Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Chemotherapy plus EUS-RFA

Arm Description

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) and chemotherapy will be administered as part of standard of care treatment for PDAC in patients receiving palliative second- or third-line therapy for unresectable non-metastatic pancreatic cancer. Study participants will undergo 3 identical EUS-RFA procedures, administered during Study Window 2 (Weeks 1-3), Window 3 (Weeks 5-7), and Window 4 (Weeks 9-11). During each EUS-RFA procedure, a tumor biopsy will also be taken for single cell RNA sequencing. Chemotherapy will be administered during Study Window 2 (Weeks 1-3), Window 3 (Weeks 5-7), Window 4 (Weeks 9-11), and Window 5 (Weeks 13-15).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants who Complete Therapy without Grade III-IV Adverse Events (AEs) as Assessed by CTCAE v. 5.0
Per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 5.0, Grade III AEs are defined as severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; or hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; or disabling; or limiting self care activities of daily living. Grade IV AEs are defined as life-threatening consequences; or urgent intervention indicated.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants who Complete all 3 EUS-RFA Treatments
Treatments delivered during Study Window 2 (Weeks 1-3), Window 3 (Weeks 5-7), and Window 4 (Weeks 9-11).
Disease-Free Survival from Diagnosis
Time from diagnosis to first clinical evidence of local or distant recurrence.
Disease-Free Survival from First Study Procedure
Time from first study procedure (delivered during Weeks 1-3) to first clinical evidence of local or distant recurrence.
Overall Survival From Diagnosis
Time from diagnosis to death.
Percentage of Participants who Report Post-Procedural Complications

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a single arm study in the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The investigators propose to test the tolerability of chemotherapy plus endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) using the RF Electrode in patients receiving palliative second or third line therapy for unresectable non-metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Intervention Name(s)
Chemotherapy
Intervention Description
Patients will receive continuation of second or initiate third-line chemotherapy regimen at the discretion and decision of treating oncologist.
Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation (EUS-RFA)
Other Intervention Name(s)
EUSRA RF Electrode
Intervention Description
EUS-RFA will be delivered using the EUSRA RF Electrode, which is a sterile, single-use electrosurgical accessory for coagulation and ablation of soft tissue when used in conjunction with compatible radio frequency generator (VIVA Combo RF Generator). The device will be used during a routine EUS, which is a minimally invasive procedure used to assess gastrointestinal diseases. Each EUS-RFA procedure will last approximately 60 minutes.
