About this study

Official title: A Pilot Trial of PEGPH20 (Pegylated Hyaluronidase) in Combination With Avelumab (Anti-PD-L1 MSB0010718C) in Chemotherapy Resistant Pancreatic Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamics, safety and efficacy of PEGPH20 in combination with Avelumab in adult patients with chemotherapy resistant advanced or locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized trial.

Read the detailed description

The reported response rate with check-point inhibitors in PDAC is 0 %. This study tests the hypothesis that elimination of HA in pancreas tumor microenvironment mediated by PEG PH20 will result in increased tumor vascularization and vessel patency as well as stromal remodeling with increase immune infiltrate. These effects may facilitate the activity of check-point inhibitors like avelumab by at least two mechanisms including increase in drug delivery and increasing immune infiltrate.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamics, safety and efficacy of PEGPH20 in combination with Avelumab in adult patients with chemotherapy resistant advanced or locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized trial.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PEGylated Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (PEGPH20)Drug

    PEGPH20 will be administered at a dose of 3.0 micrograms per kilogram (μg/kg) as an intravenous (IV) infusion.

  • AvelumabDrug

    Also called MSB0010718C

    Avelumab will be administered as at a dose of 10 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) as an intravenous (IV) infusion once every 2 weeks.

Study groups in NCT03481920
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PEGPH20 + AvelumabExperimentalPEGPH20, a multi-site PEGylated enzyme generated by conjugating N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester of methoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-butanoic acid (MSBA30K/B or PEG) and recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20). PEGPH20 has a half-life of approximately 2 days, thereby enabling systemic activity and sustained duration of action to degrade HA. In many different tumor types tested in murine xenograft models, response to PEGPH20 has been shown to be more robust for tumors characterized by higher HA expression.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine ORR as per RECIST v1.1 criteria

    Determine ORR as per RECIST v1.1 criteria

    Measured: 6 months from trial treatment initiation cycle 1/day 1. Each treatment cycle is 14 days

  2. To assess the safety of this combination in patients with PDAC.

    graded by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.03

    Measured: Initiation of trial treatment cycle 1/day 1 through 30 days after last dose of trial treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Determine OS (OVERALL SURVIVAL)

    The length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment for a disease, such as cancer, that patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive

    Measured: From date of treatment initiation cycle 1/day 1 until death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months

  2. Determine PFS (PROGRESSION FREE SURVIVAL)

    The length of time during and after the treatment of a disease, such as cancer, that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse.

    Measured: From date of treatment initiation cycle 1/day 1 until progression, assessed up to 24 months

  3. Changes in CA 19,9 leves

    Measured in UI/ML

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing PEGylated Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (PEGPH20) and Avelumab in people with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Pancreatic Cancer, run by PH Research, S.L. at 3 sites in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Stopped Enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine ORR as per RECIST v1.1 criteria (time frame: 6 months from trial treatment initiation cycle 1/day 1. Each treatment cycle is 14 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Aug 2019.
