Study Summary
This trial is studying gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, durvalumab, and oleclumab to see how well they work in treating patients with resectable/borderline resectable primary pancreatic cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma who haven't had cancer treatment before. They must be able to follow the study plan, have good organ function, and a life expectancy of at least 6 months. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals can't join, nor those with certain health conditions like autoimmune diseases, recent major surgery, or active infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if combining chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) with immunotherapy antibodies (durvalumab and oleclumab) before surgery can help treat pancreatic cancer. It's a phase II study to see how these treatments affect tumor growth by killing cells or boosting the immune system.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions from the immune system affecting organs, infusion-related reactions from antibody treatments, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, liver enzyme alterations indicating potential liver damage, fatigue and digestive issues.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (durvalumab, oleclumab, nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive durvalumab IV over 1 hour on day 1, oleclumab IV over 1 hour, nab-paclitaxel IV, and gemcitabine IV over 1 hour over 30-40 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2-6 cycles. Within 4-8 weeks after completion of last cycle of treatment, patients undergo surgical resection. After surgical resection, patient may receive adjuvant therapy with durvalumab and oleclumab, durvalumab, oleclumab, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel, other chemotherapy, or observation only at the discretion of the treating physician.

What are the primary indications for Nab-paclitaxel?
"Nab-paclitaxel can be used to treat aggressive forms of lung and bladder cancer that have metastasized."
Answered by AI
How many volunteers will be included in this research project?
"That is accurate. The most recent information available on clinicaltrials.gov suggests that this study is still actively recruiting patients. This specific trial was first posted on September 28th, 2021 and last updated on October 12th, 2022. So far, 30 individuals have been enrolled at a single location."

"The clinical trial is still recruiting patients, as indicated by the most recent update on October 12th, 2022. The study was first posted September 28th, 2021."
Answered by AI
What is the maximum dosage of Nab-paclitaxel that a person can take without experiencing any adverse effects?
"Nab-paclitaxel has received a score of 2 from our Power team. This is due to the fact that, while there are Phase 2 trials supporting its safety, none have been done to test for efficacy."
Answered by AI
Can you tell me if there is a history of using Nab-paclitaxel in medical research?
"Nab-paclitaxel is being trialled in 1472 different ongoing investigations, with 368 of them being Phase 3 trials. Nab-paclitaxel's clinical trials are located all around the world, with 68376 sites running active trials."
