Who can take part
AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with metastatic pancreatic cancer with a KRAS G12V mutation and liver or lung metastases, whose disease got worse on or who could not tolerate first-line AG chemotherapy.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- Women and men can both join
- Disease stage
- Advanced pancreatic cancer, or pancreatic cancer that came back after surgery, confirmed by tissue or cell examination. Liver or lung metastases must be present. Diffuse liver or lung metastases are not allowed.
- Earlier treatment
- Disease must have resisted, or the person could not tolerate, earlier AG-based chemotherapy (albumin-bound paclitaxel plus gemcitabine). No earlier local treatment of metastases, such as ablation or radiotherapy.
- Biomarker or test result
- Tumour must carry the KRAS G12V mutation. In the dose expansion phase, at least one listed HLA allele is also needed: HLA-A11:01, HLA-A03:01, HLA-A30:01, HLA-A68:01, HLA-C01:02, HLA-C03:03 or HLA-C03:04.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Diffuse liver or lung metastases
- Earlier solid organ or stem cell transplant
- Brain metastases with symptoms not fully controlled
- Uncontrolled active infection
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those planning pregnancy
The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 22 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Aged ≥ 18 years old with no restriction on gender
- Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer or postoperative recurrent pancreatic cancer confirmed by histopathological or cytological examination
- Tumor tissues are confirmed to carry KRAS G12V mutation via sequencing and bioinformatics analysis (valid test reports obtained within the previous 12 months and recognized by the investigator are acceptable). In the dose expansion phase, patients must harbor at least one HLA allele capable of effectively presenting the corresponding antigen, including HLA-A11:01, HLA-A03:01, HLA-A30:01, HLA-A68:01, HLA-C01:02, HLA-C03:03, and HLA-C03:04
- Disease resistance or intolerance to prior AG-based chemotherapy regimens
- Presence of liver metastasis or lung metastasis
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score of 0 or 1
- Child-Pugh score ≤ 7 points
- Expected overall survival of at least 3 months
Who cannot take part
- Prior local treatment including radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, radiotherapy or other local therapies for metastatic lesions
- Current participation in other interventional clinical studies and receiving investigational treatment
- Diagnosis of any other malignant disease within 5 years prior to the first study drug administration (excluding radically treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, and/or radically resected in situ carcinoma)
- Prior history of solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
- Any disease requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids (prednisone or equivalent daily dose > 10 mg) or other immunosuppressive agents within 14 days prior to enrollment
- Previous or current diagnosis of brain metastases with incompletely controlled symptoms (i.e., persistent or aggravated symptoms, or requirement for adjusted symptomatic treatment to maintain symptom relief)
- Prior systemic pharmacotherapy, radiotherapy or local hepatic treatment with an interval of < 1 month from the last systemic or local hepatic treatment to the first study drug administration
- Presence of uncontrolled active infection
- History of esophagogastric variceal rupture without effective treatment via endoscopy, interventional therapy or surgery
- Patients with psychiatric disorders in the acute episode stage
- Renal dysfunction defined as serum creatinine > 176.8 μmol/L or creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min
- Uncorrectable coagulation abnormalities, including platelet count < 50×10⁹/L, prothrombin time > 18 seconds, or prothrombin activity < 40%, which cannot be corrected
- Presence of diffuse hepatic or pulmonary metastases
- Women of childbearing potential who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study treatment period or within 3 months after the end of study treatment

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This is a single-arm, single-center, exploratory clinical study. A total of 20 participants with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (with liver or lung metastasis) who have experienced disease progression after or are intolerant to standard first-line chemotherapy (based on the AG regimen [Albumin-bound Paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine]) will be enrolled.The study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and underlying immunological mechanisms of Multimodal Thermal Therapy (MTT) combined with a KRAS G12V mRNA vaccine, S-1, and Sintilimab.
The group in the trial
- Treatment GroupTreatment being tested
MTT + KRAS G12V mRNA Vaccine + Sintilimab ± S-1 Participants will receive Multimodal Thermal Therapy (MTT) combined with KRAS G12V mRNA vaccine and sintilimab. In addition, oral S-1 (tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil) will be administered to participants aged \<80 years. Participants aged ≥80 years will receive MTT + KRAS G12V mRNA vaccine + sintilimab without S-1.
Treatment: Multimodal Thermal Therapy (MTT) System, KRAS G12V mRNA Vaccine, Sintilimab, and S-1
