Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Major surgery, excluding laparoscopy, within 4 weeks of the start of study treatment, without complete recovery
Other illness
- Evidence of disease progression or distant metastases.
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- An active infection requiring systemic therapy
- Other serious medical conditions that the investigator feels might compromise study participation
Other
- Pregnant or lactating women
- Treatment for other invasive carcinomas within the last five years who are at greater than 5% risk of recurrence at time of eligibility screening. Carcinoma in-situ and basal cell carcinoma/ squamous cell carcinoma of the skin are allowed.
Who the study is looking for
- Age ≥ 18 years
- ECOG Performance Status 0-1
- Previous completion of at least three (3) months of EITHER gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel OR FOLFIRINOX (5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, irinotecan and leucovorin)
- Previous completion of either stereotactic-body radiation therapy (SBRT) (minimum 24 Gy) or external beam irradiation (EBRT) (minimum 45 Gy)
- Participation in any investigational drug study within 4 weeks preceding the start of study treatment is PERMITTED.
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use appropriate method(s) of contraception. WOCBP should use an adequate method to avoid pregnancy for 5 months after IORT.
- Men who are sexually active with WOCBP must use any contraceptive method with a failure rate of less than 1% per year. Men receiving nivolumab and who are sexually active with WOCBP will be instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 7 months after IORT. Women who are not of childbearing potential, i.e., who are postmenopausal or surgically sterile as well as azoospermic men do not require contraception.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
