Endpoints
Treatment-naive patients with metastatic PDAC will be enrolled in Cohort 1. The cohort
will consist of a safety run-in phase followed by a randomized phase with two arms.
Safety Run-In Phase
The safety run-in phase will allow evaluation of the preliminary safety profile of
RO6958688 and atezolizumab in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine prior
to initiating the randomized phase of the study for Cohort 1.
Enrollment in the randomized phase of the study will be initiated after review of the
safety run-in data by the IMC (refer to Section 3.1.1.1 for a detailed description of the
safety run-in phase). In the randomized phase, patients will be randomized to receive
RO6958688 in combination with atezolizumab and nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine or
nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine to assess the preliminary efficacy and safety for
RO6958688 in combination with atezolizumab and nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine by
means of randomized comparison with SOC (nab-paclitaxel in combination with
gemcitabine).
Part 1, Cohort 2 (Second Line): Overview
Cohort 2 will consist of a single randomized phase with two arms. Patients with
metastatic PDAC whose disease progressed during or following a gemcitabine-based
first-line therapy will be randomized to RO6958699 plus atezolizumab or nal-IRI plus
5-FU/LV to assess the preliminary efficacy and safety of RO6958699 in combination with
atezolizumab by means of a randomized comparison with SOC (nal-IRI in combination
with 5-FU/LV).
Part 1, Cohort 3 (Third Line): Overview
Cohort 3 will consist of a single non-randomized arm enrolling patients with metastatic
PDAC whose disease has progressed during or following a gemcitabine-based therapy
and a fluoropyrimidine-based therapy.
Inclution Criteria
Patients must meet the following criteria for entry into any cohort of this study:
Signed Informed Consent Form
Age 18 years at time of signing Informed Consent Form
Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator’s judgment
ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1 (see Appendix 6)
Life expectancy 3 months, as determined by the investigator
Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic PDAC
The definitive diagnosis of metastatic PDAC will be made by integrating the
histopathologic data within the context of clinical and radiographic data.
Patients with endocrine or acinar pancreatic carcinoma are not eligible for
the study.
Measurable disease (at least one target lesion) according to RECIST v1.1 (see
Appendix 4)
Previously irradiated lesions can be considered as measurable disease only if
progressive disease has been unequivocally documented at that site since
radiation.
Availability of a representative tumor specimen that is suitable for determination of
PD-L1 and CEA status by means of central testing
Tumor tissue samples will be collected from all patients at baseline, preferably by
means of a biopsy performed at study entry. If a biopsy is not deemed feasible
by the investigator, archival tumor tissue may be submitted.
A formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimen in a paraffin block
(preferred) or at least 10 slides (15 slides preferred) containing unstained, freshly
cut, serial sections must be submitted along with an associated pathology report
prior to study enrollment.
Adequate hematologic and end-organ function, defined using the following
laboratory test results, obtained within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment:
– ANC 1.5109
/L (1500/L) without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor
support
– WBC count 2.5109
/L (2500/L)
– Lymphocyte count 0.8109
/L (800/L)
– Platelet count 100 109
/L (100,000/L) without transfusion
– Hemoglobin 90 g/L (9.0 g/dL)
Patients may be transfused to meet this criterion.
– AST, ALT, and ALP 2.5 upper limit of normal (ULN), with the
following exceptions:
Patients with documented liver metastases: AST and ALT 5 ULN
Patients with documented liver or bone metastases: ALP 5 ULN
– Serum bilirubin 1.5 ULN with the following exception:
Patients with known Gilbert disease: serum bilirubin level 3 ULN
– Serum creatinine 1.5 ULN
– Serum albumin 30 g/L (3.0 g/dL)
– For patients not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: INR and aPTT
1.5 ULN
Negative HIV test at screening, unless not permitted per local regulations
Negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test at screening
Negative total hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) test at screening, or positive
HBcAb test followed by a negative HBV DNA test at screening
The HBV DNA test will be performed only for patients who have a positive
HBcAb test.
Negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test at screening or positive HCV
antibody test followed by a negative HCV RNA test at screening
The HCV RNA test will be performed only for patients who have a positive
HCV antibody test.
For patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: stable anticoagulant regimen
For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from
heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods with a failure rate of
1% per year during the treatment period and for 5 months after the last dose of
atezolizumab, for 4 months after the last dose of RO6958688, for 1 month after the
last dose of nal-IRI, and for 6 months after the last dose of 5-FU/LV of nab-paclitaxel,
and 6 months after the last dose of gemcitabine, whichever is later
A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarcheal,
has not reached a postmenopausal state (12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not
undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus).
Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of 1% per year include
bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit
ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine
devices.
The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the
duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient.
Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation
methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or
use contraceptive measures, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm, as
defined below:
With female partners of childbearing potential, men must remain abstinent or
use a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a
failure rate of 1% per year during the treatment period and for 90 days after the
last administration of RO6958688 and up to 4 months after the last dose of
nal-IRI and up to 6 months after the last dose of 5-FU, nab-paclitaxel, and
gemcitabine. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period.
With pregnant female partners, men must remain abstinent or use a condom
during the treatment period and for 90 days after the last dose of study
treatment to avoid exposing the embryo.
The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the
duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient.
Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation
methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
Advice on conservation of sperm should be sought prior to treatment with 5-FU
because of the possibility of irreversible infertility due to therapy with fluorouracil.
Male patients who receive atezolizumab only (only if RO6958688 is
discontinued 90 days and treatment with atezolizumab is continued) are not
required to use contraception during atezolizumab treatment; pregnancies in
female partners of male patients receiving atezolizumab monotherapy are not
required to be reported.
