Testing the Addition of a New Anti-cancer Drug, M3814 (Peposertib), to the Usual Radiotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (NCT04172532)
A Phase 1/2 Study of M3814 (Peposertib) in Combination With Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase I/II trial studies the safety, side effects and best dose of M3814 and to see how well it works when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). M3814 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Giving M3814 and hypofractionated radiation therapy together may be safe, tolerable and/or more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

🧪 Interventions in This Study
📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Patients who have completed induction chemotherapy less than 2 weeks or more than 8 weeks prior to study enrollment
- Patients who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities \> grade 1) with the exception of alopecia and neuropathy grade =\< 2
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to M3814 (peposertib)
- Evidence of distant metastatic disease
- More than 1 line of chemotherapy for the treatment of localized pancreatic cancer, unless the change in treatment was made only for toxicity
- Prior abdominal radiation
- Active inflammatory bowel disease or connective tissue disease
- Inability to swallow oral medications or gastrointestinal disease limiting absorption of oral agents
- History of anaphylactic reaction to iodinated intravenous (IV) contrast required for radiation simulation. Patients with mild reactions may be enrolled, but must receive premedications for contrast allergy prior to imaging
- Patients who cannot discontinue concomitant medications or herbal supplements that are strong inhibitors or strong inducers of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes CYP3A4/5, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. Concomitant use of substrates with a narrow therapeutic index that are metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, and CYP3A4/5 are also excluded.
- Use caution with other substrates of CYP3A4/5, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8 and substrates of P-gp, BCRP, OCT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, and MATE-2K with a narrow therapeutic index. Close monitoring is advised. Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated medical reference. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product.
