Abstract

Introduction: The dismal prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) highlights the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) seem to be ineffective in most PDAC studies. Therefore, we conducted an open-label, multicenter phase 1/2 study (CA209-9KH) to evaluate the safety of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and sequential ICI therapy in PDAC, as well as to validate the efficacy of this regimen as a potential activator of antitumor immunity.

Methods: Patients aged ≥ 18 years with unresectable non-metastatic PDAC following four FOLFIRINOX induction cycles were included. Treatment comprised SRT (4 × 8 Gy) and sequential nivolumab administration until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoints were safety and toxicity assessment. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), biomarker evaluation, and quality of life (QoL) analysis.

Results: Twenty-two patients were screened, with 15 enrolled. Eleven (median) nivolumab cycles were administered. SRT demonstrated low and clinically nonsignificant toxicity, whereas nivolumab toxicity aligned with prior safety profiles, without grade 4-5 events observed. Three patients discontinued therapy owing to toxicity. Median PFS and OS were 8.1 and 13.0 months, respectively, with 12-month PFS and OS rates of 0% and 66.7%, respectively, and a 24-month OS rate of 8.9%. Biomarker levels correlated with clinical or radiological disease control. Patient-reported QoL remained acceptable, deteriorating with disease progression.

Conclusion: SRT and nivolumab therapy exhibited manageable toxicity profiles consistent with previous findings; however, long-term treatment responses were not achieved with this regimen in locally advanced PDAC. Another strategy to trigger antitumor immunity in PDAC needs to be sought.

局部晚期胰腺癌患者的立体定向放疗加 Nivolumab：CA209-9KH 1/2期临床试验结果。

简介：胰腺导管腺癌（PDAC）的预后不佳凸显了对新型治疗策略的迫切需求。在大多数 PDAC 研究中，免疫检查点抑制剂（ICIs）似乎效果不佳。因此，我们开展了一项开放标签、多中心1/2期研究（CA209-9KH），以评估立体定向放射治疗（SRT）和序贯ICI治疗在PDAC中的安全性，并验证该方案作为抗肿瘤免疫潜在激活剂的疗效：方法：纳入年龄≥ 18 岁、经过四个 FOLFIRINOX 诱导周期治疗后仍无法切除的非转移性 PDAC 患者。治疗包括 SRT（4 × 8 Gy）和连续使用 nivolumab，直至疾病进展或出现不可接受的毒性。主要终点是安全性和毒性评估。次要终点包括无进展生存期（PFS）、总生存期（OS）、生物标志物评估和生活质量（QoL）分析：共筛选出 22 例患者，其中 15 例入组。共进行了 11 个 nivolumab 周期（中位数）的治疗。SRT显示出较低且无临床意义的毒性，而nivolumab的毒性与之前的安全性概况一致，未观察到4-5级事件。三名患者因毒性而中断治疗。中位 PFS 和 OS 分别为 8.1 个月和 13.0 个月，12 个月的 PFS 和 OS 率分别为 0% 和 66.7%，24 个月的 OS 率为 8.9%。生物标志物水平与临床或放射学疾病控制相关。患者报告的生活质量仍可接受，但随疾病进展而恶化：SRT和nivolumab疗法表现出可控的毒性，这与之前的研究结果一致；然而，在局部晚期PDAC患者中，该疗法并未取得长期治疗效果。需要寻找另一种策略来触发PDAC的抗肿瘤免疫：试验注册：EudraCT：2017-003404-52；ClinicalTrials.gov：NCT04098432。

期刊介绍： Now indexed in PubMed Aims and Scope Oncology and Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality pre-clinical, clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged. The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Oncology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research. Rapid Publication The journal’s rapid publication timelines aim for a peer review decision within 2 weeks of submission. If an article is accepted it will be published online 3-4 weeks from acceptance. These rapid timelines are achieved through the combination of a dedicated in-house editorial team, who closely manage article workflow, and an extensive Editorial and Advisory Board who assist with rapid peer review. This allows the journal to support the rapid dissemination of research, whilst still providing robust peer review. Combined with the journal’s open access model this allows for the rapid and efficient communication of the latest research and reviews, allowing the advancement of clinical therapies. Personal Service The journal’s dedicated in-house editorial team offer a personal “concierge service” meaning that authors will always have a personal point of contact able to update them on the status of their manuscript. The editorial team check all manuscripts to ensure that articles conform to the most recent COPE, GPP and ICMJE publishing guidelines. This supports the publication of ethically sound and transparent research. We also encourage pre-submission enquiries and are always happy to provide a confidential assessment of manuscripts. Digital features and plain language summaries Oncology and Therapy offers a range of additional features designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. Each article is accompanied by key summary points, giving a time-efficient overview of the content to a wide readership. Articles may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand the scientific content and overall implications of the article. The journal also provides the option to include various types of digital features including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations. All additional features are peer reviewed to the same high standard as the article itself. If you consider that your paper would benefit from the inclusion of a digital feature, please let us know. Our editorial team are able to create high-quality slide decks and infographics in-house, and video abstracts through our partner Research Square, and would be happy to assist in any way we can. For further information about digital features, please contact the journal editor (see ‘Contact the Journal’ for email address), and see the ‘Guidelines for digital features and plain language summaries’ document under ‘Submission guidelines’. Preprints We encourage posting of preprints of primary research manuscripts on preprint servers, authors'' or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms. Posting of preprints is not considered prior publication and will not jeopardize consideration in our journals. Please see here for further information on preprint sharing: https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/journal-author/journal-author-helpdesk/submission/1302#c16721550 Peer Review Process Upon submission, manuscripts are assessed by the editorial team to ensure they fit within the aims and scope of the journal and are also checked for plagiarism. All suitable submissions are then subject to a comprehensive single-blind peer review. Reviewers are selected based on their relevant expertise and publication history in the subject area. The journal has an extensive pool of editorial and advisory board members who have been selected to assist with peer review based on the afore-mentioned criteria. At least two extensive reviews are required to make the editorial decision, with the exception of some article types such as Commentaries, Editorials and Letters which are generally reviewed by one member of the Editorial Board. Where reviewer recommendations are conflicted, the editorial board will be contacted for further advice and a presiding decision. Manuscripts are then either accepted, rejected or authors are required to make major or minor revisions (both reviewer comments and editorial comments may need to be addressed). Once a revised manuscript is re-submitted, it is assessed along with the responses to reviewer comments and if it has been adequately revised it will be accepted for publication. Accepted manuscripts are then copyedited and typeset by the production team before online publication. Appeals against decisions following peer review are considered on a case by case basis and should be sent to the journal editor.
