Abstract

Background: Local tumor progression is a cause of significant mortality and morbidity in patients with unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Effective approaches to achieve durable local control are urgently needed. Metabolic reprogramming and enhanced mitochondrial function, both hallmarks of PDAC, are known contributors to chemo- and radio-resistance. CPI-613, a lipoic acid analog that selectively inhibits components of the Krebs cycle in tumors, showed promising preclinical synergy in combination with gemcitabine and radiation therapy (gem-RT).

Methods: We describe a single-arm, single-center, open-label, phase I study designed to determine the maximumtolerated dose of CPI-613 when used concomitantly with gemcitabine and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for local control of PDAC. CPI-613 will be administered once weekly by intravenous infusion over approximately 2 hours at a starting dose of 500 mg/m2 and dose-escalated/de-escalated using a Bayesian optimal interval design. Gemcitabine will be given once weekly at 400 mg/m2 dosage and IMRT as 54 Gray (Gy) in 30 fractions (1.8 Gy per fraction) with five fractions given per week. Up to 24 patients will be enrolled for the study after meeting the following main eligibility criteria, which include: pathologically confirmed PDAC; inoperable disease that by institutional pancreatic multidisciplinary tumor board or multidisciplinary review are considered to benefit from definitive local control of the primary tumor; ECOG of 0-2; and adequate organ and marrow function after completion of intended systemic chemotherapy. The secondary objectives are to determine the recommended phase II dose of CPI-613 when used with gem-RT, safety and tolerability of CPI-613-gem-RT, overall survival, local progression-free survival (PFS), overall PFS, patient-reported quality of life after treatment, and late gastrointestinal toxicities following treatment with CPI-613-gem-RT.
