PhaseTypeStatusAgeSponsorProtocol IDs
Phase IIIBiomarker/Laboratory analysis, TreatmentActive18 and overNCIRTOG-0848
RTOG 0848, NCT01013649

Special Category: CTSU trial

Objectives

Primary

  1. To determine whether the addition of erlotinib hydrochloride to adjuvant chemotherapy comprising gemcitabine hydrochloride improves survival as compared to gemcitabine hydrochloride alone following R0 or R1 resection in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
  2. To determine whether the use of concurrent fluoropyrimidine and radiotherapy following adjuvant gemcitabine hydrochloride-based chemotherapy further enhances survival of patients who have no evidence of progressive disease after 5 courses of gemcitabine hydrochloride-based chemotherapy.

Secondary

  1. To evaluate the disease-free survival of patients who are disease-free after 5 courses of adjuvant gemcitabine hydrochloride-based chemotherapy followed by fluoropyrimidine-based chemoradiotherapy.
  2. To evaluate the disease-free survival of patients treated with adjuvant gemcitabine hydrochloride-based chemotherapy with vs without erlotinib hydrochloride.
  3. To evaluate the disease-free and overall survival of patients stratified by wild-type and K-Ras status treated with adjuvant gemcitabine hydrochloride-based chemotherapy with vs without erlotinib hydrochloride.
  4. To evaluate adverse events associated with adjuvant gemcitabine hydrochloride-based chemotherapy with vs without erlotinib hydrochloride in these patients.
  5. To evaluate adverse events associated with adjuvant gemcitabine hydrochloride-based chemotherapy with vs without fluoropyrimidine-based chemoradiotherapy in patients who are disease-free after adjuvant gemcitabine hydrochloride-based chemotherapy.
  6. To evaluate preoperative cross-sectional imaging of primary adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas in order to determine the frequency with which objective criteria of resectability are present.
  7. To determine the predictive roles of K-Ras mutations and epithelial to mesenchymal transition phenotype in response to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibition in early-stage pancreatic cancer.
  8. To determine the frequency of EGFR-activated pathway and its influence on outcome.
  9. To determine the association between developmental molecular markers and outcome.
  10. To determine the phenotype and genotype of tumors in patients with recurrence after resection.
  11. To determine if low baseline fatigue, as measured by the FACIT-Fatigue, predicts survival.
  12. To explore correlations between baseline fatigue, as measured by PROMIS, and survival.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed primary adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head, neck, or uncinate process
    • Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm or invasive adenocarcinoma allowed
    • No non-adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, islet cell (neuroendocrine) tumor, cystadenoma, cystadenocarcinoma, carcinoid tumor, duodenal carcinoma, distal bile duct tumor, or ampullary carcinoma

  • Pathologic stage T1-3, N0-1, M0 disease according to AJCC 6th edition

  • Has undergone a potentially curative resection (i.e., removal of all gross tumor) involving a classic (Whipple) or a pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy within the past 21-56 days
    • Operative report must contain a statement from the surgeon explicitly detailing that a total gross excision of the primary tumor was achieved
    • Pathology report must include documentation of margin status, size of the tumor, and status of the 3 major surgical margins (bile duct, pancreatic parenchyma, and retroperitoneal [uncinate])

  • Post-resection serum CA19-9 ≤ 180 IU/L

  • No prior systemic chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer
    • Prior chemotherapy for a different cancer allowed
  • No prior total pancreatectomy, distal pancreatectomy, or central pancreatectomy

  • Total oral caloric intake ≥ 1,500 calories/day
  • No significant nausea and vomiting
  • None of the following severe active comorbidities that would preclude study therapy:
    • Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the past 6 months
    • Transmural myocardial infarction within the past 3 months
    • Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring IV antibiotics
    • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy
  • No other invasive malignancies within the past 2 years except for nonmelanomatous skin cancer or carcinoma in situ

Expected Enrollment

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Overall survival of patients treated with gemcitabine hydrochloride with vs without erlotinib hydrochloride (first randomization)
Overall survival of patients treated with chemotherapy with vs without radiotherapy (second randomization)

Secondary Outcome(s)

Disease-free survival
Adverse events
Frequency of objective criteria of resectability as measured by preoperative imaging
Quality of life as measured by fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue and PROMIS-derived short form)
Laboratory correlative studies related to K-Ras in patients treated with gemcitabine hydrochloride with vs without erlotinib hydrochloride (first randomization)

Outline

This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to nodal status (involved vs uninvolved), CA19-9 result (≤ 90 IU/L vs 91-180 IU/L), and surgical margins (positive [R1] vs negative [R0]). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 5 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Arm II: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride as in arm I and oral erlotinib hydrochloride once daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 5 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients with no disease progression after treatment in arm I or II are then stratified according to their first randomization treatment arm (arm I vs arm II) and randomized to 1 of 2 additional treatment arms (arm III or IV).

  • Arm III: Patients receive 1 course of the same treatment that they receive in arm I or II.

  • Arm IV: Patients receive 1 course of the same treatment that they receive in arm I or II. Beginning within 7-21 days after completion of chemotherapy, patients undergo radiotherapy (3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy or intensity-modulated radiotherapy) 5 days per week for 5½ weeks (28 fractions). During radiotherapy, patients receive either oral capecitabine twice daily 5 days per week or fluorouracil IV continuously for 5½ weeks or until radiotherapy is completed.

Patients complete a quality-of-life questionnaires (FACIT-Fatigue and PROMIS) at baseline, after completion of treatment in arm I or II, and at 9, 12, and 24 months.

Tumor tissue and peripheral blood samples are collected for biomarker and other correlative laboratory studies. Urine samples may also be collected and studied in the laboratory.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
