About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Anti-CD38 Antibody in Combination With KRAS Vaccine and Anti-PD-1 Antibody in Subjects With Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and tolerability of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAb), daratumumab, in combination with KRAS vaccine (Targovax TG-01/Stimulon QS-21) when given with anti-PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1) mAb (nivolumab) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • How well does daratumumab and nivolumab, when given with a vaccine, control or stop these types of cancer?
  • How well does participants bodies handle these study drugs?
  • Does this combination of study drugs help participants live longer? Participants will receive daratumumab, nivolumab with KRAS vaccine and have regular tests and procedures to follow how the participants are doing on these study drugs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) (Efficacy)

    Evaluation of response by ORR by irRECIST criteria. Response classification will follow the irRECIST criteria and will be defined as PR or CR. Patients who are lost to follow-up without a valid response assessment will be classified as NR (non-responder, progression). The ORR will be computed for all patients with at least one cycle of the study drug.

    Measured: every 8 weeks, approximately 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]

    Incidence rate of Adverse Events

    Measured: From start of intervention until 30 days following discontinuation of intervention, approximately 2 years

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS will be defined as the time in days from study entry until progression or death.

    Measured: at 6 months and 9 months

  3. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DoR is defined as the length of time tumor continues to respond to the treatment.

    Measured: approximately 3 years

  4. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    CBR classification will follow the irRECIST criteria and will be defined as the percentage of patients who achieved stable disease (SD) or better response.

    Measured: approximately 2 years

  5. Overall Survival

    OS will be defined as the time in days from study entry until death. All events of death will be included, regardless of whether the event occurred while the subject was still taking study drug, or after the subject discontinued study drug.

    Measured: approximately 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Daratumumab, KRAS vaccine and Nivolumab in people with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Georgetown University at 1 site in United States.

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 21 inclusion and 57 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jun 2026. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (Efficacy) (time frame: every 8 weeks, approximately 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06015724.

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 30 Jun 2026.
