Sequential Treatment With GEMBRAX and Then FOLFIRINOX Followed by Stereotactic MRI-guided Radiotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Phase II Study to Assess the Interest of a Sequential Treatment With Gemcitabine/Nab-paclitaxel (GEMBRAX) and Then FOLFIRINOX Followed by Stereotactic Magnetic Resonance-guided Adaptive Radiotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of intensified and sequential chemotherapy (Gabrinox) comprising Gembrax regimen (Gemcitabine-Abraxane) followed by the Folfirinox regimen (5FU, Oxaliplatin and Irinotecan) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The study will also demonstrate the feasibility of combining this intensified chemotherapy with MRI-guided stereotactic radiotherapy in non-progressive patients after the chemotherapy by Gabrinox regimen.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Any previous treatment for pancreatic cancer (e.g. chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, targeted therapy, experimental therapy)
- Prior radiotherapy likely to overlap with the planned study radiotherapy area (e.g. previous abdominal irradiation).
- Contraindication to MRI and MRI-guided radiotherapy
- Any other concomitant and not controlled serious illness or disturbance that may interfere with the patient's participation in the study and safety during the study (e.g. severe liver, kidney, lung, metabolic, or psychiatric disorder)
- Patient who received a attenuated live vaccine in the 10 days before inclusion
- Participation in another clinical study with a research product during the last 30 days before inclusion.
Other illness
- Gilbert's syndrome or homozygous Uridine DiPhosphate Glucuronosyl Transferase 1 A1 (UGT1A1 \* 28)
- Other concomitant cancer or history of cancer, except for treated in situ cancer of the cervix , basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, superficial bladder tumour (Ta, Tis, and T1), or good-prognosis tumour cured without chemotherapy and without signs of disease in the 3 years before inclusion
- Patients with high cardiovascular risk, including, but not limited to, coronary stent or myocardial infarction in the past 6 months.
- History of chronic inflammatory disease of the colon or rectum
- Intolerance or allergy to one of the study drugs (gemcitabine, Nab-paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, 5-FU) or to one of their excipients (e.g. fructose) listed in the Contraindications or Warnings sections and Special precautions of the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) or prescription information
- Active and uncontrolled bacterial or fungal infection that requires systemic treatment.
- Know active HIV infection
- History of peripheral arterial disease (e.g. lameness, Buerger's disease).
- Patient with history of pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial pneumonia.
Lab values
- ECG with QTcorrected (QTc) interval longer than 450 ms for men and longer than 470 ms for women
- Pregnant or breastfeeding woman. Fertile women must have a negative pregnancy test (serum β-hCG) performed 72 hours before inclusion
Other
- Peripheral neuropathy ≥ grade 2
- Legal incapacity (patient under guardianship or wardship)
- Patient using vitamin K antagonists (Coumadin…) (possible modification of the treatment before inclusion)
- Inability to attend the follow-up visits due to geographic, social or mental reasons.
Who the study is looking for
- Patient aged from 18 to 75 years at the date of signature of the consent form
- Histologically or cytologically proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 1
- Non-resectable tumour according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) 1.2015 recommendations after external review of imaging data by multidisciplinary experts.
- Non-metastatic cancer confirmed by thorax-abdomen-pelvis computerized tomography (CT) scan and liver MRI
- SMART feasibility confirmed by centralized review
- Uracilemia \< 16 ng/ml
- Hematological assessment within 14 days before inclusion, defined by:
- Neutrophils ≥ 2 000/mm3 (2 × 109/L);
- Platelets ≥ 100 000/mm3 (100 × 109/L);
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dl
- Liver function (within 14 days before inclusion) defined by:
- ASpartate Transaminase (AST) and ALanine Transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN);
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN. Patients with a metallic biliary prosthesis due to biliary obstruction caused by the cancer may be included, if: a CT scan with injection of contrast medium and thin pancreas sections was performed before placing the biliary prosthesis, the bilirubin level after prosthesis fitting decreased to ≤20 mg/L (≤34 μmol/L), and in the absence of cholangitis.
- Creatininaemia within the reference limits, or calculated clearance ≥50 ml/min for patients with a serum creatinine value above or below the reference values (clearance calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease EPIdemiology collaboration (CKDEPI formula).
