Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination therapy for pancreatic cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with pancreatic cancer that's locally advanced or borderline resectable, who've had FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy for 3-6 months without disease progression. They must have good organ function and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Men and women must agree to contraception, and no recent other cancers or treatments outside the protocol are allowed.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if durvalumab combined with SABR (a type of targeted radiation therapy) is effective in treating pancreatic cancer. Durvalumab is an immunotherapy drug designed to help the immune system attack cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Durvalumab may cause immune-related side effects like inflammation in various organs, fatigue, skin reactions, hormonal changes, flu-like symptoms, and potential infusion-related reactions. The radiation could cause localized pain or discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

To what extent has this investigation been implemented in healthcare centers?

"Eight medical centres are currently enrolling patients in this trial. These include Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (All Protocol Activities) located in New york, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center based in Los Angeles, and Memoral Sloan Kettering Westchester (All Protocol Activities) situated Harrison; as well as other sites scattered around the United States of America."

Answered by AI

What objectives is this experiment striving to accomplish?

"AstraZeneca, the trial sponsor, has reported that Progression Free Survival (Phase II) over one year will be the main objective. Additionally, measurable secondary outcomes such as changes in protein levels from baseline and inflammatory cytokines measured by serum analysis are also being assessed. Furthermore, an evaluation of how microbiome alterations correlate with treatment is underway via stool sample examination."

Answered by AI

What is the current capacity for recruitment into this investigation?

"Unfortunately, this clinical trial has already concluded its participant recruitment period. First posted on August 14th 2020 and last updated on August 11th 2022; anyone seeking to join a similar medical study should instead look at the 787 studies actively enrolling patients with adenocarcinoma or the 333 trials for Durvalumab admitting participants."

Answered by AI

Has Durvalumab been previously investigated in any other research projects?

"Durvalumab was initially studied at City of Hope in 2010, resulting in 106 completed clinical trials. Currently, 333 more are taking place across the United States with many located in New york City."

Answered by AI

In what contexts is Durvalumab typically prescribed?

"Durvalumab is a popular treatment for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer, and it has also been used to effectively address metastatic urothelial carcinoma and advanced directives."

Answered by AI

Is there still an opportunity for participants to join this research endeavor?

"Based on the clinicaltrials.gov database, this medical study is not currently seeking new candidates - its last update was 8/11/2022. However, there are 1120 other trials that have open enrolment at present."
