The Canadian Cancer Trials Group PA.7 trial: Results from the safety run in of a randomized phase II study of gemcitabine (GEM) and nab-paclitaxel (Nab-P) versus GEM, nab-P, durvalumab (D), and tremelimumab (T) as first-line therapy in metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC).

Background: GEM and Nab-P is a standard first line therapy for mPDAC based on the MPACT Trial. D is a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) that inhibits binding of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) to its receptor. T is a mAb directed against the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4). PA.7 is designed to evaluate whether combining PD-L1 and CTLA-4 inhibition with GEM and Nab-P increases treatment efficacy. Methods: This randomized phase II study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02879318) is assessing the efficacy and safety of GEM and Nab-P vs. GEM, Nab-P, D, and T in patients (pts) with mPDAC (n = 190). Pts with untreated mPDAC and good performance status (ECOG PS 0-1) are eligible. A safety run in was planned for 10 pts receiving GEM, Nab-P, D and T. The study is then planned to randomize pts in a 2:1 ratio to receive GEM (1000mg/m2 D1, 8, 15); Nab-P (125mg/m2 D1, 8, 15); D (1500 mg) D1 q 28 days and T (75 mg) D1 for first 4 cycles vs. GEM and Nab-P alone. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS); secondary endpoints include progression free survival (PFS), safety, overall response rate and quality of life. Results: 11 pts were enrolled in the safety run in (2 final pts enrolled on the same day). Median (Med) age = 59; 9 male/ 2 female; 2 ECOG 0/ 9 ECOG 1; no pts had prior adjuvant therapy. Med follow-up was 8.3 months at the time of data lock. Med number of treatment cycles was 6 (3-10). The most common Grade 3 or greater adverse events included fatigue (27%), anemia (36%), abnormal WBC (27%), hyponatremia (27%), hypoalbuminemia (45%), and abnormal lipase (45%). 1 pt (9.1%) experienced grade 3 colitis. 8/11 pts (73%) had a partial response, with the med duration of 7.4 months. Disease control rate was 100%. Med PFS was 7.9 months (95% C.I. 3.5-9.2 months). 6-month survival rate was 80% (95% C.I 40.9%-94.6%). Med OS has not been reached. Conclusions: The combination of GEM, Nab-P, D and T was well tolerated and promising efficacy signals were noted. The originally designed randomized phase II study is ongoing, and an international randomized phase III trial is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT02879318
