Authorised Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II) metastatic pancreatic cancer

A randomized phase II study of second line treatment with liposomal irinotecan and S1 versus liposomal irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who failed on first line gemcitabine-based chemotherapy

EU CTIS ID: 2023-509463-24-01

What this study is testing

To determine the progression free survival (PFS) benefit of nal-IRI combined with S-1, compared with nal-IRI combined with 5-FU/LV, in subjects pre-treated with gemcitabine based chemotherapy for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, or progression within 6 months of adjuvant gemcitabine treatment.

  • Adequate hepatic (serum bilirubin total between 0-17 μmol/L, AST between 0-40 U/L, ALT between 0-34 U/L, renal (creatinine between 65-95 μmol/L) and hematological (hemoglobin between 7.5-10 mmol/L, platelets between 150-400 10E9/L, leukocytes between 4.0-10.5 10E9/L) function

You likely can't join if

  • Known hypersensitivity to any of the components of liposomal irinotecan (Nal-IRI) other liposomal irinotecan formulations, irinotecan, fluoropyrimidines, or leucovorin.
  • Hypersensitivity to any of the active substances (tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil)
  • Previous treatment with fluoropyrimidine therapy
