Siltuximab and Spartalizumab in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

NCT04191421

Description:

This phase Ib/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of siltuximab and how well it works in combination with spartalizumab in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as siltuximab and spartalizumab, interfere with the ability of tumors cells to grow and spread.

Purpose

This phase Ib/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of siltuximab and how well it works in combination with spartalizumab in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as siltuximab and spartalizumab, interfere with the ability of tumors cells to grow and spread.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. Determine the recommended phase II dose for the combination of spartalizumab and
      siltuximab.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Define the toxicity profile of the combination of the recommended phase II dose of
      spartalizumab and siltuximab.

      II. Evaluate the activity of the combination of spartalizumab and siltuximab in previously
      treated patients with pancreatic cancer.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

      I. Evaluate the effect of the combination on the immune profile in the serum and in tumor
      biopsies.

      OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of siltuximab.

      Participants receive spartalizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1 and siltuximab
      IV over 1 hour on day 1. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150
      days, then every 12 weeks thereafter.
