Study Summary

This study combines canakinumab (ACZ885), a high-affinity human anti-interleukin-1β (IL-1β) monoclonal antibody (mAb), and spartalizumab (PDR001), a mAb directed against human Programmed Death-1 (PD-1), with the chemotherapy combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. This study will confirm for this 4-drug combination the tolerable doses, the acceptable safety profile, and the dose to be used for a Phase II combination treatment regimen.

Primary Outcome

Evaluate dose limiting toxicities of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer for at least 56 days (DLT period) after dosing with canakinumab at 250 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W), 400mg Spartalizumab Q4W and Gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel on Days 1, 8 and 15 at standard of care levels. Dose limiting toxicities were evaluated to determine if dosing of canakinumab at 250 mg every 4 weeks with the other three drugs was considered tolerable and should be the dose utilized for future Phase 2/3 clinical trials

Interventions

  • DRUG Canakinumab injection; spartalizumab, nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine
