Padeliporfin VTP Treatment for Unresectable Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
Purpose
This is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, open label light dose escalation phase I trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of Padeliporfin vascular targeted photodynamic therapy (VTP) applied via endovascular fiber placement within a dilatation catheter, through the target artery(superior mesenteric artery (SMA), celiac artery (CA) or common hepatic artery (CHA)). The investigators will evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy of Padeliporfin VTP administered endovascularly using light dose escalation.

Patient may have received prior neoadjuvant systemic therapy (chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy) 14. Patient with no prior external beam radiation therapy to the pancreas 15. Patient with prior attempted surgical resection is permitted 16. No comorbidities which would preclude access to the target artery by endovascular catheterization 17. Male or nonpregnant and nonlactating female aged ≥18 years - Women of child-bearing potential (i.e., fertile, following menarche, and until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile; permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy) must test negative for pregnancy at the time of screening on the basis of a urine or serum pregnancy test. - Postmenopausal women are defined as those who have had an absence of menstruation for at least 2 years. - Female subjects of reproductive potential must agree to use two effective methods of birth control during the study and for 1 month after the last dose of study medication. - Male subjects must agree to use condoms during the study and for 90 days after the last dose within the 7 days before VTP treatment of study medication. Participant
Exclusion Criteria
- Metastatic (stage IV) disease 2. SMA originated not from aorta 3. Any anatomical variant or vascular abnormality that precludes safe placement of the balloon and device assembly in the target artery in the discretion of the principle investigator. 4. Hemodynamically significant moderate to severe atherosclerotic flow limiting changes of target vessel wall 5. Hemodynamically significant stenosis of the CA 6. Previous radiotherapy treatment for pancreatic cancer 7. Cystic component >= 25% the total volume of the tumor 8. Moderate to severe clinical ascites not controlled by medication detected by CT, ultrasound (US) or MRI; 9. Known additional malignancy that is progressing and/or requires active treatment. 10. Cardiac function: history of congestive heart failure or recent (within 6 months) myocardial infarction or ischemic event 11. Unable to receive or previously intolerant of moderate and/or deep sedation 12. Any other medical or social condition deemed by the investigator to be likely to interfere with a subject's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate, and participate in the study or that is likely to interfere with the interpretation of the results 13. Unwilling or unable to comply with study procedures and/or study visits 14. Receipt of prior definitive resection for pancreatic cancer 15. Pregnant and/or nursing 16. Active infection 17. Known hypersensitivity to iodine contrast 18. Receipt of concurrent investigational therapy or within 30 days of protocol initiation 19. Any other medical or psychiatric comorbidities, including decompensated heart failure, unstable angina or coronary artery disease or severe pulmonary disease, that, in the opinion of the study investigator, would make the patient a poor candidate for the study. Systemic chemotherapy treatment within at least 14 days prior to planned VTP. Preferred wash out period is 30 days. 21. VEGF-targeted therapy within 2 months prior to planned VTP treatment 22. Prohibited medication that could not be adjusted or discontinued prior to study treatment (See Section 16 for instructions) 23. Patients with photosensitive skin diseases or porphyria.

|---|---|---|
|
Experimental Part A |
will be a monotherapy light dose escalation with single dose of Padeliporfin at light laser doses of 200, 400 and 600 mW/cm for 10 minutes. Part A will proceed with light dose escalation and will continue until the maximum tolerated light dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) is defined. |

Detailed Description
This is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, open label light dose escalation phase I trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of Padeliporfin vascular targeted photodynamic therapy (VTP) applied via endovascular fiber placement within a dilatation catheter, through the the target artery(superior mesenteric artery (SMA), celiac artery (CA) or common hepatic artery (CHA)).The investigators will evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy of Padeliporfin VTP administered endovascularly using light dose escalation. Study Intervention: Patients enrolled in the study will undergo endovascular VTP, using Padeliporfin (WST-11) activated via endovascular fiber placement through the target artery(superior mesenteric artery (SMA), celiac artery (CA) or common hepatic artery (CHA))., with intravenous administration of Padeliporfin at a fixed dose of 4 mg/kg of padeliporfin di-potassium, followed by total of 10 min illumination at 753 nm. For light dose escalation (Part A), a 3+3 dose-escalation schema will be used. In a subsequent expansion phase (Part B), the optimal light dose as per light dose escalation, will be used in an additional cohort of patients to further evaluate preliminary efficacy.
