A phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of liposomal irinotecan in combination with oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil for patients with locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma: Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium BTCRC-GI15-067

Overview

The purpose of this voluntary research study is to see if using four drugs called liposomal irinotecan, 5FU, leucovorin and oxaliplatin as a first line treatment can improve outcomes for patients with locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma (pancreatic cancer).

Description

Participants will begin with screening, to include: medical history review, physical exam, ECG, blood tests, radiology imaging. During visit 1, participants will then repeat physical exam, questionnaire, and blood tests, as well as tissue collection and infusions of FOLFOX and liposomal irinotecan. Participants will take the infusion pump home, wear it for 2 days, and then return to IU Health to have the pump removed.
Participants will repeat a physical exam every 2 weeks, blood tests every 4 weeks, and radiology imaging every 8 weeks. Participants will take study drugs until cancer can be removed by surgery, cancer gets worse, or they have severe side effects. Approximately 1 month after finishing study drugs, participants will complete a questionnaire, blood tests, and physical exam.
