Combination Immunotherapy Plus Standard-of-Care Chemotherapy Versus Standard-of-Care Chemotherapy for First and Second Line Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

NCT04390399

Description:

This is a phase 2, three-cohort (2 randomized and 1 single-arm), open-label study to evaluate the comparative efficacy and overall safety of standard-of-care chemotherapy versus standard-of-care chemotherapy in combination with aldoxorubicin HCl, N-803, and PD-L1 t-haNK in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Each treatment setting (ie, first line maintenance, second line, or third line or greater) will be evaluated independently as a separate cohort.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Age ≥ 18 years.

          2. Able to understand and provide a signed informed consent that fulfills the relevant
             IRB or IEC guidelines.

          3. Have histologically confirmed unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic
             cancer.

               1. For Cohort A, subjects must have initially received, or are currently receiving,
                  continuous treatment with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel for at least 16 weeks
                  and have confirmed PR, CR, or SD prior to receiving first-line maintenance
                  therapy on this study. Duration of actual initial treatment may be unlimited as
                  long as no evidence of disease progression is noted by the Investigator at the
                  time of randomization.

               2. For Cohort B, subjects must have PD after receiving initial treatment with
                  FOLFOX, FOLFIRINOX, or a gemcitabine- or paclitaxel-based therapy for pancreatic
                  cancer.

                  Subjects who discontinued prior therapy due to toxicity, intolerance, or
                  available therapy was clinically contraindicated are allowed.

               3. For Cohort C, subjects must have PD after receiving at least 2 lines of therapy
                  for pancreatic cancer, including but not limited to neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and/or
                  metastatic settings.

          4. ECOG PS of 0 or 1.

          5. Have at least 1 measurable lesion and/or non-measurable disease evaluable in
             accordance with RECIST V1.1.

          6. Ability to attend required study visits and return for adequate follow-up, as required
             by this protocol.

          7. Agreement to practice effective contraception for female subjects of child-bearing
             potential and non-sterile males. Female subjects of child-bearing potential must agree
             to use effective contraception while on study and for at least 5 months after the last
             dose of study treatment. Non-sterile male subjects must agree to use a condom while on
             study and for up to 5 months after the last dose of study treatment. Effective
             contraception includes surgical sterilization (eg, vasectomy, tubal ligation), two
             forms of barrier methods (eg, condom, diaphragm) used with spermicide, IUDs, oral
             contraceptives, and abstinence.

        Exclusion Criteria

          1. Body weight ≤ 40 kg at screening.

             investigational drug used in this study or that would put the subject at high risk for
             treatment-related complications.

             disease, autoimmune disease associated with lymphoma).
