A Phase II Study of Metronomic Capecitabine, Oxaliplatin and UGT1A1 Genotype-directed Irinotecan in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Patients.
This is a single-centre, non-randomized, open label phase II trial to be conducted at the National Cancer Centre, Singapore (NCCS). Patients diagnosed with metastatic PDAC will be eligible to enrol. The investigators hypothesize the anticancer activity of low dose OXIRI (LD-OXIRI) regimen comprising of metronomic oxaliplatin (O) and metronomic capecitabine (xeloda; X) in combination with UGT1A1-directed dosing of irinotecan (IRI) to be a tolerable regimen in patients with advanced PDAC and will lead to a favourable response rate. Patients will be prospectively enrolled in two stages - In stage 1, patients will be recruited and evaluated for response and toxicity. In stage 2, more patients will be recruited for further evaluation of response and toxicity.
‣ The patient must meet all of the inclusion criteria to participate in the study.
• Aged above 21
• Histopathological diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
• Advanced disease not amenable to curative resection (locally advanced or metastatic disease)
• Measureable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria
• Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2
• Adequate hematologic function (granulocyte count ≥ 1.5 × 10\*\*9/L, platelet count ≥ 100 × 10\*\*9/L),
• Adequate hepatic function (total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x the upper limits of normal \[ULN\], AST and ALT, ALP ≤ 3 x ULN or \< 5 x ULN in case of hepatic involvement),
• Adequate renal function (creatinine clearance \> 50 mL/min) will be eligible for inclusion into the study.
