NeoPancOne Trial Summary

This trial will help researchers understand if a certain cancer treatment is effective and how biomarkers can be used to personalize cancer treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that can be surgically removed. They must be fit for surgery and the mFFX chemotherapy, have no prior cancer treatments, and no evidence of metastases or other primary cancers in the last 3 years. Participants need proper liver and blood function, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use contraception if applicable, and provide consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how well patients with resectable pancreatic cancer respond to a chemotherapy regimen called modified Folforinox (mFFX) before and after surgery. It also examines whether GATA6 expression levels can predict treatment outcomes. This Canadian multicentre trial aims to personalize future treatment strategies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, mFFX is an intensive chemotherapy regimen that may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding tendencies, fatigue, neuropathy (nerve damage), and possibly allergic reactions.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
To assess disease free survival (DFS) in resectable PDAC treated with peri-operative mFFX according to baseline GATA6 expression level
Secondary outcome measures
Assess pathological response rate to mFFX in the neoadjuvant setting
Determine GATA6 expression levels in EUS-FNB specimen compared to surgical specimen
Determine GATA6 in-situ hybridization (ISH)/immunohistochemistry (IHC) success rate
