Brief Summary:

RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as MDX-010, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well MDX-010 works in treating patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pancreatic Cancer Biological: ipilimumab Phase 2

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine clinical response (partial and complete responses) in patients with unresectable stage IV (locally or distantly metastatic) pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 monoclonal antibody (MDX-010).

Secondary

  • Determine whether observed responses correlate with the incidence of autoimmunity in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label study. Patients are stratified according to status of disease (locally vs distantly metastatic).

Patients receive anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 monoclonal antibody (MDX-010) IV over 90 minutes on days 0, 21, 42, and 63. Treatment repeats every 84 days for up to 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with disease progression after achieving a partial response or complete response receive 2 additional courses of therapy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 3 weeks, every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 42-82 patients (21-41 per stratum) will be accrued for this study within 2-4 years.

Drug Information available for: Ipilimumab




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [ Time Frame: From first dose to 3 weeks following the end of the treatment cycle, up to 24 weeks. ]
    Percentage of participants who achieved Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) according to RECIST criteria. Particularly, CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions, while PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease n the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.
