Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to provide a go/no-go decision for a randomized expansion study by assessing the disease control rate (DCR) at 6 weeks for the combination of olaptesed pegol on top of pembrolizumab and (Arm 1) nanoliposomal irinotecan, 5-FU and leucovorin or (Arm 2) gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, to assess safety and tolerability and time-to-event endpoints.

Conditions

Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Go/no-go decision for a randomized expansion study

  Assessment of the disease control rate (DCR) at 6 weeks for the combination of olaptesed pegol on top of pembrolizumab and (Arm 1) nanoliposomal irinotecan, 5-FU and leucovorin or (Arm 2) gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel

  until progression or intolerable toxicity to completion of 35 administrations (approximately 2 years) with pembrolizumab

Secondary Outcomes (8)

• Safety and tolerability

  until progression or intolerable toxicity to completion of 35 administrations (approximately 2 years) with pembrolizumab

• DCR at 12 weeks

  until progression or intolerable toxicity to completion of 35 administrations (approximately 2 years) with pembrolizumab

• Progression free survival (PFS)

  until progression or intolerable toxicity to completion of 35 administrations (approximately 2 years) with pembrolizumab

• Overall response rate (ORR)

  until progression or intolerable toxicity to completion of 35 administrations (approximately 2 years) with pembrolizumab

• median Overall survival (mOS)

  until progression or intolerable toxicity to completion of 35 administrations (approximately 2 years) with pembrolizumab

You may qualify if:

• Patient with confirmed microsatellite-stable tumor pathology, if data available
• Patient with histologically or cytologically confirmed primary metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, who
• Arm 1: stopped first-line treatment with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel after documented objective radiographic progression OR
• Arm 2: stopped first-line treatment with FOLFIRINOX or modified FOLFIRINOX after documented objective radiographic progression
• Measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1 as determined by the investigational site
• Estimated minimum life expectancy 3 months
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score 0 to 1
• Adequate organ function laboratory values within the ranges specified: Serum albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL; Hematological system: Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 9.0 g/dL or ≥5.6 mmol/L, Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm³, Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm³; Renal system: Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN OR eGFR ≥30 mL/min for patient with creatinine levels \>1.5 × institutional ULN; Hepatic system: Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN OR direct bilirubin ≤ULN for patients with total bilirubin levels \>1.5 × ULN, ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤5 × ULN for patients with liver metastases); Coagulation: INR OR PT ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants, aPTT ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants

You may not qualify if:

• Prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to treatment.
• Patients must have recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline. Patients with ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy may be eligible. Patients with endocrine-related AEs Grade ≤2 requiring treatment or hormone replacement may be eligible.
• If the patient had major surgery, the patient must have recovered adequately from the procedure and/or any complications from the surgery prior to starting study intervention
• Prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study treatment. Patients must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis.
• Prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (e.g., CTLA-4, OX 40, CD137) and discontinued from that treatment due to a Grade 3 or higher irAE
• Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior the first dose of study drug
• Received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study intervention. Administration of killed vaccines are allowed
• Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs).
• History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis / interstitial lung disease that required steroids or current pneumonitis / interstitial lung disease
• Active infection requiring systemic therapy
• Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 2 years.
