Trial to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability of GP-2250 in Combination With Gemcitabine
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a phase 1 first in human, dose escalation trial in subjects with advanced pancreatic cancer previously treated with FOLFIRINOX but never exposed to therapeutic gemcitabine.
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This trial used a Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) dose escalation design of GP-2250 as a single-dose monotherapy (Cycle 1 only) followed by combination therapy with gemcitabine for Cohorts 1 through 5. Following implementation of Amendment 7 and beginning with dose Cohort 6 and all subsequent cohorts, the trial will use a 3+3 dose escalation design, and will continue as single-dose monotherapy (Cycle 1 only) followed by combination therapy with gemcitabine. Subjects will continue to receive treatment until disease progression assessed by RECIST V1.1 criteria, clinical disease progression as assessed by the Investigator, development of a dose limiting toxicity, unacceptable toxicity, subject request for withdrawal, Investigator assessment that risk outweighs benefit, or study closure by the Sponsor.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: GP-2250 Monotherapy GP-2250 in doses of 250 mg up to 30 grams intravenously on Days -7, 1, 8, 15 of a 28 day cycle with gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8, 15 days of the cycle. |
Drug: GP-2250

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) [12-24 months]
Dose Limiting Toxicity - dose at which toxicity causes cessation of dose escalations.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA-19-9) [12-24 months]
A type of antigen released by pancreatic cancer cells and usually changes as disease progression or regressions occurs. Measurement of changes, if any, will be assessed in each patient.
