SOCNanoKnife System

SOC: Standard of Care treatment

NanoKnife System: Irreversible Electroporation

Study summary

This multicenter, observational study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the NanoKnife System when used for the ablation of Stage 3 pancreatic adenocarcinoma (Stage 3 PC). Eligible patients will be recruited over a 36-month period and participating institutions will enroll and provide data on consecutive patients that meet inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each patient will be followed up for the duration of the study or until death. The study will include two (2) cohorts: patients who received standard of care (SOC) and received irreversible electroporation (IRE) \[IRE cohort\], and patients who were treated with SOC and did not receive IRE \[SOC cohort\].

Patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 8. Patient has an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification of physical health status of 1 or 2. 9. Patients at IRE sites who are deemed eligible for IRE and receive ablation using the NanoKnife System 10. Patient shows no evidence of disease progression based on NCCN guidelines after completing three (3) months of SOC Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participation in an interventional trial for pancreatic cancer during the study data collection period 2. Pregnant or lactating patients or male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not willing to employ highly effective birth control from screening to 6 months after the last dose of chemotherapy 3. Patients who are unable to tolerate general anesthetic with full skeletal muscle blockade 4. Patients with the presence of implanted cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, electronic devices or implanted devices with metal parts in the thoracic cavity at the time of IRE

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Overall Survival — Time (in months) from time of enrollment to the date of death for any reason, assessed up to 24 months.
    To evaluate the effectiveness of the NanoKnife System when used for the ablation of Stage 3 PC in real world treatment settings, by testing the hypothesis that IRE with the NanoKnife System improves overall survival (OS)
