Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Combination of modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) with durvalumab (MEDI4736) in patients with resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma in the neo-adjuvant setting;
Prior to surgery, eligible patients will receive 6 cycles of mFOLFIRINOX every 2 weeks given as follows:
- Oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 intravenously on day 1
- Irinotecan 150mg/m2 intravenously on day 1
- Calcium folinate (leucovorin) 50mgas an intravenous bolus
- Fluorouracil 2400mg/m2 by continuous infusion via pump over 46 hours starting on day 1
- Pegylated G-CSF 6mg by subcutaneous injection to be given on day 3 of each cycle.
Patients will also receive 3 cycles of durvalumab (MEDI4736) every 4 weeks given as follows:
- Durvalumab 1500mg intravenously on day 1, with cycle 1, day 1 durvalumab treatment coinciding with cycle 1, day 1 of mFOLFIRINOX (ie. repeated on day 1 of cycle 3 and cycle 5 of mFOLFIRINOX.
After completion of neoadjuvant therapy, all patients will be reviewed at the local multidisciplinary meeting (MDM) to determine resectability of the primary tumour.
Curative surgery should be planned to take place within 6-8 weeks following the final dose of neoadjuvant therapy, with standard preoperative assessments to determine suitability.
Adjuvant (post-surgery) chemotherapy will start within 8-12 weeks of surgery and consist of 6 cycles of mFOLFIRINOX administered in the say way as that administered prior to surgery. There will be no adjuvant durvalumab.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 330523 0
Proportion of participants receiving at least 80% of planned doses of neoadjuvant therapy, assessed by accessing patient electronic medical record.
Timepoint [1] 330523 0
At completion of neo-adjuvant treatment (at 3 months post enrolment) and prior to assessing suitability for surgery
Secondary outcome [1] 406521 0
Proportion of patients who missed surgery due to significant treatment related adverse events, assessed by review of patient medical records.
Timepoint [1] 406521 0

Secondary outcome [2] 407046 0
Treatment related adverse events (eg. immune related side effects such as lung, liver, kidney inflammation) assessed by patient review and clinical examination and review of medical records, blood test and CT scan results.
Timepoint [2] 407046 0
Every 2 weeks during neo-adjuvant treatment, at the completion of treatment (at 3 months post enrolment) and 30 to 42 days after the last dose of immunotherapy and every 12 weeks weeks after surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for 12 months.

Statistical methods / analysis
This is a pilot study with a feasibility endpoint.
All analyses will include all patients who received at least 1 cycle of treatment. Summary statistics will be undertaken using descriptive methods as appropriate for relevant endpoints. No interim analysis is planned.
With a sample size of 20, aiming for at least 13 patients to receive at least 80% of planned treatment dose provides over 80% power to distinguish a 65% treatment completion rate from a 30% treatment completion rate at the 5% significance level using the binomial test.
If more than 13 patients receive at least 80% of planned treatment dose, the pilot study will be considered feasible.
