Panitumumab + Chemotherapy for Pancreatic Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding panitumumab to standard chemotherapy (with nanoliposomal Irinotecan, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil \[5-FU\] or irinotecan, leucovorin, and 5-FU or nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine) versus standard chemotherapy alone in treating patients with KRAS wild type (WT) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that cannot be removed by sugery (unresectable) or that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Panitumumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Chemotherapy drugs, such as nanoliposomal irinotecan, leucovorin, 5-FU, irinotecan, nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Adding panitumumab to standard chemotherapy may be effective in treating patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic KRAS WT pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Active Control
Patients receive panitumumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15. Patients also receive either nanoliposomal irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 15, leucovorin IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15, and 5-FU IV over 46 hours on days 1-3 and 15-17 or irinotecan IV over 90 minutes, leucovorin IV over 90-120 minutes on days 1 and 15, 5-FU IV bolus over 5-15 minutes on days 1 and 15 and 5FU IV continuous over 46 hours on days 1-3 and 15-17 or nab-paclitaxel IV over 30 minutes, and gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT scan and blood sample collection throughout the study.
