About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b, Open-Label, Safety, Pharmacokinetic, and Pharmacodynamic Study of an Anti-super-enhancer Minnelide Given Along With Abraxane Plus Gemcitabine in Patients With Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas

A Phase 1b, Open-Label, Safety, Pharmacokinetic, and Pharmacodynamic Study of an Anti-super-enhancer Minnelide Once a Day on Days 1 to 5, Days 8 to 12 and Days 15 to 19 Along with Abraxane Plus Gemcitabine in Patients with Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas

Read the detailed description

Stressing the patient's pancreatic cancer by giving the anti-super-enhancer Minnelide to increase endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and improve the progression-free survival (PFS) when patients are treated with standard of care (SOC) nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab)-paclitaxel (Abraxane) plus gemcitabine.

Open Label Study of Minnelide in Patients with Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the PancreasExperimentalThis is an open-label, Phase 1b study of MinnelideTM given once a day on Days 1 to 5, Days 8 to12 and Days 15 to 19 in combination with SOC (nab-paclitaxel [Abraxane] plus gemcitabine). The study will be conducted in patients with disease progression while on FOLFIRINOX as first treatment and who have had no prior treatment with nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) plus gemcitabine or single agent nab paclitaxel or gemcitabine or in any other combinations. The total number of treatment cycles administered will be dependent on drug tolerability by patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the safety of Minnelide capsules when given in combination with SOC

    To observe any increase in the number of patients that experience Grade 4 neutropenia lasting ≥ 5 days or Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia with fever and/or infection; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (or Grade 3 with bleeding); Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related non-hematological toxicity (Grade 3 nausea, vomiting or diarrhea that last > 72 hours despite maximal treatment when Minnelide is given in combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel compared to the incidence with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. pharmacokinetics of Minnelide and to determine the pharmacodynamics of GRP78

    To determine the pharmacokinetics of Minnelide when given in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel

    Plasma concentration data will be used to determine the following PK parameters:

    • AUC Area under the concentration curve
    • Cmax Maximum plasma concentration
    • Tmax Time to maximum plasma concentration
    • t1/2 Terminal phase half life
    • CL/F Total body clearance
    • Vd/F Apparent volume of distribution
    • To determine the effects of Minnelide on the pharmacodynamics of GRP78

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Minnelide in people with Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas, run by Minneamrita Therapeutics LLC at 1 site in South Korea.

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 30 inclusion and 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Mohana Velagapudi (3092693132, mvelagapudi@minneamrita.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the safety of Minnelide capsules when given in combination with SOC (time frame: 24 months). 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 9 Dec 2022.
