Combination Immunotherapy Plus Standard-of-Care Chemotherapy Versus Standard-of-Care Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer (NCT04390399)
Open-label, Randomized, Comparative Phase 2 Study of Combination Immunotherapy Plus Standard-of-care Chemotherapy Versus Standard-of-care Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a phase 2, three-cohort (2 randomized and 1 single-arm), open-label study to evaluate the comparative efficacy and overall safety of standard-of-care chemotherapy versus standard-of-care chemotherapy in combination with aldoxorubicin HCl, N-803, and PD-L1 t-haNK in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Each treatment setting (ie, first line maintenance, second line, or third line or greater) will be evaluated independently as a separate cohort.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (10 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (30 items).

- Serious uncontrolled concomitant disease that would contraindicate the use of the investigational drug used in this study or that would put the subject at high risk for treatment-related complications.
- Systemic autoimmune disease (eg, lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Addison's disease, autoimmune disease associated with lymphoma).
- For Cohort A only: tumors harboring germline BRCA1/2 mutations.
- For Cohort B only: previous treatment with liposomal irinotecan for advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
- History of organ transplant requiring immunosuppression.
- History of or active inflammatory bowel disease (eg, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis).
- Inadequate organ function, evidenced by the following laboratory results:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 1000 cells/mm3.
- Platelet count \< 100,000 cells/mm3.
- Hemoglobin \< 9 g/dL.
