摘要
737 Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with limited response to systemic therapy (ST). Elevated tumor interstitial fluid pressures (IFP) inhibit penetration of ST. Regional Pressure Enabled Drug Delivery has recently demonstrated improved response for liver tumors in a clinical trial. However, this delivery method has not been evaluated in PDAC. We compared gemcitabine (Gem) by systemic delivery vs. a novel pressurized Pancreatic Retrograde Venous Infusion (PRVI) method in an orthotopic PDAC mouse model. Methods: PDAC murine cell line (KPC4580P) tumors were transplanted onto the pancreatic tail of C57BL/6J mice. Groups of 15 mice were randomly assigned to PRVI Gem, PRVI saline (Control), or intraperitoneal Gem (Systemic) groups. Five mice from the PRVI and Systemic groups were randomly selected after one hour post infusion to evaluate Gem tumor concentrations by liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (ng/mg), and the remainder of mice were euthanized after 7 days to evaluate treatment response. Results: Tumor concentrations of Gem were significantly higher following PRVI compared to Systemic (128 vs. 19, p < 0.01) at one hour after treatment. Seven days after treatment, PRVI Gem mice demonstrated lower mean tumor volume (mm3) than Systemic Gem and Control mice (274 vs. 857 vs. 629, p < 0.01), respectively. Histologic evaluation of tumors demonstrated decreased cellularity in the PRVI Gem mice compared to Systemic and Control mice (35 vs. 78 vs. 71%, p = 0.01), respectively. No differences were seen in Ki67% or immune cell infiltrate between groups. Conclusions: PRVI delivery resulted in increased PDAC Gem concentrations and improved treatment responses with decreased tumor burden and cellularity. These findings suggest that pressurized regional chemotherapy infusion overcomes the elevated PDAC IFP and justifies additional translational pre-clinical studies with other chemotherapeutics (including immunomodulating antibodies) with different physicochemical properties.
