About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b/2a, Multicenter, Open Label Study of the Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Narmafotinib in Combination With Modified FOLFIRINOX in Pancreatic Cancer Patients

This study is testing narmafotinib, a type of drug called a focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor, when it is given in combination with 4 chemotherapy drugs in a regimen called FOLFIRINOX, to patients who have pancreatic cancer which has metastasised (spread). The study is being run in 2 parts.

Part A will test increasing dose levels of narmafotinib in at least 3 people per dose at up to 4 dose levels to assess safety.

Part B will test 2 of the dose levels from Part A in 20 people per dose, to select the best dose to take forward into future studies.

Participants will take narmafotinib as oral capsules every day. They will also receive mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy on Day 1 and and Day 15 of 28-day cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) from Baseline to End of Study

    TEAEs during study treatment and follow up periods

    Measured: From first dose of study drug to end of study, an expected average of 6 months

  2. Part B: identification of optimal dose of narmafotinib

    The optimal dose will be selected based on a review of safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), efficacy, and any other available relevant data

    Measured: From first dose of study drug to end of study, an expected average of 6 months

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. narmafotinib levels in plasma

    Measurement of maximum concentration (Cmax) of narmafotinib

    Measured: Days -7, -6, -1, 1 and 15 of Run-In/Cycle 1; and Day 1 of Cycles 2 and 4 (each cycle is 28 days)

  2. narmafotinib levels in plasma

    Measurement of time to Cmax (tmax) of narmafotinib

    Measured: Days -7, -6, -1, 1 and 15 of Run-In/Cycle 1; and Day 1 of Cycles 2 and 4 (each cycle is 28 days)

  3. narmafotinib levels in plasma

    Measurement of clearance of narmafotinib

    Measured: Days -7, -6, -1, 1 and 15 of Run-In/Cycle 1; and Day 1 of Cycles 2 and 4 (each cycle is 28 days)

  4. Overall response rate (ORR)

    ORR based on RECIST 1.1

    Measured: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months

  5. Overall survival (OS)

    OS of participants, defined as time from first dose until death from any cause

    Measured: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months

  6. Progression free survival (PFS)

    PFS of participants, defined as time from first dose to date of first observed progression, based on RECIST, or death from any cause (whichever comes first)

    Measured: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months

  7. Clinical benefit rate (CBR)

    CBR defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) + partial response (PR) + stable disease (SD) with SD for at least 6 months

    Measured: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months

  8. Duration of response (DOR)

    DOR based on RECIST defined as the time from the date of the first confirmed response to the date of progression or death

    Measured: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months

  9. Disease control rate (DCR)

    DCR based on RECIST defined as the proportion of participants who achieve complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD)

    Measured: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing narmafotinib ascending doses and narmafotinib dose comparison in people with Pancreatic Cancer Metastatic, run by Amplia Therapeutics Limited at 2 sites in Australia.

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 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Australia. 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 combined 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.

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?

Number of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) from Baseline to End of Study (time frame: From first dose of study drug to end of study, an expected average of 6 months). 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 5 May 2026.
