About this study

Official title: A First-in-human Open Label Phase Ia/Ib, Multicenter/Multiregional, Dose Escalation Study of BI 765883 Administered Intravenously as Monotherapy and in Combination With Gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel in Unselected Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) or Patients With PDAC Who Have Relapsed After Post-surgery Adjuvant Therapy

This study is open to adults with advanced pancreatic cancer for whom previous treatment was not successful or no treatment exists.

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of BI 765883 that people with advanced pancreatic cancer can tolerate when taken alone or together with chemotherapy. Another purpose is to check whether BI 765883 helps people with advanced pancreatic cancer. In this study, BI 765883 is given to humans for the first time.

Participants receive either BI 765883 alone or BI 765883 in combination with chemotherapy. Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. At study visits, doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants and check the severity of participants' cancer.

Being tested
BI 765883, Gemcitabine, Nab-paclitaxel

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Evaluation Period for the Determination of the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    All Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) were agreed upon by the Dose-Escalation Committee (DEC) after review of the data from each cohort. Only Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) occurring in the first 2 cycles were considered necessary for dose-escalation decisions made by the Dose-Escalation Committee (DEC). Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) observed during the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) evaluation period were considered for Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) determination.

    The MTD evaluation period was defined as the first two treatment cycles; i.e. from Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) up to and including the day before C3D1, or to the end of the REP in case of discontinuation before the start of C3.

    Measured: The MTD evaluation period corresponds to the first two treatment cycles (28 days), with extension up to 35 days in cases of early discontinuation, based on the residual effect period.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Best Overall Response as Defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1)

    Objective Response is defined as the best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), recorded from the start of the study treatment until the earliest of disease progression, death, or last evaluable tumor assessment, and before start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy.

    Measured: From the first trial drug administration until 35 days (the Residual Effect Period) after the last trial drug administration, covering a total duration of up to 134 days.

  2. Disease Control as Defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1)

    Disease control (DC) was defined as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) from the start of treatment until the earliest of progressive disease (PD), death, or the last evaluable tumor assessment and before the start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy.

    Measured: From the first trial drug administration until 35 days (the Residual Effect Period) after the last trial drug administration, covering a total duration of up to 134 days.

  3. Objective Response (OR) as Assessed by the Investigator Defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1)

    Objective response (OR) is defined as the best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), recorded from the start of the study treatment until the earliest of progressive disease (PD), death, or the last evaluable tumor assessment, and before the start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy.

    Measured: From the first trial drug administration until 35 days (the Residual Effect Period) after the last trial drug administration, covering a total duration of up to 134 days.

  4. Maximum Measured Concentration of BI 765883 in Serum (Cmax)

    The maximum measured concentration of the BI 765883 in serum is reported.

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic samples were collected predose (336 hrs after infusion start, prior to the next dose), at the start of infusion (0 hrs), after the end of infusion (0.5 hrs), and at 5, 24, 48, and 168 hrs after infusion start in Cycle 1 and Cycle 4.

  5. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve of BI 765883 From Time 0 to 336 Hours (AUC₀-336)

    The area under the serum concentration time curve of BI 765883 from time 0 to 336 hours is reported.

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic samples were collected predose (336 hrs after infusion start, prior to the next dose), at the start of infusion (0 hrs), after the end of infusion (0.5 hrs), and at 5, 24, 48, and 168 hrs after infusion start in Cycle 1 and Cycle 4.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BI 765883, Gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel in people with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 17 sites in 6 countries.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 15 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States, France, Germany, Belgium, Japan and 1 more country. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jul 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Occurrence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Evaluation Period for the Determination of the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (time frame: The MTD evaluation period corresponds to the first two treatment cycles (28 days), with extension up to 35 days in cases of early discontinuation, based on the residual effect period.). 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 15 Jul 2026.
