A patient will be eligible for the study if all the following criteria are met:
1. Must be 18 years of age or older.
2. Must have histologically confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
3. Must have Stage III or IV disease (see Appendix 1).
4. Must have received one line of systemic chemotherapy in advanced setting with or without targeted agents, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy for treatment of advanced pancreatic
adenocarcinoma. NOTE: patients whose disease progresses on, or within 3 months, of neo(adjuvant) chemotherapy may be considered eligible
5. Must have radiological evidence of disease progression following most recent prior treatment, defined as appearance of any new lesion or increase of >20% of one or more existing lesions.
6. Must have measurable lesion(s) per RECIST version 1.1 by CT scan with contrast (or MRI, if the patient is allergic to CT contrast media).
- Measurable disease may be in the field of prior irradiation; however, at least 4 weeks must have elapsed between the completion of radiation therapy and the baseline scan documenting disease status.
- Bone disease is considered radiologically measurable only if there is at least a 50% lytic component.
NOTE: Bone disease consisting of blastic lesion only is not measurable.
7. Archival or fresh tumor tissue must be available for evaluating relevant biomarkers. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded [FFPE] block preferred, or a minimum of 10 unstained FFPE slides of one archived block is required. NOTE: Cytology samples from fine needle aspirates or brushing biopsies are not sufficient. NOTE: if archival tissue is unavailable and an elective biopsy can’t be scheduled due to COVID, this will be waived
8. Must have adequate performance status: - ECOG Performance Status (PS) score of 0, or - ECOG score 1 and score =80 on Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) scale. NOTE: Must have body mass index (BMI) =18.5 kg/m2 (obtained <14 days prior to randomization.
9. Must have life expectancy of >12 weeks according to the Investigator’s clinical judgment.
10. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and additional negative pregnancy test prior to first dose. Males and females of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during treatment and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. These include, but not limited to:
a. combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: i. intravaginal ii. transdermal b. progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: i. injectable ii. implantable
c. intrauterine device (IUD) d. bilateral tubal occlusion
e. vasectomised partner f. sexual abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments) is intended. g. males with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use condoms
NOTE: Since an indirect interaction between components of the oral contraceptives and ASNase cannot be ruled out, oral contraceptives are not considered acceptable as contraceptive methods in the current clinical trial. A method other than oral contraception should be used in women of childbearing potential.
NOTE: All chemotherapeutic agents may be teratogenic and excreted in breast milk. Patients who are breast feeding should consider alternative methods.
11. Must have adequate laboratory parameters at
A patient is not eligible to participate in the study if any of the following criteria are met:
1. Resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma at the time of signing the informed consent.
2. Histology other than pancreatic adenocarcinoma (for example, but not inclusive: neuroendocrine, adenosquamous).
3. More than one line of prior treatment in advanced or metastatic setting.
4. Patient has experienced medically significant acute decline in clinical status including
a. Decline in ECOG PS to >1 (or KPS <70) between baseline visit and within 72 hours prior to randomization.
b. Weight loss of =10% during screening.
5. Presence of active or symptomatic untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases.
NOTE: Patients with asymptomatic or stable CNS metastases are eligible, provided that the CNS metastases are radiologically and clinically stable, and the patient is off high-dose steroid treatment for at least one month prior to randomization.
6. Prior radiotherapy to the only area of measurable disease.
NOTE: Patients must have completed treatment and recovered from all acute treatmentrelated toxicities prior to administration of the first dose of eryaspase or chemotherapy.
7. Bone as the only site of metastatic disease from pancreatic cancer (bone-only disease).
8. History of recent clinical pancreatitis, according to revised Atlanta criteria, within 3 months of randomization.
NOTE: The revised Atlanta classification [1] requires that two or more of the following criteria be met for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis: (a) abdominal pain suggestive of pancreatitis, (b) serum amylase or lipase level =3 x ULN, or (c) characteristic imaging findings using CT or MRI.
9. Neurosensory neuropathy >Grade 2 at baseline.
10. Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
11. History of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or active infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C. NOTE: Patients with unknown status of hepatitis B or C must be tested and declared negative before randomization.
12. Hypersensitivity to any of the components of the chemotherapy or asparaginase.
NOTE: Patients known to be homozygous for UGT1A1*28 who are assigned to an irinotecan-containing regimen must have the initial irinotecan dose reduced unless they have previously tolerated full doses of irinotecan. Subjects whose UGT1A1 status is not known but are being considered for irinotecan-based chemotherapy must be screened for UGT1A1*28 allele unless they have previously tolerated full doses of irinotecan before enrollment into the trial and must have the initial irinotecan dose reduced if demonstrated to be homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele. NOTE: Patients assigned to the irinotecan/5 FU arms in the study should not have dihydropyridine dehydrogenase deficiency (DPD). Patients whose DPD status is unknown at time of screening should be tested before enrollment in the irinotecan/5 FU arm unless they have previously tolerated full doses of 5 FU.
13. Patients who have received live or live attenuated vaccines within 3 weeks of randomization.
14. History of other malignancies
NOTE: Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or curatively treated in-situ cancer of the cervix may be eligible.
NOTE: Patients successfully treated for other malignancies and are disease-free for at least 5 years may be eligible.
15. Any other severe acute or chronic condition/treatments that may increase the risk of study participation including:
a. History of abdominal fistula, gastro
