The CEB-01 implant is a membrane containing SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan, an already authorized chemotherapeutic agent. After surgical removal of the pancreatic cancer tumor, CEB 01 will be placed in the surgical bed for a local and sustained release of the chemotherapy. This is expected to delay or prevent local recurrence of pancreatic cancer after surgery, while keeping a tolerable toxicity profile. The study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of CEB-01 in patients with locally resectable pancreatic cancer
Exploratory, multi-center, interventional, prospective, randomised, single-blind, controlled clinical trial in adult participants with locally resectable pancreatic cancer. Participants will be allocated in a 2:1 ratio to two treatment arms: (Arm 1) standard surgery and CEB-01 implant after surgery, or (Arm 2) standard surgery without implant. For measurement of primary safety and efficacy endpoints, follow-up will consist of shortterm evaluation at 365 ± 30 days and long-term evaluation at 1095 ± 30 days post-surgery as it is considered sufficient for the assessment of the therapeutic effect of CEB-01 regarding local recurrence. For pharmacokinetic assessment, blood samples will be collected at baseline and at 8 different time points until 43 ± 7 days post-surgery. For each participant the trial duration will be composed by a screening period for of up to 35 days, one day for surgery and 1095 ± 30 days of follow-up. The trial population will consist of 39 participants with a de novo pancreatic cancer who fulfil all the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

The location and size of the tumor determine the type of surgery.
It is novel formulation for local release of chemotherapy. It consists of a biocompatible and biodegradable nanofiber membrane made of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), which is loaded with the anti-tumor drug SN-38 and implanted in the surgical bed after tumor removal.
