Conditions
Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02732938
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

The purpose of this Phase 1b/2 study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PF-04136309 in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine, characterize the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and overall safety profile of escalated doses of PF-04136309 and the associated schedule, determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and to assess the enhancement of efficacy of PF-04136309 in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine versus nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine + placebo in terms of Progression Free Survival.

Detailed Description

The study has 2 parts:

Phase 1b (dose-finding cohorts) will be open label as patients will receive ascending doses of PF-04136309 in combination with nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine. The observation period for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) will be from Day 1 to Day 28. Pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of PF-04136309 will also be assessed. The criteria for dose escalation will be based on a modified toxicity probability interval (mTPI) method. After evaluating the safety and other results (eg, PK) from patients enrolled in the dose escalation cohorts, a dose level will be selected to be further evaluated as the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D). A minimum of 6 patients, up to 12 patients, will be treated at this dose level to establish it as the RP2D. To further evaluate safety and pharmacodynamics, the number of patients enrolled during this part of the study (Phase 1b) may be N up to 20. The study will stop if all PF-04136309 doses explored appear to be overly toxic.

Phase 2 randomized double blinded placebo control. Approximately 92 patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive the RP2D of PF-04136309 in combination with nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine (ARM A; n=46) versus nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine + placebo (ARM B; n=46). The primary objective will be the enhancement of efficacy in terms of PFS.

Patients will be treated as long as they are clinically benefiting from investigational product without unacceptable toxicity, objective disease progression, or withdrawal of consent.

DR was defined as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. DR data were to be censored on the day following the date of the last on treatment (including 28 day follow-up period after last dose) tumor assessment documenting absence of progressive disease for participants who did not have objective tumor progression and who did not die due to any cause while on treatment or who were given anti-tumor treatment other than the study treatment prior to observing objective tumor progression.
