ProAgio in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
Sponsor:

ProDa BioTech, LLC

Brief Summary:

This is an open-label Phase I/Ib dose-escalation, dose-expansion clinical trial of the safety, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of ProAgio combined with gemcitabine and nab paclitaxel (G-nP) in previously untreated subjects with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)

Condition or disease

Pancreatic Ductal Carcinoma

Intervention/treatment

ProAgio Dose Levels (DL) 1,2,3,4

Gemcitabine, nab paclitaxel

Phase

PHASE1

Detailed Description:

This is an open-label Phase I/Ib dose-escalation, dose-expansion clinical trial of the safety, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of ProAgio combined with gemcitabine and nab paclitaxel (G-nP) in previously untreated subjects with metastatic PDAC. The study will use an EWOC design in Phase I to determine the recommended RP2D of ProAgio with gemcitabine and nab paclitaxel (G-nP). After the estimation of RP2D of ProAgio alone, the trial will continue to estimate the RP2D of ProAgio when combined with G-nP, starting from 2 dose levels lower than the estimated RP2D of ProAgio alone. EWOC design will enroll 2 subjects per cohort with 4 combination dose levels. Subjects will be selected based on following criteria: previously untreated advanced PDAC, ECOG performance status (0-1), and adequate organ functions. Subjects with recent surgeries, history of recent thromboembolic events or significant cardiovascular disease will be excluded. Once the MTD and RP2D of ProAgio with G-nP RP2D have been identified, an expansion cohort of 12 subjects with metastatic PDAC (n=6 receiving ProAgio and n=6 receiving ProAgio + GnP) will begin. The purpose of the expansion cohort is to confirm the safety of the regimen and provide preliminary data on the activity of both ProAgio monotherapy and ProAgio + GnP. Data regarding adverse events will be collected, attributed and graded according to NCICTCAE criteria. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data will be collected per the study flow chart. Response will be evaluated every 2 months using RECIST criteria. Planned secondary analyses will include ORR, duration of response, PFS and OS.

    • 6. Presence of measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria
    • 7. Patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1 (Appendix A: Performance Status Criteria).
    • 8. Written informed consent must be obtained prior to any screening procedures.
    • 9. Normal ECG defined as the following: QTcF at screening \<450 ms (male subjects), \<460 ms (female subjects)
    • 10. Before enrollment, a woman must be either
      • 1. Not of childbearing potential: postmenopausal (\>45 years of age with amenorrhea for at least 12 months or any age with amenorrhea for at least 6 months and a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level \>40 IU/mL); permanently sterilized (eg, tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy); or otherwise be incapable of pregnancy.
