A Study of Live Biotherapeutic Product MRx0518 With Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy in Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

NCT04193904

Description:

This is a single center, open-label, phase I study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of MRx0518 with preoperative hypofractionated radiation in 15 patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. Subjects will take MRx0518 daily for one week prior to the start of radiation therapy, throughout radiation and until surgical resection of the tumour.

Measure:Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame:12 months post radiation
Safety Issue:
Description:OS is defined as the duration from the start of study treatment until death due to any cause
Measure:Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame:12 months post radiation
Safety Issue:
Description:PFS is defined as the duration from the start of study treatment until disease progression or death
Measure:Local Control
