Intra-tumoral Mitazalimab (CD40 Antibody) With Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) in Locally Advanced Pancreas Cancer
Sponsor: University of California, San Diego
Summary
This is a phase I study of an agonistic CD40 antibody (mitazalimab) injected intratumorally at the time of surgical IRE in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Intratumoral delivery has potential to be more effective than systemic (intravenous) delivery while decreasing the systemic side effects of immunotherapy. We hypothesize that local delivery of mitazalimab at the time of IRE in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer will be safe, augment the immune effects of IRE, and decrease the risk of recurrence.

Conditions
Interventions
IRE + intratumoral mitazalimab (CD40 antibody) injection
Surgical IRE will be performed using the NanoKnife System with intraoperative ultrasound guidance via laparotomy under general anesthesia. Mitazalimab (CD40 antibody) will be administered 5 minutes after completion of IRE by slow injection into the center of the ablated zone using a small needle. Core needle biopsies of the tumor will be obtained immediately prior to IRE for identification of candidate tumor antigens. Peripheral blood will be obtained immediately prior to and 12 weeks after the study intervention for analysis of systemic immune effects.
NanoKnife
