What this Trial Is About
This is a feasibility, safety, tolerability, and efficacy research study of an investigational device called "Suizenji", an ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy system for the treatment of unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Focused ultrasound therapy uses a number of small ultrasound generators attached to a bowl-shaped ultrasound generator to emit ultrasound waves from outside to inside the body and focus them on a single point where cancerous cells in the pancreas are located. The targeted area is then heated, which kills the pancreatic cancer cells, and as a result, the patient's life may be prolonged. Experience with Suizenji for pancreatic cancer patients has shown that the "heating" is only a warm feeling in the abdomen during the treatment.

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Signed an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved informed consent document.
- Men and women 18 years of age or older.
- Histologically or cytologically diagnosed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
- Newly diagnosed unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic disease.
- Primary tumor accessible to HIFU treatment and visualized on transabdominal ultrasonography.
- Primary tumor site must be a measurable lesion according to RECIST version 1.1 at baseline.
- ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1.
- Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
- Adequate organ function including neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm3, platelet count ≥ 50,000/mm3, hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dl, creatinine ≤ 1.7 mg/dl, AST and ALT ≤ 3 times the upper limit of normal, and total bilirubin ≤ 2 times the upper limit of normal.
You will not qualify if you...
- Active treatment for any cancers other than pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
- Prior chemotherapy or interventions for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
- Obstructive jaundice without a bile duct stent placed prior to starting HIFU treatment.
- Tumor embolization in veins around the pancreas.
- Cysts outside the primary pancreatic tumor that block the HIFU pathway (unless cyst is fully surrounded by tumor).
- More than 50% reduction in size of the main hepatic artery or occlusion of the portal vein seen on CT or MRI.
- Allergy to contrast agents unless manageable by steroid treatment.
- Having a cardiac pacemaker.
- Congestive heart failure, poorly controlled arrhythmia, recent heart attack or unstable angina within 6 months.
- Peritoneal dissemination.
- Active infections requiring systemic treatment.
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or women of childbearing potential unwilling to use birth control.
- Use of unapproved or investigational drugs or devices within 30 days before study start.
- Any other condition that investigator judges makes participation inappropriate.
