Study Details

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This study will be conducted in 2 phases.
In Phase 1, escalating doses of SD-101 will be administered alone via PRVI into the regional vessels of the pancreas containing the locally advanced tumor. The first three patients will part of a safety run-in. Following determination of the recommended MTD or optimal dose of SD-101 for PRVI, the study will progress to
Phase 1b to assess the safety of concomitant SD-101 and CPI usage, along with preliminary efficacy. Patients in Phase 1b will receive the SD-101 dose selected from Phase 1 together with systemic anti-PD-1 checkpoint blockade. SD-101 will be administered over 2 cycles, with 1 dose per cycle and each cycle being 1 month apart.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Phase 1 - To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SD-101 administered alone via PRVI. [12 months]
As a measure of safety, adverse events will be graded according to CTCAE v5.0
- Phase 1b - To determine the safety of SD-101 administered via PRVI in combination with pembrolizumab and to assess the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 overall response rate (ORR) [12 months]
A standard 3+3 dose-escalation design will be employed to determine the MTD or optimal dose.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Phase 1 - To assess the RECIST v1.1 ORR [12 months]
As a measure of activity, ORR will be assessed. ORR will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1.
- Phase 1b - To assess progression-free survival (PFS) of PRVI of SD-101 in combination with intravenous (IV) immunological checkpoint blockade. [12 months]
As a measure of activity, PFS will be assessed. PFS will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1
- Phase 1b - To assess the 12-month overall survival (OS) of PRVI of SD-101 in combination with intravenous (IV) immunological checkpoint blockade. [12 months]
As a measure of activity, OS will be assessed. The events for the assessment of 12-month OS are death events.
- Phase 1b - To assess preliminary efficacy in terms of RECIST for immune based therapeutics on ORR. [12 months]
As a measure of activity, iRECIST will be utilized to determine overall response rate (ORR).
- Phase 1b - To assess preliminary efficacy in terms of RECIST 1.1 pancreatic-specific response rate (PRR). [12 months]
As a measure of activity, RECIST 1.1 will be utilized to determine pancreatic specific response rate.
- Phase 1b - To assess preliminary efficacy in terms of RECIST for immune based therapeutics on duration of response. [12 months]
As a measure of activity, RECIST 1.1 will be utilized to determine duration of response (DOR)
- Phase 1b - To assess preliminary efficacy in terms of RECIST for immune based therapeutics on clinical benefit ([CR] + [PR] + [SD]). [12 months]
As a measure of activity, RECIST 1.1 will be utilized to determine clinical benefit (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]).

Standard of care chemotherapy includes gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel, or FOLFIRINOX; for others discuss with medical monitor.
