  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: March 1, 2017

Detailed Description

By enrolling patients with pancreatic cancer adapted to enrolled criteria, this study will document for the first time the safety and the short and long term efficacy of the combined therapy using irreversible electroporation(IRE)and nature killer(NK) cells for advanced pancreatic cancer. The efficacy will be evaluated according to relief degree,progress free survival(PFS) and overall survival(OS). The safety will be evaluated by statistics of adverse reaction

Interventions

  • Biological: NK cells
    • The pancreatic cancer patients will receive nature killer(NK) cells infusions,qd
  • Procedure: irreversible electroporation (IRE )
    • The pancreatic cancer patients will receive the therapy of irreversible electroporation (IRE )

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Active Comparator: irreversible electroporation (IRE)
    • Advanced pancreatic cancer patients received only irreversible electroporation (IRE) without immunotherapy
  • Experimental: IRE & NK cells
    • Advanced pancreatic cancer patients received both irreversible electroporation (IRE ) and immunotherapy of nature killer(NK) cells

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Relief degree
    • Time Frame: 1 year
    • It will be evaluated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST)

Secondary Measures

  • Progress free survival(PFS)
    • Time Frame: 1 year
  • Overall survival(OS)
    • Time Frame: 3 year
