Brief Summary:
To find the recommended dose of NBTXR3 that can be given in combination with radiation therapy to patients with pancreatic cancer. To learn if the dose NBTXR3 found in Part 1 can help to control the disease.

Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Locally Advanced Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Resectable Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Stage III Pancreatic Cancer AJCC v8 Other: Hafnium Oxide-containing Nanoparticles NBTXR3 Radiation: Radiation Therapy Phase 1

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

• To determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of NBTXR3 activated by radiotherapy in subjects with locally advanced or borderline-resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  • To evaluate the safety and feasibility of NBTXR3 intratumoral injection activated by radiotherapy in locally advanced or borderline-resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
  • To evaluate the anti-tumor response of NBTXR3 intratumoral injection activated by radiotherapy in subjects with locally advanced or borderline-resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
  • To evaluate time-to-event outcomes in subjects with locally advanced or borderline-resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  • To evaluate the body kinetic profile of intratumorally injected NBTXR3.
  • To evaluate time to event outcomes for subjects with clinical staging of locally advanced, unresectable disease.
  • To evaluate resectability conversion rates.
  • To evaluate surgical outcomes in subjects who undergo surgery after radiation therapy.
  • To associate radiomic measurements with outcomes.
  • To evaluate biomarkers of response in subjects treated with NBTXR3/RT.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of NBTXR3.

Patients receive NBTXR3 intratumorally (IT) on day 1. Patients then undergo 15 fractions of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) between days 15-43 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 month and then every 3 months for up to 1 year.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Dose-limiting toxicities [ Time Frame: 4 weeks after last radiation dose ]
    Any grade >= 3 adverse event related to NBTXR3 and/or radiation therapy. Any toxicity (grade >= 3) that is at least possibly related to study drug (NBTXR3) is a DLT. Adverse events will be scored based on National Cancer Institute - Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE v 5.0).

  2. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]
    MTD will be determined as the dose for which the isotonic estimate of the toxicity rate is closest to the target toxicity rate 30%.

  3. Recommended phase II dose (RP2D) [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Determination of the feasibility of NBTXR3 injection in pancreas [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]
    Feasibility refers to the ability to do intratumoral injection of NBTXR3. The outcome for each patient would be "feasible" or "not feasible."

  2. Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From NBTXR3 injection to local recurrence, local progression, distant progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 1 year ]
  3. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From NBTXR3 injection to death from any cause or EoS, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 1 year ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Presence of hafnium [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]
    Will evaluation of the time-course dependent presence of hafnium in blood and urine following NBTXR3 intratumoral injection.

  2. Disease control rate [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Defined as the proportion of patients without progression 6 months post NBTXR3 injection.

  3. Proportion of locally advanced subjects who undergo surgical resection after receiving NBTXR3/radiation therapy (R3/RT) [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]
  4. Resection status [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]
    Resection status as assessed macroscopically by surgeon R0- Macroscopically complete tumor removal with negative microscopic surgical margins, R1- Macroscopically complete tumor removal with positive microscopic margins (any or all), and R2- Macroscopically incomplete tumor removal with known or suspected residual gross disease.
