Details and patient eligibility

About

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new drug plus standard treatment compared with standard treatment alone in people with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • is the new drug plus standard treatment safe and tolerable
  • is the new drug plus standard treatment more effective than standard treatment

Participants will:

  • Visit the clinic three times every 28 days for treatment and tests
  • Have CT or MRI scans every 8 weeks while on treatment

Full description

This is a Phase 1b/2a, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm, randomized study evaluating a single intravenous push of certepetide followed by a continuous infusion of certepetide over 4 hours when added to standard of care (SoC) versus two intravenous pushes of certepetide given 4 hours apart when added to SoC, versus SoC alone in people with previously untreated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC).

The study will consist of a screening period, a run-in period, a treatment period, an end-of-treatment follow-up visit, and a long-term follow up period.

Participants who provide informed consent will be screened for eligibility within 28 days prior to beginning the study treatment run-in period. Once eligibility is confirmed, participants will be randomized to one of the three treatment groups.

During the 3-day run-in period, participants will only receive the LSTA1 or placebo components of their randomized treatment regimen. After the 3-day run-in, Cycle 1 of treatment will commence. Tumor scans will be performed every 8 weeks (56 days ± 7 days) while on treatment.
