About this study

Official title: Neoadjuvant Therapy With Surufatinib Combined With mFOLFIRINOX and Toripalimab for High-risk or Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: A Phase II, Single-arm, Single-center Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if surufatinib (VEGFR-TKI) plus toripalimab (PD-1 inhibitor) and mFOLFIRINOX (chemotherapy) works as neoadjuvant therapy for patients with high-risk or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. It will also learn about the safety of the combination regimen. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the treatment regimen of surufatinib combined with immunotherapy and chemotherapy could provide further survival benefits for patients with high-risk resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer as neoadjuvant therapy?

Is the safety of this combination therapy tolerable?

Participants will:

Take surufatinib (200mg, qd, po, q2w), Toripalimab (3mg/kg, iv, d1, q2w), Oxaliplatin (68 mg/m², iv, d1, q2w), Irinotecan (135 mg/m², iv, d1, q2w), Calcium folinate (400 mg/m², iv, d1, q2w), 5-FU (2400 mg/m², iv). Treatment for up to 8 cycles.

Visit the clinic once every 8 weeks (± 7 days) for checkups and tests. Keep a diary of their symptoms and record daily medication doses.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single-center, single-arm, phase II study.

Preoperative neoadjuvant treatment plan:

  • Surufatinib: 200 mg orally once daily, continuous dosing, with a 14-day treatment cycle;
  • Toripalimab: 3 mg/kg per dose, intravenous infusion over 1 hour on day 1, every 14 days per treatment cycle;
  • Oxaliplatin: 68 mg/m² intravenous infusion over 2 hours on day 1;
  • Irinotecan: 135 mg/m² intravenous infusion over 30-90+ minutes on day 1;
  • Calcium folinate: 400 mg/m² intravenous infusion over 2 hours on day 1;
  • 5-FU: 2400 mg/m² continuous intravenous infusion over 46 hours; repeated every 14 days per treatment cycle.

Neoadjuvant treatment will be administered for up to 8 cycles. During treatment, tumor assessments using imaging will be conducted every 8 weeks (±7 days). For patients achieving stable disease, partial response, or complete response, it will be evaluated whether surgery is feasible. Surgery should occur at least 2 weeks after the last neoadjuvant treatment.

Postoperative adjuvant treatment plan:

  • Adjuvant treatment will begin within 4-8 weeks after surgery, with the specific regimen determined by the investigator.
  • During postoperative adjuvant treatment, tumor assessments using imaging will be conducted every 8 weeks (±7 days) until disease progression (RECIST 1.1) or death (during patient treatment), or until intolerable toxicity occurs. Subsequent treatment after disease progression and survival status will also be recorded.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 12-month Event Free Survival Rate

    Event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from enrollment to the first occurrence of any of the following events, including (1) disease progression according to RECIST criteria, (2) undergoing R2 resection surgery, (3) disease recurrence after surgery, or (4) death from any cause.

    The 12-month EFS rate is defined as the proportion of patients among the total enrolled who have not experienced any of the above predefined events within 12 months from enrollment.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of observation at 12 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. R0 Resection Rate

    The proportion of patients whose postoperative pathological evaluation shows no residual tumor cells at all surgical margins (R0) among all patients who underwent surgery after receiving neoadjuvant therapy.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment for up to 16 weeks

  2. Objective Response Rate

    Refers to the proportion of patients whose tumors shrink by a certain amount and maintain it for a certain period of time, including cases of CR and PR. The objective response rate is evaluated using the RECIST 1.1. Subjects must have measurable tumor lesions at enrollment, and the efficacy evaluation criteria according to RECIST 1.1 are classified as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD).

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment for up to 16 weeks

  3. Disease Control Rate

    Refers to the percentage of patients with complete response, partial response, and stable disease maintained for more than 4 weeks among those evaluable for efficacy.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment for up to 16 weeks

  4. Recurrence Free Survival

    Recurrence-free survival (RFS) refers to the time interval from the date of surgery following neoadjuvant therapy to the recurrence of the tumor (including local/regional recurrence or distant metastasis) or death from any cause.

    Measured: From the date of surgery at week 18 to the recurrence of the tumor or death for up to 96 weeks.

  5. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) refers to the time from enrollment to the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: From enrollment to the date of death from any cause for up to 96 weeks.

  6. AEs

    Collect adverse events (AEs) from enrollment to 30 days after the end of treatment, and grade the AEs according to CTCAE 5.0.

    Measured: From enrollment to 30 days after the end of treatment at 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Surufatinib, Toripalimab and mFOLFIRINOX in people with Pancreatic Cancer Resectable, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhiqiang Wang, Phd (020-87343289, wangzhq@sysucc.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

12-month Event Free Survival Rate (time frame: From enrollment to the end of observation at 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Mar 2026.
