Trial summary
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).

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.

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.
