About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer focused on measuring AB680, Zimberelimab, Pancreatic cancer

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Capable of giving signed informed consent
  2. Male or female participants ≥ 18 years of age at the time of screening
  3. Negative serum pregnancy test at screening and prior to dosing on Cycle 1 Day 1; negative serum or urine pregnancy test on the first day of each subsequent treatment period
  4. Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma
  5. Naïve to any prior treatment, including chemotherapy, biological therapy, or targeted therapy for metastatic disease

    1. Prior adjuvant therapy (including chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma is permitted if neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy was completed at least 6 months prior to study enrollment. Prior adjuvant therapy may include Nab- paclitaxel or gemcitabine
    2. Participants initially diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who have undergone chemotherapy then resection and had no evidence of disease are eligible if relapse of metastatic disease has occurred and if the last dose of chemotherapy was received more than 6 months before study entry
  6. Must have at least 1 measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. The measurable lesion must be outside of a radiation field if the participant received prior radiation
  7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1
  8. Confirmation that an archival tissue sample is available; if not, a new biopsy of a tumor must be obtained
  9. Immunosuppressive doses of systemic medications, such as corticosteroids or absorbed topical corticosteroids (doses > 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) must be discontinued at least 2 weeks (14 days) before investigational product administration. Physiologic doses of corticosteroids (≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent) or short pulses of corticosteroids (≤ 3 days) may be permitted
  10. Prior surgery that required general anesthesia or other major surgery as defined by the Investigator must be completed at least 4 weeks before investigational product administration

  2. Underlying medical conditions that, in the Investigator's or Sponsor's opinion, will make the administration of investigational product hazardous (eg, interstitial lung disease, active infections requiring antibiotics, recent hospitalization with unresolved symptoms
  3. Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial
  4. Any active autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease or history of a syndrome that required systemic steroids or immunosuppressive medications, except for vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy. Participants with asthma who require intermittent use of bronchodilators (such as albuterol) will not be excluded from this study
  5. Prior malignancy active within the previous year except for locally curable cancers that have been apparently cured, such as basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, breast, or prostate cancer

Arm Description

Dose escalation is a 3+3 design, including a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) evaluation period. The dose expansion dose level will be determined in this part with escalating doses of AB680 in combination with Zimberelimab at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and the standard nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine chemotherapy regimen in participants with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Participants with advance pancreatic cancer, naïve to any prior treatment will receive AB680 (at the RP2D identified during dose escalation) combined with Zimberelimab and the standard nab-paclitaxel (NP) and gemcitabine (Gem) (NP/Gem) chemotherapy regimen

Participants with advance pancreatic cancer who are naïve to any prior treatment will receive AB680 (at the RP2D identified during dose escalation) and the standard NP/Gem chemotherapy regimen.

Participants with advance pancreatic cancer who have received 1 prior line of treatment will receive AB680 (at the RP2D identified during dose escalation) combined with Zimberelimab and NP-Gem chemotherapy regimen.

Participants with advance pancreatic cancer naïve to any prior treatment will receive AB680 combined with Zimberelimab and NP-Gem chemotherapy regimen.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion, with a gated randomization portion, study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and clinical activity of AB680 in combination with Zimberelimab (AB122), nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine in participants with advanced pancreatic cancer.
Detailed Description
Dose escalation of AB680 in combination with Zimberelimab (AB122), nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine will be assessed in participants with advanced pancreatic cancer. In this dose escalation combination study, participants with advanced pancreatic cancer will receive escalating doses of AB680 in combination with Zimberelimab at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine at standard doses. AB680, Zimberelimab, nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine are all administered via IV infusion. In the dose expansion portion of the study in front-line (1L) pancreatic patients, participants will receive AB680 at the RP2D determined from the dose escalation study in combination with Zimberelimab at the RP2D and nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine at standard doses or AB680 at the RP2D in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine at standard doses. In the dose-expansion portion of the study in second-line (2L) pancreatic patients, participants will receive AB680 at the RP2D determined from the dose-escalation study in combination with Zimberelimab at the RP2D and nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine at standard doses.
