CA-4948 Added to Standard Chemotherapy to Treat Metastatic or Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of emavusertib (CA-4948) in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in treating patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). CA-4948 is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of abnormal proteins called interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) that signal cells to multiply. This may help keep cancer cells from growing. The usual approach for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is treatment with chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill cancer cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called anti-microtubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Nab-paclitaxel is an albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation of paclitaxel which may have fewer side effects and work better than other forms of paclitaxel. Giving CA-4948 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel may shrink or stabilize metastatic or unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Therefore, the investigators propose an open label phase I/II clinical trial of ONT01 with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma prior to future studies incorporating anti-PD1 checkpoint immunotherapy.

A Study to Assess Intravenous (IV) Telisotuzumab Adizutecan in Combination With Fluorouracil, Folinic Acid, and Oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) Compared to Standard of Care in Adult Participants With First-Line Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of the body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The pancreas is a gland behind the stomach that produces a digestive fluid that is emptied into the intestines through tube shaped ducts. Pancreatic cancer often starts in these ducts. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity of telisotuzumab adizutecan when given in combination with fluorouracil, folinic acid, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) to treat adult participants with pancreatic ductal cancer. Telisotuzumab adizutecan is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This study will be divided into two phases, with the first phase (Phase 2) treating participants with increasing doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan with FOLFOX. Participants will then be randomized into 3 groups called treatment arms. Two groups will receive telisotuzumab adizutecan with FOLFOX with different optimized doses. One group will receive standard of care (SOC) - fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. In the second phase (Phase 3), participants will be randomized into 2 arms to receive either the optimal dose of telisotuzumab adizutecan (from the previous phase) with FOLFOLX, or SOC. Approximately 900 participants with PDAC will be enrolled in this study in approximately 200 sites worldwide. Phase 2 includes a dose escalation stage and a dose optimization stage. In the dose escalation stage, participants will receive escalating doses of Intravenous (IV) telisotuzumab adizutecan + FOLFOX. In the dose optimization stage, participants will receive 1 of 2 doses of IV telisotuzumab adizutecan with FOLFOX or SOC. At the start of Phase 3, participants will receive the optimal dose of IV telisotuzumab adizutecan with FOLFOX or SOC. The study will run for a duration of approximately 6 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.

OMO-103 for the Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

This early phase I trial studies the biological activity of OMO-103 in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). OMO-103 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This trial may help researchers determine how exposure to OMO-103 changes pancreatic tumor cells.

Pegcetacoplan in Combination With Modified FOLFIRINOX for the Treatment of Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

This phase I/II trial tests the effect of pegcetacoplan in combination with oxaliplatin, irinotecan, leucovorin, and fluorouracil (mFOLFIRINOX) in treating patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Pegcetacoplan works by targeting the immune complement process, a part of the immune system that defends against bacteria and may limit tumor progression and improve the immune system's response against tumor cells. Oxaliplatin is in a class of medications called platinum-containing antineoplastic agents. It damages the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. Irinotecan is in a class of antineoplastic medications called topoisomerase I inhibitors. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill tumor cells. Leucovorin is a drug used to lessen the toxic effects of substances that block the action of folic acid. Leucovorin is a form of folic acid. It is a type of chemoprotective agent and a type of chemosensitizing agent. Fluorouracil stops cells from making DNA and it may kill tumor cells. It is a type of antimetabolite. Giving pegcetacoplan in combination with mFOLFIRINOX may be safe, tolerable, and/or effecting in treating patients with metastatic PDAC. This trial also evaluates the effect of pegcetacoplan on the incidence of major thrombotic events and the resulting complications. Thrombosis is a common complication in patients with PDAC. Thrombosis occurs when blood clots block veins or arteries. Complications of thrombosis, such as stroke or heart attack, can be life-threatening. Giving pegcetacoplan may help prevent blood clots from forming and decrease the risk of major thrombotic events.

Personalized Peptide Vaccine in Treating Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer or Colorectal Cancer

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give personalized peptide vaccine in patients with pancreatic or colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Personalized peptide vaccine is a vaccine developed from patient's own tumor cells and blood in order to use as a biological therapy. Biological therapies, such as personalized peptide vaccine may attack tumor cells and stop them from growing or kill them.

One group of participants will only receive chemotherapy while a second group of participants will receive botensilimab and chemotherapy.

Hyperpolarized 13C MRI to Predict Response in Pancreatic Cancer

This study evaluates an investigational scan called hyperpolarized carbon-13 pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing treatment response in patients with pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDA) that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). MRI is a standard scan that helps doctors see tumors, organs, tissue, and bone. Standard contrast agents (e.g., gadolinium) are sometimes used to help make the scan images brighter, or easier to see. Hyperpolarized carbon-13 pyruvate is an experimental contrast agent that is different from standard MRI contrast in that it provides information on how a tumor processes nutrients. Hyperpolarized carbon-13 pyruvate MRI scans may work better than MRI with standard contrast agents in predicting how PDA tumors respond to treatment.
