Efficacy of Gembrax Followed by Folfirinox Versus Folfirinox Alone in First Metastatic Line Pancreatic Cancer Patients

Recruiting now · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

In brief

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of sequential treatment (Gabrinox) comprising Gembrax regimen (Gemcitabine -Abraxane) followed by the Folfirinox regimen (5FU, Oxaliplatin and Irinotecan) compared to folfirinox alone in patients treated in first metastatic line pancreatic cancer

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 75. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

Male or female aged 18 to 75 on the date the consent is signed.
Histologically or cytologically proven metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The definitive diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma metastases will be made by integrating the histopathological data in the context of the radiological data.
One or more metastatic lesion (s) measurable (Recist 1.1) by Thoraco-Abdomino-Pelvic scanner (or hepatic MRI and Thoraco-Abdomino-Pelvic scanner not injected, if the patient is allergic to the product of contrast).
Previous treatment (including radiochemotherapy) for the non-metastatic disease authorized if a delay ≥ 6 months between the last treatment and the recurrence is respected.
WHO performance status ≤ 1
Uracilemia <16 ng / ml
Acceptable hematological assessment at inclusion (obtained within 14 days before the start of treatment) defined by: • Neutrophils ≥ 2 × 109 / L; • Platelets ≥ 100,000 / mm3 (100 × 109 / L); • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g / dl.
Acceptable renal and hepatic function at inclusion (obtained within 14 days before the start of treatment) defined by: • AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of the norm (ULN), unless liver metastases are present in this case AST and ALT ≤ 5 × ULN is allowed; • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN; • Serum creatinine within the norm limits or calculated clearance ≥ 50ml / min for patients with a serum creatinine value above or below the norm values (clearance calculated by the CKD-EPI formula).
Calcemia AND magnesemia AND kalaemia ≥ LLN and ≤ 1.2 x ULN
If the patient is sexually active, he must agree to use contraception deemed adequate and appropriate by the investigator throughout the period of administration of the study drug and up to 6 months after discontinuation of treatment for women and for men.
Signature of consent before any procedure specific to the study.
Affiliated with the French national social security.

You may not qualify if…

Known brain metastasis.
Previous treatment with radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy or experimental therapy for the treatment of metastatic disease.

Treatment with brivudine within 4 weeks before or after treatment with 5-fluorouracil (due to a potentially fatal interaction).
Active and uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections requiring systemic treatment.
Active HIV infection, known hepatitis B or C infection.
History of peripheral arterial disease (e.g., claudication, Buerger's disease), chronic inflammatory bowel disease or rectal disease, pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial pneumonia.
Administration of a live attenuated vaccine within 10 days before inclusion and up to 6 months post-treatment.
