A Phase I/IIa Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of EGFR-targeted, PNU-159682-packaged Nanocells & Glycolipid-Packaged Nanocells in Combination With Gemcitabine & Nab-paclitaxel in Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Engeneic Pty Limited
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability and overall survival (OS) of E-EDV-D682/GC in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel versus gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel alone in participants with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who have progressed on therapy.
Description
This study is testing an experimental treatment for participants with metastatic PDAC who have progressed following first line therapy involving 5-fluorouracil-containing combination that included irinotecan and oxaliplatin. The experimental treatment consists of a chemotherapy drug, PNU-159682 packaged inside an EDV™ nanocell targeted to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to form the investigational product E-EDV-D682. The EnGeneIC Dream Vector (EDV) nanocell is used to transport the chemotherapy directly to the tumor via the blood stream where it attaches to the surface of EGFR exp…
