Summary

This trial is designed to compare multiple investigational regimens against standard of care in metastatic pancreatic cancer patients, in order to determine which, if any, patients benefit from each investigational arm. Secondary objectives include determining short- and long-term safety signals of each investigational arm, as well as progression-free survival and response rates.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, including several subtypes but excluding neuroendocrine tumors. Participants must be able to swallow pills and adhere to the study schedule, have no severe concurrent diseases or second active cancers, and not be pregnant. They should have acceptable organ function and performance status, agree to provide tissue samples, and can't have had recent major surgery or cancer treatment.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing multiple treatments against standard care for advanced pancreatic cancer: mFOLFIRINOX; Gemcitabine with nab-paclitaxel; Pamrevlumab combined with these two drugs; Canakinumab and Spartalizumab also combined with them; plus an experimental drug called SM-88. It aims to find out which improves survival best.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions from chemotherapy like nausea, fatigue, hair loss, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. Immunotherapy may cause immune system-related inflammation affecting various organs.

Trial Design

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: pamrevlumab (FibroGen)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Arm is closed to recruitment. Experimental: Pamrevlumab in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. Participants enrolled to this treatment arm will receive treatment with pamrevlumab in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel are FDA approved therapies for metastatic pancreatic cancer and will be supplied or obtained according to local clinical study agreements and in accordance with local guidelines.
Group II: Experimental: SM-88Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Arm is closed to recruitment. 460 mg (2 capsules) twice daily of a 28-day cycle along with the administration of methoxsalen, phenytoin and sirolimus. All four agents (SM-88, methoxsalen, phenytoin, and sirolimus) should be dosed with approximately 240 mL (8 fl. oz.) of water in the morning. All four agents should be taken together consistently. SM-88 used with MPS should ideally be taken approximately 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.
Group III: Canakinumab and SpartalizumabExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Arm is closed to recruitment. Canakinumab and Spartalizumab in Combination with Nab-Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine. Participants enrolled to this treatment arm will receive treatment with Canakinumab and Spartalizumab in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine.
Group IV: Gemcitabine combined with nab-paclitaxelActive Control1 Intervention
Arm is closed to recruitment. The following are recommended parameters for infusion timing and sequence, although institutional variation in the administration of the regimen are permitted as long as drug dosing and modification guidelines are followed.
Group V: mFOLFIRINOXActive Control1 Intervention
Arm is closed to recruitment. Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, Leucovorin 400 mg/m2, Irinotecan 150 mg/m2, 5-Fluorouracil 2400 mg/m2 46-48 hour infusion
