organism will be assessed, together with the possible benefits of this administration regimen. This study includes adults with newly diagnosed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that has spread to other parts of the body (stage IV) and who have not received prior treatment for pancreatic cancer. Participants will receive three planned doses of VCN-01, given once every 56 days. Each dose of VCN-01 is followed one week later by two cycles of standard chemotherapy with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Participants will be monitored throughout the study for safety and side effects.

This research study is being done to help determine the safety and efficacy of gadolinium based nanoparticle, Activation and Guidance of Irradiation X (AGuIX), used in conjunction with MR-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in the treatment of pancreatic cancer and lung tumors.
