Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Scientific Title

Investigating the safety and efficacy of NEO-adjuvant chemo-IMmunotherapy in PAnCreaTic cancer, NEO-IMPACT.

Cooperative Group

Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Trials Group (AGITG)

Summary

Eligible participants will receive 6 treatment cycles every 2 weeks of combined immuno-chemotherapy (durvalumab with modified FOLFIRINOX). mFOLFIRINOX will be administered as a day patient in hospital, given via intravenous infusion (IV) on day 1 of each cycle. One of the chemotherapy drugs (5-FU) will be given as a continuous infusion over 46 hours via portable pump, so participants will return to hospital on day 3 to have this pump disconnected. Durvalumab will be given via IV on Day 1 of each second cycle. At the end of the 6 treatment cycles, participants will be assessed for their suitability for surgery. After surgery, all participants will then receive an additional 6 treatment cycles of chemotherapy (mFOLFIRINOX) alone.
