About the Study
This study will compare a 3-drug chemotherapy combination (NABPLAGEM; gemcitabine, cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel) to a 2-drug chemotherapy combination (gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel) to treat people with an inherited and/or tumor-associated , or mutation who have pancreatic cancer that has progressed on front-line treatment with FOLFIRINOX/NALIRIFOX (fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin and oxaliplatin).
This Study is Open To:
People who:
- Are 18 years old or older
- Have pancreatic cancer
- Have a , , or genetic or tumor mutation
Progressed on FOLFIRINOX/NALIRIFOX for disease. Previous maintenance treatment with a (such as or ) is also allowed.
This Study is NOT Open To:
People who:
- Are under the age of 18
- Have significant neuropathy from their prior chemotherapy
- Do not have measurable disease on their CT or scans
- Have new or progressive brain
- Are confined to bed or chair for more than 50% of waking hours.
What the Study Involves
People enrolled in the study will be randomly assigned to Group 1 or Group 2.
Group 1 (NABPLAGEM): Participants will receive a 3-drug NABPLAGEM chemotherapy combination: gemcitabine, cisplatin, and nab-paclitaxel. This combination will be given intravenously on days 1 and 15 of each cycle. The cycle will repeat every 28 days as long as the cancer does not progress or there are no severe side-effects. Participants will also have or CT scans throughout the trial to determine how the treatment is working. There are also blood sample collections before and after the study so that we can better understand the effects of these treatments.
Group 2 (gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel): Participants will receive a 2-drug chemotherapy combination: gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. This combination will be given on days 1 and 15 of each cycle. The cycle will repeat every 28 days as long as the cancer does not progress or there are no severe side-effects. Participants will also have or CT scans throughout the trial to determine how the treatment is working. There are also blood sample collections before and after the study so that we can better understand the effects of these treatments.
When the study is completed, participants will be followed up within 30 days, and then every 3 months for two years.
