Brief Title: SBRT and Anti-programmed Cell Death Protein 1(Anti-PD-1) in Late Stage or Recurrent Pancreatic Cancer Patients
Official Title: Study on the Safety and Therapeutic Effect of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy and Anti-PD-1 Antibody in Late Stage or Recurrent Pancreatic Cancer Patients Who Failed in Second-line Chemotherapy
Study ID: NCT03716596
Brief Summary: When gemcitabine based chemo and fluorouracil based chemo regimes are failed in late-stage or recurrent pancreatic cancer patients, there is no alternative options. Anti-PD-1 antibody has became a promising anti-cancer drug. While it showed limited efficacy in pancreatic cancer. Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy has been a new method to locally treat metastatic cancer. This study is aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of SBRT and anti-PD-1 antibody in late-stage or recurrent pancreatic caner who failed in second-line chemotherapy.
Detailed Description: Pancreatic cancer is a kind of cancer with poor prognosis. Nowadays, recommended treatment for late-stage or recurrent pancreatic cancer patients are fluorouracil based chemotherapy (such as FOLFIRINOX) and gemcitabine based chemotherapy. When these two chemo regimes are failed, however, there is no alternative options. With the improvement of immune therapy, anti-PD-1 antibody has became a promising anti-cancer drug. While it showed limited efficacy in pancreatic cancer. Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) has been a new method to locally treat metastatic cancer. And previous studies showed that SBRT may enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy. So this study is amed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of SBRT and anti-PD-1 antibody in late-stage or recurrent pancreatic caner who failed in second-line chemotherapy.
