QUILT-3.060: NANT Pancreatic Cancer Vaccine: Molecularly Informed Integrated Immunotherapy in Subjects With Pancreatic Cancer Who Have Progressed on or After Standard-of-care Therapy

Registration Number
NCT03329248
Lead Sponsor
ImmunityBio, Inc.
Brief Summary

This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with pancreatic cancer who have progressed on or after previous SoC chemotherapy. Phase 2 will be based on Simon's two-stage optimal design.

Detailed Description

Treatment will be administered in two phases, an induction and a maintenance phase, as described below. Subjects will continue induction treatment for up to 1 year. Treatment in the study will be discontinued if the subject experiences progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity (not corrected with dose reduction), withdraws consent, or if the Investigator feels it is no longer in the subject's best interest to continue treatment. Those who have a complete response (CR) in the induction phase will enter the maintenance phase of the study. Subjects may remain on the maintenance phase of the study for up to 1 year. Treatment will continue in the maintenance phase until the subject experiences PD or unacceptable toxicity (not corrected with dose reduction), withdraws consent, or if the Investigator feels it is no longer in the subject's best interest to continue treatment. The maximum time on study treatment, including both the induction and maintenance phases, is 2 years.

Inclusion Criteria
  1. Age ≥ 18 years old.
  2. Able to understand and provide a signed informed consent that fulfills the relevant IRB or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) guidelines.
  3. Histologically-confirmed pancreatic cancer with progression on or after SoC therapy.
  4. ECOG performance status of 0 to 2.
  5. Have at least 1 measurable lesion of ≥ 1.5 cm.
  6. Must have a recent formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor biopsy specimen following the conclusion of the most recent anticancer treatment and be willing to release the specimen. If an historic specimen is not available, the subject must be willing to undergo a biopsy during the screening period, if considered safe by the Investigator. If safety concerns preclude collection of a biopsy during the screening period, a tumor biopsy specimen collected prior to the conclusion of the most recent anticancer treatment may be used.
  7. Must be willing to provide blood samples prior to the start of treatment on this study.
  8. Must be willing to provide a tumor biopsy specimen 8 weeks after the start of treatment, if considered safe by the Investigator.
  9. Ability to attend required study visits and return for adequate follow-up, as required by this protocol.
  10. 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 for up to 1 year after completion of therapy, and non-sterile male subjects must agree to use a condom for up to 4 months after treatment. Effective contraception includes surgical sterilization (eg, vasectomy, tubal ligation), two forms of barrier methods (eg, condom, diaphragm) used with spermicide, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and abstinence.
Exclusion Criteria

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs)30 days after last dose, up to 2 years (up to 1 year in each treatment phase) or until they experience confirmed progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity, withdrawn consent, or if the Investigator feels it is no longer in their best interest.

Graded Using the National Cancer Institute(NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Objective Response Rate by irRCTumors will be assessed at screening, and tumor response will be assessed every 8 weeks during the induction phase, and every 12 weeks during the maintenance phase until confirmed disease progression, up to 211 days.
Objective Response Rate by RECIST Version 1.1Tumors will be assessed at screening, and tumor response will be assessed every 8 weeks during the induction phase, and every 12 weeks during the maintenance phase until disease progression, up to 211 days.
Progression Free Survival by RECIST Version 1.1.Tumors will be assessed at screening, and tumor response will be assessed every 8 weeks during the induction phase, and every 12 weeks during the maintenance phase until disease progression or death
Progression Free Survival by irRCTumors will be assessed at screening, and tumor response will be assessed every 8 weeks during the induction phase, and every 12 weeks during the maintenance phase until confirmed disease progression or death
Overall SurvivalTumors will be assessed at screening, and tumor response will be assessed every 8 weeks during the induction phase, and every 12 weeks during the maintenance phase until death
Duration of Response (DOR) by RECIST Version 1.1 and irRCTumors were assessed at screening, and tumor response will be assessed every 8 weeks during the induction phase, and every 12 weeks during the maintenance phase until confirmed disease progression, up to 211 days

DOR was be defined as the time from the date of first response (PR or CR) to the date of disease progression or death (any cause) whichever occurs first. Responding subjects completed study follow-up or initiating a new anticancer therapy prior to documented PD were censored in the DOR analysis at the last known date the subject was progression free prior completing follow-up or initiating the new therapy.

Disease Control Rate (Confirmed Complete Response, Partial Response, or Stable Disease Lasting for at Least 2 Months) by RECIST Version 1.1.Tumors were assessed at screening, and tumor response will be assessed every 8 weeks during the induction phase, and every 12 weeks during the maintenance phase until confirmed disease progression, up to 211 days

Disease control is defined as subjects with a confirmed CR, PR, or SD lasting for at least 2 months.

Quality of Life by Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO)Up to 9 months

PROs were assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Hepatobiliary (FACT-Hep) questionnaire. The FACT-Hep is compilation of general questions divided into five QOL subscales:

Physical Well-Being - Scores ranging from 0-28 Social/Family Well-Being - Scores ranging from 0-28 Emotional Well-Being - Scores ranging from 0-24 Functional Well-Being - Scores ranging from 0-28 Additional Concerns - Scores ranging from 0-72 It uses 5-point Likert-type response categories ranging from 0 = 'not at all' to 4 = 'very much'.

The higher scales and subscales indicate better quality of life. Negatively worded items were reverse scored. If the missing for each subscale was less than 50%, the prorating scores were computed for the subscale.

Disease Control Rate (Confirmed Complete Response, Partial Response, or Stable Disease Lasting for at Least 2 Months) by irRCTumors were assessed at screening, and tumor response will be assessed every 8 weeks during the induction phase, and every 12 weeks during the maintenance phase until confirmed disease progression, up to 211 days

Disease control is defined as subjects with a confirmed CR, PR, or SD lasting for at least 2 months.
