261 Background: We conducted chemoradiotherapy of gemcitabine plus S-1, key drugs for pancreatic cancer. Methods: Patients were eligible for the study if they had received a histopathological diagnosis of locally advanced pancreatic cancer and were diagnosed as unresectable by multiple clinicians including surgeons due to main arterial invasions and more. Radiation (RT) was perfomed for twenty-eight days continuously except Saturday, Sunday and National holiday in 1.8Gy once daily (total 50.4Gy). PTV was defined as GTV plus 10-15mm. Prophylactic irradiation to regional lymph nodes was not performed. Administration level of the anti-cancer drugs was referred to the following table. Results: A total of fifteen cases were enrolled to the phase I study from February, 2006 through May, 2007. RT was achieved in 13 of 15 cases (87%). Two cases of DLT occurred in level 2 (two cases of emesis) while three did in level 3 (one case of emesis and two of neutropenia of grade 4). We decided level 3 as MTD and level 2 as recommended dose. The overall response rate (more than PR) was 33.3% (5 in 15 cases) and tumor-control (more than SD) was achieved in 13 of 15 cases (87%). The one-year and two-year survival rate was 86.7% and 44.4%, respectively. Conclusions: We conducted the phase 1 study of chemoradiotherapy with two key drugs of pancreatic cancer and achieved the recommended dose in this phase I study. Ongoing study We have already finished the enrollment of 110 cases for a phase II randomized allocated study, comparing the chemoradiotherapy of administration dose decided in this phase 1 study with the combination therapy of gemcitabine plus S-1. Now we are carefully following the patients to compare two-year survival rate as a primary endpoint in phase II study. Clinical trial information: NCT01430052.

475 Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most difficult cancers to treat. Over 90% of cases, they are UR-LAPC or metastatic PC (mPC) at the first time of diagnosis. To prolong survival time, radiation therapy is considered to be promising with strong local control. Some papers reported that RT with 5-FU is effective to LAPC, but they are far from standard regimen. Gemcitabine (Gem) has enhancing effect of sensibility to RT. Gem and nab-paclitaxel (G+NP) showed priority compared with Gem monotherapy in mPC patients with Phase III study. So, we performed Phase I study to decide recommended dose of G+NP when we administer for concurrent CRT in URPC patients. Methods: From Aug 2013, we have registered patients who were examined as UR-LAPC because of cancer invasion to major artery. Dose of G+NP are classified by each level. At Level 1, Gem 600mg/m2 and NP 50mg/m2. At Level 2, Gem 600mg/m2 and NP 75mg/m2. At Level 3, Gem 600mg/m2 and NP 100mg/m2. At each level, patients accepted RT (50.4Gy/28fr). During performing RT period, we prescribed G + NP weekly. So, G+NP are prescribed 4-5 times if pts accomplish the study.We evaluate effectiveness and side effect of the regimen, and try to decide maximum tolerated dose. Results: Until July 2014, 14 pts (11 males and 3 females) have been registered in this trial. 6 cases were performed at Level 1, 7cases at Level 2, 1 cases at Level 3. 13 cases accomplish the prescription. 1 case at Level 1 dropped out because the patient suffered liver abscess. Effectiveness of the regimen is as follows; 4cases are PD (progressive disease), 6cases are SD (stable disease), and 2cases are PR (partial response). Conclusions: Now we prescribe the regimen at Level 3. We have not yet decided MDT. But, CRT with G + NP may be promising regimen for LAPC. When we accumulate more cases, and decide MDT, we will report later. Clinical trial information: UMIN000012254.

258 Background: FOLFIRINOX improves survival in advanced pancreatic cancer, however the contribution of irinotecan is uncertain. The addition of irinotecan to gemcitabine was not superior to gemcitabine alone in pancreatic cancer, however nab-P demonstrates a survival benefit. This phase I study was designed to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the addition of nab-P to fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FOLFOX-A). Methods: Patients with metastatic or locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma without prior treatment received oxaliplatin, 85 mg/m2, leucovorin 400 mg/m2 and 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 with 3 dose levels of nab-P (125, 150 and 175 mg/m2) every 2 weeks. Pegfilgrastim was required during the first 2 cycles. Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were defined in the first 2 cycles of treatment. Results: Fifteen patients were entered: Dose level 1 (n=6), dose level 2 (N=6), dose level 3 (N=3). The median age was 64 (35-81). Ten patients had metastatic and 5 had locally advanced disease. DLTs of nausea and fatigue occurred in 2 of 3 patients at dose level 3. Two patients developed grade 3 neuropathy after >= 10 cycles of treatment. One patient had grade 3/4 neutropenia. Eight of fifteen patients (53%) had a partial response. Conclusions: The MTD of nab-P is 150mg/m2 every 2 weeks with FOLFOX. Cumulative peripheral neuropathy, similar to other FOLFOX regimens, is the most significant toxicity generally occurring after >= 10 cycles of treatment. FOLFOX-A has substantial activity and may represent a promising regimen in pancreatic cancer. Patients are currently being accrued to an expansion phase utilizing dose level 2. Supported by the Davis and Browning families and LIFEcycle. Clinical trial information: NCT01744353.

15058 Background: Imexon for inj. (Amplimexon®, AMP) is an aziridine-containing iminopyrrolidone which causes G2 arrest, accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and induction of apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells. AMP demonstrated synergy with gemcitabine (GEM) in preclinical pancreatic cancer models. This phase I study of AMP plus GEM was undertaken to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLT). Secondary endpoints were pharmacokinetics for both agents (PK) and tumor response. Methods: Patients (pts) with previously untreated advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma received one of two dosing regimens. The first 19 received 30 minute AMP IV days 1–5 and 15–19 followed by 30 minute GEM IV days 1, 8 and 15 Q4 wks (Regimen A). Dosing was modified after 19 pts to administer both AMP and GEM over 30 minutes days 1, 8 and 15 every 4 weeks (Regimen B). Dose levels (AMP/GEM, in mg/m2) for Regimen A: 200/800, 280/800, 200/1000, and 280/1000, and for Regimen B: 280/1000, 335/1000, 390/1000, 540/1000, and 750/1000. The current cohort is 1000/1000. Pts were assessed for response after cycles 2, 5 and 8. PK and pharmacodynamic (plasma thiol depletion) measurements were obtained during cycle one. Results: Forty-six pts have been treated to date, with 36 having complete toxicity data and evaluable. Pt characteristics: M/F (24/12), Age (mean 60.4 years, range 43–75), ECOG PS 0/1 (56%, 44%), metastatic/locally advanced (91%, 9%). The 36 pts have completed 122.5 cycles of therapy (median 2, range 0.5–12). Common toxicities: anemia (77%), fatigue (71%), nausea (60%), fever (54%), and leukopenia (54%). DLT were 1/6 at 280/1000 (Regimen A - febrile neutropenia), 1/6 at 280/1000 (Regimen B - gr 3 hypotension, gr 4 renal failure), and 1/9 at 390/1000 (gr 3 hyperbilirubinemia). Accrual continues at 1000/1000. Of 36 pts, 4 have had partial responses and 14 stable disease. PK and plasma thiol analysis are ongoing. Conclusions: Imexon can be administered safely with full dose gemcitabine. Accrual continues to define the combination MTD. The response rate in this phase I study compares favorably with historical gemcitabine monotherapy, and further phase II evaluation of this combination in advanced pancreatic cancer is warranted.
