This study focuses on a new way to help people who have had surgery for pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if a personalized cancer vaccine, made from a part of a patient's own tumor called "neoantigen mRNA," can work safely alongside a PD-1 antibody and standard chemotherapy. This combination treatment is meant as an additional, or "adjuvant," therapy to target any remaining cancer cells. The goal is to prevent the cancer from coming back, which is a significant concern for people with pancreatic cancer after surgery. Participants in the study receive a personalized vaccine designed specifically from their tumor cells, which is then given together with a PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy. The treatment is administered after surgery, as part of the ongoing care plan. The study evaluates how safe this combination is and looks for any side effects participants might experience. By monitoring these outcomes, researchers hope to gather important information about how effective this new treatment approach might be in preventing cancer recurrence.

Design Details

60 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Prevention Study

Prevention studies aim to stop a disease from developing. They often involve people at risk and test things like vaccines, lifestyle changes, or preventive medications.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Pre-Screening Phase Inclusion Criteria (for Radical Surgery and Vaccine Preparation): * Subjects meeting all of the following criteria will enter the pre-screening phase for radical surgery and vaccine preparation: * Voluntarily sign the informed consent form (ICF); * Age ≥18 years, regardless of gender; * Diagnosed with resectable pancreatic cancer as assessed per the 2024 NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines and willing to undergo radical surgery; * ECOG Performance Status score of 0 or 1; * Ability to obtain sufficient fresh tumor tissue samples for whole-exome sequencing (WES) and transcriptome sequencing analysis; * Normal function of major organs (heart, liver, kidneys): * Liver function: Total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN; ALT/AST ≤2.5×ULN; * Renal function: Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN or creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula); * Cardiac function: LVEF ≥50% by echocardiography; * Contraception agreement: Fertile males and females of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception from signing the ICF until 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. Females of childbearing potential include premenopausal women and women ≤2 years postmenopausal; * Ability to comply with the study protocol and follow-up procedures. 2. Formal Screening Phase Inclusion Criteria (for Study Treatment Initiation): * Subjects meeting all of the following criteria will enter the formal screening phase for study treatment: * Voluntarily sign the informed consent form (ICF); * Age ≥18 years, regardless of gender; * Histologically confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) post-surgery; * Completion of radical resection (R0 or R1) with no evidence of metastatic disease, malignant ascites, or pleural effusion on imaging 4-12 weeks postoperatively; * ECOG Performance Status score:Cohort A: 0 or 1;Cohort B: 0-2; * Normal function of major organs (heart, liver, kidneys): * Contraception agreement: Same as pre-screening criteria; * Ability to comply with the study protocol and follow-up procedures. Exclusion Criteria: Subjects meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study: * Serum CA 19-9 level \>180 U/mL within 21 days prior to initiating standard postoperative adjuvant therapy; * History of bone marrow transplantation, allogeneic organ transplantation, or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; * Concurrent immunosuppressive therapy, defined as regular use of immunosuppressive agents within 4 weeks prior to screening or during the study, including but not limited to: 1. Severe asthma requiring systemic corticosteroids (≥10 mg/day prednisone equivalent); 2. Active autoimmune disease or immunodeficiency (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus); 3. History of primary immunodeficiency; 4. Exceptions: Type 1 diabetes, autoimmune hypothyroidism managed with hormone replacement, vitiligo, or psoriasis not requiring systemic therapy; * Active bacterial/fungal infections requiring systemic treatment, or active/latent tuberculosis (confirmed by interferon-gamma release assay or tuberculin skin test); * Active viral infections: 1. HIV antibody-positive; 2. Syphilis (TP antibody-positive with RPR/TRUST confirmation); 3. Active hepatitis C (HCV RNA-positive); 4. Active hepatitis B (HBsAg-positive and HBV DNA ≥2000 IU/mL); * Acute viral infections: 1. Herpesvirus infection (unless resolved with crusting \>4 weeks prior); 2. Respiratory viral infection (unless resolved \>4 weeks prior); * Uncontrolled comorbidities: 1. Symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III/IV); 2. Unstable angina or arrhythmia requiring treatment; 3. Severe coronary/cerebrovascular disease (e.g., myocardial infarction within 6 months); 4. Other conditions deemed exclusionary by the investigator; * History of drug abuse, psychiatric disorders, or psychosocial factors impairing informed consent or protocol compliance; * History of severe hypersensitivity to vaccines, biologics, or any component of the study drug; * Pregnancy or lactation; * Other conditions judged by the investigator to preclude safe participation.

Study Objectives

2 intervention groups are designated in this study

This study does not include a placebo group 

Treatment Groups

Group I

Experimental
Postoperative evaluation will be conducted within 4-12 weeks after surgery, and patients without recurrence will be enrolled. For patients who are chemotherapy-tolerant (evaluated by investigators), adjuvant therapy is to commence within 6-12 weeks postoperatively, with the first day of treatment (D1) defined as the date of initial postoperative intervention. Postoperative treatment follows the: 1.Gemcitabine + Capecitabine (GC) regimen+ Sintilimab: Gemcitabine: 1000 mg/m², intravenously on D1 and D8;Capecitabine: 1650-2000 mg/(m²·day), divided into two daily oral doses from D1 to D14;Sintilimab (200 mg); Q3W for 8 cycles.2.Personalized mRNA injection (100 μg subcutaneously, Q3W) administered from D22±3. On Day 43 ±3 days: The second efficacy assessment will be performed. Patients without disease progression will continue treatment. Patients with disease progression will transition to a second-line chemotherapy regimen (decided by investigators) combined with mRNA and Sintilimab.

Group II

Experimental
Postoperative evaluation will be conducted within 4-12 weeks after surgery, and patients without recurrence will be enrolled. For patients who are Chemotherapy-Intolerant or Chemotherapy-Declined, postoperative treatment consists of Sintilimab (200 mg via intravenous infusion) administered Q3W for 8 cycles. On Day 22 ± 3 days, patients will initiate treatment with personalized mRNA injection at a dose of 100 μg administered subcutaneously Q3W, for a maximum of 9 doses. On Day 43 ±3 days: The second efficacy assessment will be performed. Patients without disease progression will continue treatment. Patients with disease progression will transition to a second-line chemotherapy regimen (decided by investigators) combined with personalized mRNA injection (100 μg subcutaneously,Q3W) and Sintilimab (200 mg via intravenous infusion, Q3W).
