About This Trial

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant digestive system tumor with a very poor prognosis. In recent years, both the incidence and mortality rates of pancreatic cancer have shown a marked upward trend worldwide. Global cancer statistics from 2020 indicate that approximately 495,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer are diagnosed annually, with about 466,000 deaths attributed to this disease each year. Based on the anatomical relationship between the tumor and blood vessels, pancreatic cancer is classified into three types: resectable, borderline resectable, and unresectable. The onset of pancreatic cancer is often insidious, with approximately 80% of patients presenting with advanced disease at the time of initial diagnosis, thereby losing the opportunity for radical surgical resection. Only 15-20% of patients are eligible for radical surgery at the time of initial diagnosis. However, even after surgical resection, many patients still experience early recurrence, leading to a very poor prognosis. This highlights the significant limitations of relying solely on surgery for disease control. Currently, there is no standard neoadjuvant treatment protocol for pancreatic cancer. Recent neoadjuvant clinical trials have primarily referenced chemotherapy regimens used for advanced pancreatic cancer, which may include chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Recommended chemotherapy regimens include the FOLFIRINOX regimen, gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine plus cisplatin (for BRCA1/2 mutations), and gemcitabine plus S-1. At the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting, updated data from the NAPOLI-3 study showed that the NALIRIFOX regimen (irinotecan liposome, oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin) achieved overall survival (OS) endpoints in first-line treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer patients compared to the AG regimen, with clinical significance. Based on this study, the NCCN guidelines have included the NALIRIFOX regimen as a recommended first-line treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer. Given the therapeutic and safety advantages of irinotecan liposome over irinotecan in pancreatic cancer, this study aims to further explore the efficacy and safety of irinotecan liposome, 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and adabelimab combined with radiotherapy for resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer with high-risk factors. The goal is to identify a more effective treatment option for patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) and resectable pancreatic cancer (RPC), thereby improving survival outcomes. This study is a prospective, single-arm, exploratory trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of irinotecan liposome, 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and adabelimab combined with radiotherapy for resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer with high-risk factors, with a planned enrollment of 37 patients. After screening and meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, eligible patients will provide informed consent and undergo neoadjuvant treatment with irinotecan liposome, 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and adabelimab (with a 2-week cycle) for a total of four cycles of preoperative chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy, along with five sessions of short-course radiotherapy.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Pancreatic Cancer and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 37 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

(According to the 2022 edition of the CSCO guidelines, high-risk factors are defined as "very high CA19-9, large primary tumor, massive regional lymph node metastasis, significant weight loss, and severe pain." In this study, high-risk factors are defined as "CA199 \> 200 U/mL, maximum tumor diameter \> 2 cm, N1 or higher.") 3.
