Summary

This is a prospective, open-label, single arm clinical study. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine combined with nimotuzumab sequential irreversible electroporation ablation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The main endpoint is overall survival (OS).

Detailed description

This clinical study is designed as a prospective, open-label, single arm study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine combined with nimotuzumab sequential irreversible electroporation ablation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. This study is divided into two stages: in stage I, all patients will receive 4 cycles of nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine (AG regimen, 3 weeks as a cycle) and nimotuzumab. Imaging reexamination will be conducted 12 weeks later. In stage II, patients who are without disease progression (PD) will receive irreversible electroporation ablation and at least 3 cycles of adjuvant treatment (AG and nimotuzumab). If the imaging evaluation shows disease progression (PD), then the subsequent treatment will be changed to the standard treatment in hospital. The main endpoint is overall survival (OS). Additional end points included progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), safety, etc.
