OncoSil Medical Limited
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the safety of an active implantable (radiological) medical device OncoSil™, when implanted into patients with pancreatic cancer, in conjunction with Standard chemotherapy. OncoSil™, is an experimental treatment and carries the active treatment "radioactive Phosphorous (32P)" inside inactive silicon particles. Once implanted, the OncoSil™ Microparticles will stay in the tumour permanently. The purpose of OncoSil™, is to deliver the action of 32P directly into a targeted tumour to destroy cancer cells. 20 Patients will be taking part in a single arm open label research study - which means that everyone in the research study will receive the investigational treatment OncoSil™, plus their prescribed standard chemotherapy regimen which will be either Gemcitabine or Gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane). Endpoints: Primary Endpoint: • Safety and Tolerability Secondary Endpoints: Efficacy * Local Progression Free Survival (LPFS), within the pancreas * Progression Free Survival (PFS), all sites * Overall Survival (OS) * Body weight * Impaired function * Pain Scores The screening period will be performed within a 2 week period, followed by a treatment period of investigational visits which will occur weekly from Day 0 (Visit 1) until week 12, then 4 weeks later at week 16, and then at 8-weekly intervals until study participants reach documented progression of disease criteria for both LPFS and PFS which marks the end of study participation i.e. EOS visit. 8 weekly telephone contact will be used to monitor device or late radiation related adverse events, and oncology treatments/procedures administered for up to 12 months post OncoSil™ implantation. Overall survival will be conducted via 8 weekly medical record reviews and or telephone contact until subject death, or until 104 weeks post the last subject enrolled. Overall survival will be conducted via 8-weekly medical record reviews until study participant death, or until 104 weeks post the last study participant enrolled. Activity (Dose): The intended average absorbed radiation dose per treated tumour is 100 Gy (+20%). Risks associated with OncoSil™ and/or implantation procedure The following adverse events, considered to have a causal relationship with OncoSil™ or procedure, were recorded during previous clinical studies: * Procedure-related pain * Abdominal pain and discomfort * Lethargy * Fever * Nausea and vomiting * Abnormal liver function tests
