A Randomized Phase II Study of Temozolomide or Temozolomide and Capecitabine in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) associated with temozolomide alone or temozolomide and capecitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate response rates (RR) associated with temozolomide alone or temozolomide and capecitabine treatment in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. II. To evaluate overall survival (OS) associated with temozolomide alone or temozolomide and capecitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. III. To evaluate the toxicity associated with temozolomide alone or temozolomide and capecitabine treatment in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. IV. To evaluate the usefulness of methyl guanine methyltransferase (MGMT) status (by immunohistochemistry [IHC] and promoter methylation) for predicting response in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor patients treated with either temozolomide or temozolomide and capecitabine. V. To bank radiology images for evaluation of quality, reproducibility, and compliance with computed tomography (CT) methodology. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM A: Patients receive temozolomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 13 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM B: Patients receive capecitabine PO twice daily (BID) on days 1-14 and temozolomide PO QD on days 10-14. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 13 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 3 years.

A Phase II-R and a Phase III Trial Evaluating Both *Erlotinib (PH II-R) and Chemoradiation (PH III) as Adjuvant Treatment For Patients With Resected Head of Pancreas Adenocarcinoma
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine whether the addition of erlotinib (erlotinib hydrochloride) to gemcitabine (gemcitabine hydrochloride) adjuvant chemotherapy shows a signal for improved survival as compared to gemcitabine alone following R0 or R1 resection of head of pancreas adenocarcinoma (including adenocarcinoma of the head, neck, and uncinate process). (Phase II-R) II. To determine whether the use of concurrent fluoropyrimidine and radiotherapy following adjuvant gemcitabine hydrochloride-based chemotherapy further enhances survival for such patients who are without evidence of progressive disease after 5 cycles of gemcitabine based chemotherapy. (Phase III) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate disease-free survival of adjuvant chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy and concurrent fluoropyrimidine for patients with resected head of pancreas adenocarcinoma who are disease free after 5 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. II. To evaluate disease-free survival of standard adjuvant gemcitabine chemotherapy with and without erlotinib for patients with resected head of pancreas adenocarcinoma. III. To evaluate adverse events with and without erlotinib for patients with resected head of pancreas adenocarcinoma. IV. To evaluate adverse events of adjuvant chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy and concurrent fluoropyrimidine for patients with resected head of pancreas adenocarcinoma who are disease free after adjuvant chemotherapy. V. To evaluate preoperative cross-sectional imaging of the primary head of pancreas adenocarcinoma in order to determine the frequency with which objective criteria of resectability are present. VI. To determine if patients reporting low baseline fatigue, as measured by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue, predicts survival and to explore correlations between baseline fatigue, as measured by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), and survival. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM I: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 5 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM II: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride as in arm I and erlotinib hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 5 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. (NOTE: Phase II-R erlotinib hydrochloride randomization completed, Arm 2 closed to accrual effective 2/19/2014) Patients with no disease progression after treatment in arm I or II are then stratified according to their first randomization treatment arm (arm I vs arm II) and randomized to 1 of 2 additional treatment arms (arm III or IV). ARM III: Patients receive 1 course of the same treatment that they receive in arm I or II. ARM IV: Patients receive 1 course of the same treatment that they receive in arm I or II. Beginning within 7-21 days after completion of chemotherapy, patients undergo radiotherapy (3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy or intensity-modulated radiotherapy) 5 days per week for 5.5 weeks (28 fractions). During radiotherapy, patients receive either capecitabine PO twice daily (BID) 5 days per week or fluorouracil IV continuously for 5.5 weeks or until radiotherapy is completed. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

S1313, A Phase IB/II Randomized Study of Modified FOLFIRINOX + Pegylated Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (PEGPH20) Versus Modified FOLFIRINOX Alone in Patients With Good Performance Status Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the safety of modified leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride and oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX) in combination with PEGPH20 and select the optimal dose of PEGPH20 for the phase II portion in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. (Phase I) II. To assess the overall survival of patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with mFOLFIRINOX + PEGPH20 compared to those treated with mFOLFIRINOX alone. (Phase II) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess progression free survival (PFS) in patients receiving mFOLFIRINOX with PEGPH20 and patients receiving mFOLFIRINOX alone in this patient population. II. To assess objective tumor response (confirmed and unconfirmed, complete and partial) in patients with measurable disease treated with mFOLFIRINOX with PEGPH20 and patients receiving mFOLFIRINOX alone in this patient population. III. To determine the frequency, severity, and tolerability of adverse events of mFOLFIRINOX with PEGPH20. TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: I. To explore the correlation of maximum decrease in cancer antigen (CA) 19-9 levels and time to maximum decrease in CA 19-9 levels with overall survival, progression-free survival and response. II. To explore the correlation of plasma hyaluronan (HA) and tumor expression of HA with overall survival, progression-free survival and response. OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose de-escalation study of pegylated recombinant human hyaluronidase followed by a randomized phase II study. PHASE I: Patients receive pegylated recombinant human hyaluronidase intravenously (IV) over 10 minutes on day 1*; oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours, leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours, and irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 1.5 hours on day 2; and fluorouracil IV over 46 hours on days 2-4. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. PHASE II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM I: Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours, leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours, and irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 1.5 hours on day 2, and fluorouracil IV over 46 hours on days 2-4. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM II: Patients receive pegylated recombinant human hyaluronidase IV over 10 minutes on day 1* and oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, irinotecan hydrochloride, and fluorouracil as in Arm I. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. *NOTE: Some patients also receive pegylated recombinant human hyaluronidase on day 3 or 4 of courses 1 and 2.
