Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with histologically/cytologically confirmed, locally advanced unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, ECOG 0–1, measurable disease, no distant metastasis, and no prior systemic therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer.

Probably not a fit

Patients with rapid disease progression, significant toxicity, or progression during treatment are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase II, single-arm study enrolling adults with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Participants receive stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) at 5–10 Gy in five fractions, followed by systemic therapy with ipilimumab, sintilimab, nab-paclitaxel, and gemcitabine. Ipilimumab is given every 6 weeks for four doses, sintilimab every 3 weeks, and nab-paclitaxel with gemcitabine on a 3-week cycle for 6–8 cycles, with sintilimab potentially continuing as maintenance until progression or intolerance. Primary endpoint is progression-free survival, with secondary endpoints including overall survival, disease control rate, duration of response, objective response rate, and safety.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the regimen could improve control of the cancer and extend survival for patients with locally advanced disease.

How similar studies have gone: Immunotherapy combinations with chemotherapy have shown mixed results in pancreatic cancer; this approach explores a novel combination with SBRT.
