Brief Summary

A non-comparative randomized phase 2 study, evaluating the efficacy of 5-FU + NALIRI and 5-FU + NALIRINOX for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), progressive after Gemcitabine-Abraxane or Gemcitabine monotherapy

Detailed Description

Based on the results of previous studies, the sponsor aims to assess efficacy and safety of this triplet (irinotecan, 5FU/LV and oxaliplatin) in second-line treatment in fit patients (ECOG 0-1) metastatic PDAC.

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of NALIRINOX (= investigational arm) and NALIRI (= standard care arm) in terms of Progression-Free Survival Rate (PFSR).

As secondary objectives, the following will be evaluated in both arms:

* Safety/toxicity and tolerability profile according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.

* Progression free survival (PFS)

* Overall response rate and duration of response as assessed by imaging (RECIST 1.1) and tumor markers

* Overall survival (OS)

Arm A NALIRINanoliposomal irinotecanCycle length: 14 days Day 1: * Leucovorin: 400 mg/m² IV - Dilute in 250 mL DSW and administer over two hours * Liposomal irinotecan (FBE): 70 mg/m² IV\* - Dilute in 500 mL DSW and administer over 90 min * 5 FU: 2400 mg/m² IV - Dilute in 500 to 1000 mL 0,9% NS of DSW and administer as a continuous IV infusion over 46 hours. To accommodate an ambulatory pump for outpatient treatment can be administered undiluted (50 mg/mL) or the total dose diluted in 100 to 150 mL NS. * Patients who are known to be homozygous for UGT1A1\*28 should start treatment with 50 mg/m2 ONIVYDE.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Efficacy of NALIRINOX and NALIRI through Progression-Free Survival at D85at day 85 from randomization

NALIRINOX is the investigational arm and NALIRI is the standard care arm. The efficacy will be assessed in terms of the Progression-Free Survival Rate (PFSR). This is defined as the proportion of patients alive and free of progression at day 85.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Duration of disease controlFrom date of first study treatment administration until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years after End of Treatment

Disease control is defined as a best response of either CR, PR, or SD (CR+PR+SD).

Duration of responseTime from measurement criteria are first met for CR/PR to either the first time disease progression is documented or death (for not progressed patients who deceased within 60 days from last tumor assessment) until maximum 5 years after EOT

The duration of response will be censored on the date of last known tumor assessment for not progressed patients lost to follow up or deceased prior to the next planned tumor assessment (within 60 days). Not evaluable patients at one time point assessment will be censored at the date of last known assessment.

Safety/toxicity and tolerability profil: Severety of adverse eventsuntil 14 days after End of Treatment

Adverse events and Serious Adverse events will be assessed during the study treatment and until 14 days later. Severety will be graded according to the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 and relationship to the study medication will be defined.

Safety/toxicity and tolerability profil: ECOGuntil 14 days after End of Treatment

WHO ECOG performance status (PS) will be defined prior to each administration of study medication and at the 15 days follow-up visit following the ECOG Performance Status Scale.

Safety/toxicity and tolerability profil: Laboratory assessmentsuntil 14 days after End of Treatment

Standard laboratory safety assessments: They are mandatory prior to each administration of study medication and at the 15 days follow-up visit.

Clinically significant vs not clinically significant.

Safety/toxicity and tolerability profil: review of body systemsuntil 14 days after End of Treatment

A full review of body systems will be performed: heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, body temperature, height, weight and ECG (screening visit only, unless clinically indicated).

Clinically significant versus not clinically significant

Progression Free Survival and sensitivity analysis: Effect of previous chemotherapy on prognostic factorsFrom date of first study treatment administration until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years after End of Treatment

The effect of potential prognostic factors will be assessed through sensitivity analyses, including:

* Previous chemotherapy: gemcitabine alone vs gem-abx

Progression Free Survival and sensitivity analysis: effect of ECOG on prognostic factorsFrom date of first study treatment administration until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years after End of Treatment

The effect of potential prognostic factors will be assessed through sensitivity analyses, including:

* WHO ECOG performance status (0 versus 1)

Progression Free Survival and sensitivity analysis: Effect of Center on prognostic factorsFrom date of first study treatment administration until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years after End of Treatment.

The effect of potential prognostic factors will be assessed through sensitivity analyses, including:

* Investigational Center

Progression Free Survival and sensitivity analysis: Effect of tumor location on prognostic factorsFrom date of first study treatment administration until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years after End of Treatment

The effect of potential prognostic factors will be assessed through sensitivity analyses, including:

* Location of tumor (head of the pancreas versus other location)

Objective tumor response: Rate of complete response and partial responseperformed within 28 days before start therapy, 3 times every 6 weeks and afterwards every 8 weeks

Tumor (response) evaluation will be performed according to RECIST criteria v. 1.1 (CT scan thorax, abdomen and pelvis or MRI abdomen and pelvis + CT chest) based upon the investigator's assessment. Overall response is defined as a best response of either CR or PR (CR+PR).

Duration of overall survivalTime from Day 1 of therapy to death until maximum 5 years after End of Treatment

For patients who are still alive at the time of study analysis or who are lost to follow up, survival will be censored at the last recorded date that the patient is known to be alive or at the date of data cut-off, whatever occurs earlier.
