Brief Title: Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Followed by Radiation Therapy and Gemcitabine/Sorafenib/Vorinostat in Pancreatic Cancer
Official Title: A Phase 1 Study of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy, Followed by Concurrent Chemoradiation With Gemcitabine, Sorafenib, and Vorinostat in Pancreatic Cancer
Study ID: NCT02349867
Brief Summary: Determine the doses and schedule appropriate for phase 2 study of sorafenib and vorinostat with concurrent gemcitabine and radiation therapy (RT) as neoadjuvant treatment of pancreatic cancer following chemotherapy. Recommended phase II dose RP2Ds and schedule of sorafenib and vorinostat defined as the doses and schedule that are the same as or less than the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and schedule.
Detailed Description: This is a phase 1 study of concurrent chemoradiation using a regimen of sorafenib and vorinostat with gemcitabine and radiation following chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer to find the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of the concurrent chemoradiation combination. A traditional 3+3 dose-escalation design will be conducted for the sorafenib and vorinostat dose escalation. Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas without distant metastasis that has been treated with ≥ 1 prior therapy (not including radiation) encompassing at least 2 months. Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function. Ability to take oral medication. To determine the doses and schedule appropriate for phase 2 study of sorafenib and vorinostat with concurrent gemcitabine and radiation therapy (RT) as neoadjuvant treatment of pancreatic cancer following chemotherapy.This is a dose-escalation trial employing a standard "3+3" schema of sorafenib and vorinostat.
