About this trial

This is an open-label, phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (NAI, sotevtamab, and zabadinostat in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) followed by resection and adjuvant immunotherapy for participants with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Eligible participants will undergo endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biopsies of the primary pancreatic tumor within 7 days of enrollment and prior to study day 1. EUS-guided biopsies will be used for histopathological examination to give clinical diagnostic information (as SoC) and will be stored in an ethically approved tissue bank.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years old.

Able to understand and provide a signed informed consent that fulfills the relevant Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) guidelines.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed PDAC that is confined to the pancreas.

Disqualifiers

Resectable PDAC, meeting the following criteria upon CT/MRI: (a)No superior mesenteric vein (SMV) or portal vein (PV) distortion; (b) Clear fat planes around superior mesenteric artery (SMA), celiac artery (CA), and common hepatic artery (CHA).

Participants for whom an operation is not considered in the participant's best interest (eg, due to comorbidity).

Histologically or cytologically confirmed pancreatic tumor that is not adenocarcinoma.

CA19-9 > 1,000 U/mL.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

Number of participants experiencing ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) and ≥1 serious adverse event (SAE), graded per NCI CTCAE v5.0. Adverse events will be coded using MedDRA. Analyses will be performed in the safety population (all participants receiving ≥1 dose of study treatment).

Time frame
From first dose through 30 days after last dose (SAEs and immune-related AEs followed for 90 days after last dose); survival/safety follow-up through 104 weeks (2 years) post last dose.
2

Clinically important changes in laboratory tests and vital signs

Number and percent of participants with protocol-defined clinically important laboratory abnormalities (hematology, chemistry including liver/renal, coagulation) or vital-sign changes that meet action criteria or result in dose modification, treatment interruption, or discontinuation; summarized by grade and action taken.

Time frame
Baseline (pre-dose) through 30 days after last dose (clinically important labs/vitals and related actions); SAE/irAE follow-up 90 days; long-term follow-up through 104 weeks (2 years) post last dose.

Secondary outcomes

1

RFS, defined as time from surgical resection to disease recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, by RECIST v1.1.

Recurrence-free survival (RFS) measured by RECIST v1.1: time (days) from surgical resection to first documented disease recurrence (radiographic per RECIST v1.1, confirmed per protocol) or death from any cause. Tumor assessments per protocol imaging schedule (every 8 weeks ±1 week) and iRECIST guidance for immune-related events; participants initiating new anticancer therapy or completing follow-up without recurrence are censored at last documented recurrence-free date. Report Kaplan-Meier curve, median RFS and 95% CI, and number (%) of events and censored observations.

Time frame
From date of surgical resection until documented disease recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first; participants censored at last disease assessment or at 104 weeks (2 years) post last dose.
2

R0 resection rate, defined as the percentage of cases having a pathologically complete resection with a negative resection margin.

Percentage of participants with a pathologically confirmed R0 resection (complete resection with negative margins). Report n and %, and exact 95% Clopper-Pearson CI.

Time frame
At time of surgical resection (performed within 8 months of first study dose).
3

ORR by RECIST v1.1

Objective response rate (confirmed CR or PR per RECIST v1.1, confirmation ≥4 weeks after initial response). Report n and %, 2-sided exact 95% CI, and best overall response distribution.

Time frame
From first study treatment until documented objective response or censoring; tumor assessments every 8 weeks (±1 week) through last treatment dose and per follow-up schedule through 104 weeks.
4

DOR by RECIST v1.1.

Duration of response for participants with confirmed CR/PR by RECIST v1.1. Analyze by Kaplan-Meier; present median DOR and 95% CI, KM curve, and numbers at risk.

Time frame
For responders, from date of first documented CR/PR to date of documented progression or death (any cause); follow until event or censoring through 104 weeks.
