About this study

Official title: Prospective Single-Arm Feasibility Study to Determine the Capacity of the Onco-Seraph 100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter (Onco-Seraph 100) to Remove Circulating Tumor Cells From the Blood of Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)

This study is a Prospective Single Arm Open Label Feasibility trial to evaluate the initial safety and signal of efficacy of a novel extracorporeal blood purification (EBP) procedure in metastatic PDAC refractory to systemic therapy. Site selection will be dependent upon the site's familiarity with extracorporeal blood purification platforms as well as the diagnosis and management of PDAC. Adults (18 years old and older, ECOG PS of equal or less than 2) with a diagnosis of PDAC as defined histologically (microscopically) as a "pancreatobiliary type" adenocarcinoma with at least 5 U/mL CTCs in peripheral blood and/or portal vein.

Read the detailed description

Study Intervention: All study patients will be assigned to receive treatment with the investigational device (Onco-Seraph 100).

Study Duration: Our target enrollment is 30 patients with PDAC. The study will last for up two years. Interim analyses will determine early stopping for safety. This is detailed in Section 23: Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). Furthermore, as the safety and effectiveness of the experimental use of the ONCO Seraph 100 Microbind Affinity Blood Filter for treatment of patients with PDAC is unknown, patients will be followed for up to 5 years to inform oncological outcomes.

Procedure Setting: Extracorporeal blood purification utilizing Seraph can be performed either on an outpatient or an in-patient basis as HD/CRRT procedure is performed routinely in both settings. Whether the procedure will be performed in a setting of an outpatient or in-patient setting would mainly depend on the personalized approach that the Site Investigator choses related to individual patient enrolled in the study. Location of the Seraph treatment will be recorded, and data analysis will include consideration of the setting as it relates to study endpoints. If the Study Procedure is implemented in an outpatient setting subject will be monitored for additional 4 hours.

Procedure Duration for Onco-Seraph 100: A sufficient blood flow rate and exposure of patient's blood to the Onco-Seraph 100 adsorption media was initially established based on the experience in implementing procedure in patients with blood stream infections. However, target procedure duration is further optimized based on data collected in EU oncology patients as listed below:

The average procedure duration and blood flow rates targeted in patients with blood stream infections or oncology are as follows:

  • At an average blood flow of 350mL/min, this would translate to approximately 5 hours of procedure time for patients with blood stream infection or 2.0hrs for oncology patient; an average of 200mL/min translates to a procedure time of 8 hours for blood stream infection or 3.5hrs for oncology patient.
  • 1st stage: Study Procedure will occur only once, followed by weekly follow up visits through day 28, followed by monthly follow up through Day 60
  • 2nd stage: Study Procedures will occur up to 3 times for the first week followed by once weekly for the following 3 weeks, for a total of up to 6 treatments over the first 28 days of study participation.
  • Study Procedure(s) will be held, if subjects are hemodynamically unstable and unable to tolerate extracorporeal procedure (defined as MAP<65 and/or sustained hypotension at enrollment as defined by two readings with systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurements below 100 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) measurements below 50 mmHg. The measurements must be performed thirty minutes from one another, and the Subject must be resting for at least 5 minutes prior to obtaining each measurement. (If the first reading includes a SBP greater than 100 mmHg and a DBP greater than 50 mmHg, the second reading does not need to be taken).

Subjects will be assessed per study visit and as part of routine, standard of care for PDAC. All subjects enrolled in this study will undergo clinical efficacy, safety, and laboratory assessments. Blood, urine, and respiratory samples will be obtained at baseline, Day 1 Day 4, Day 7, 14, 21 and Day 28. Demographic and baseline clinical parameters will be recorded at the time of enrollment. Pertinent clinical parameters will be recorded on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21 and once on day 28. Outcomes data will be recorded on day 28 and at the time of hospital discharge or death. Subject status will be assessed at, 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21 28 or30, and 60 days to include adverse event evaluation and a targeted medication review. Survival status will be assessed 30 and 60 days after enrollment.

Patients will receive standard of care follow-up for up to 5 years and this data collected will be made available for FDA review.

A subset of the protocol team will review Grade 3 and 4 adverse event or serious adverse event (AE / SAE) data every 2 weeks. If there is a pattern of unexpected AEs that is out of proportion to the current understanding of the natural history of the disease, the DSMB will be asked to review un-blinded safety data in an ad hoc meeting. If an ad hoc meeting of the DSMB is convened to review a serious, device-related adverse event, enrollment will be halted pending the DSMB review to ensure subject safety in the trial. The DSMB will review the event to ensure subject safety. After the review, the DSMB will determine if enrollment may resume.

The DSMB will conduct an interim analysis after the enrollment of 10 subjects to evaluate for safety and efficacy prior to completion of enrollment (n=30) (as detailed in Section 23: Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB)) and will be available for ad hoc reviews for safety concerns as described above. As stated above, enrollment will be halted pending the convening of an ad hoc DSMB meeting to review a serious, device-related adverse event.

The DSMB will review the event to ensure subject safety in the trial. The DSMB will determine if enrollment may resume. The DSMB may recommend temporary or permanent cessation of enrollment based on their safety reviews.

As part of the initial PK study, DSMB will also review safety data after the first 2 and 5 subjects consented and treated. If there are significant safety concerns after DSMB review, the sponsor will immediately pause the trial and communicate the information with the FDA.

The safety data of the first 5 subjects will be reported to FDA for review. Study expansion will be allowed via FDA pre-approved IDE supplement prior to commencing enrollment of the remaining subjects.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ONCObind (Onco-Seraph) 100 FilterDevice

    The ONCObind (Onco-Seraph) 100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter (Onco-Seraph 100) manufactured by ExThera Medical Corporation in Martinez, CA. The Onco-Seraph 100 filter has been designed and manufactured to reduce residual risks as much as possible to ensure safe usage. Literature search results concluded that heparin coated medical devices are safe and decrease platelet adhesion without affecting the adsorption of major adhesive proteins.

    Literature search yielded over 45 publications and 370 treated patients with Seraph platform technology for pathogen removals without significant safety concern. The achieved results from the above-mentioned testing and studies support the performance and safety of Onco-Seraph 100 consistent with the intended use. ExThera Medical concludes that the known and potential benefits of Onco-Seraph 100, when used to treat patients with PDAC, outweigh the known and potential risks when used according to the intended use.
