TPS459 Background: Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in the USA. The most effective treatments for first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer are FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, which provide a median overall survival of 11·1 months and 8·5 months with moderate toxicity. Safer and more effective treatments are needed. The glycolic and mitochondrial metabolism are aberrant in pancreatic cancer and translate into chemoresistance. Inhibition of glutamine metabolism can potentially synergize with therapies that increase intracellular reactive oxygen species such as Nab-Paclitaxel. CPI- 613 is a novel antimitocondrial developed by Rafael Pharmaceuticals that showed preclinical activity in pancreatic cancer cell lines as well as promising clinical activity in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX in patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Preclinical data suggests possible synergy of CPI- 613 with nab-paclitaxel. Methods: This is a single arm, open-label, nonblinded phase I study of CPI-613 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Key eligibility criteria include: histologically or cytologically documented and measurable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, ECOG performance status 0-2, first line treatment for both locally advanced or metastatic. CPI-613 will be infused intravenously with a starting dose of 500 mg/m2 followed by 125 mg/m2 nab-paclitaxel and 1,000 mg/m2 gemcitabine on day 1, 8, 15 of a 28-day cycle. The study is comprised of a two-stage dose-escalation schema to evaluate the MTD of CPI-613. At least six months of treatment is planned for patients who have a response. Primary endpoint of the study is MTD of CPI 613 when combined with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel and secondary endpoints of the study are treatment related adverse events, CR and PR. This study was initiated in February 2018 at Atlantic Health System and within first seven months of the study, 11 out of 24 planned patients have been enrolled. Clinical trial information: NCT03435289.

4635 Background: Glycolic and mitochondrial metabolism are aberrant in pancreatic cancer and translate into chemoresistance. Inhibition of glutamine metabolism can potentially synergize with therapies that increase intracellular reactive oxygen species, such as nab-paclitaxel. CPI- 613 is a novel antimitochondrial agent developed by Rafael Pharmaceuticals that showed promising clinical activity in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX in patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Preclinical data suggested possible synergy of CPI-613 with nab-paclitaxel. Methods: Single arm, open-label, phase I study of CPI-613 with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer to determine MTD, safety, and preliminary efficacy of CPI-613 in combination with chemotherapy. Key eligibility criteria included: histologically documented and measurable locally-advanced or metastatic, PDAC. ECOG performance status 0-2; and first line systemic treatment. CPI-613 was infused intravenously with a starting dose of 500 mg/m2 followed by modified dose nab-paclitaxel (100mg/m2) and gemcitabine ( 800 mg/m2) on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle. The the primary endpoint, the MTD of CPI-613 was determined by a two-stage, dose-escalation schema, with 6-month treatment duration for patients exhibiting treatment response. Secondary endpoints were treatment-related adverse events, complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). Results: From February 2018 to 2020, 26 patients were screened, (23 metastatic and 3 locally advanced), 22 patients enrolled and 18 patients underwent a restaging scan. As of the time of submission 3 patients are still on active treatment. Patient demographics were: median age of 65, ECOG was 0-1, The MTD of CPI- 613 was determined to be 1500 mg/m2. The dose limiting toxicities were not achieved. Overall the treatment was well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to chemotherapy; most common grade 3 and 4 toxicities were hematologic toxicity and neuropathy. 1 patient achieved CR, 9 PR, 8 stable disease and 1 progressive disease for an objective response rate of 50% with a CR rate of 5.5%. Conclusions: The results demonstrate that CPI 613 can be safely administered with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel at doses up to 1,500 m/g2. Efficacy data suggest synergy with chemotherapy. Further clinical studies of CPI-613 efficacy in pancreatic cancer are in progress. Clinical trial information: NCT03435289 .

Abstract Background There have not been standard second-line or maintenance regimens with definite survival benefits so far for patients with pancreatic carcinoma who have lost the opportunity of curable resections or failed first-line chemotherapy. Anlotinib, a potent small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, exhibits anti-angiogenic and anti-tumour effects by specifically binding to multiple targets such as VEGFR, FGFR, PDGFR, c-Kit and Ret. Toripalimab, a novel anti-PD-1 mAb, has been proved to significantly prolong progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in various solid tumours with manageable toxicities when combining with cytotoxic chemotherapy. We design this study to assess the combination of anlotinib, toripalimab and nab-paclitaxel as a second-line or maintenance therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) or metastatic pancreatic cancer (MPC). Patients and Methods: This is an open-label, non-randomized, single-arm phase Ⅱ study, aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety profile of the above-mentioned combination strategy in first-line therapy-failed LAPC or MPC. Totally 53 patients are to be enrolled and receive anlotinib (12 mg, po. qd.) plus toripalimab (240 mg, ivgtt. q3w.) and nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m2, ivgtt, d1, d8) every 3 weeks as a cycle until disease progression or intolerable adverse events. The primary endpoint is PFS. Secondary end points include OS, disease control rate (DCR), object response rate (ORR), quality of life (QoL) and safety. Enrollment started in April 2021, and follow-up will be finished in April 2023. Discussion and Significance: Combination of anlotinib, toripalimab and nab-paclitaxel may promote vessel normalization and drug delivery, and activate the immune response, thus exerting synergistic anti-tumour effects and counteracting the immunosuppressive microenvironment of pancreatic cancer. As the first intending to assess this combination in pancreatic cancer, this study will provide comprehensive evidence for second-line or maintenance therapy of LAPC and MPC.

TPS487 Background: Targeted inhibition of PARP1/2 is one way to further exploit the well-known synergy between gemcitabine (G) and radiotherapy (RT) in locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). PARP1/2 inhibitors, such as veliparib (V), have shown excellent anti-tumor activity when used with other cytotoxic therapies. This synergy may be further exploited in pancreatic cancer by targeting tumors with pre-existing defects in double- strand DNA repair. Extrapolating from our own laboratory findings (Tuli et al, Transl Oncol, 2014) and based on our hypothesis that PARP1/2 inhibition with G and RT will result in enhanced tumor control, we are conducting an IRB- approved phase I study in patients with borderline resectable and LAPC. Methods: The primary objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of V, which is defined as the dose level resulting in a probability (θ = 0.4) that a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) will occur within six weeks. Treatment cycle is 3 weeks followed by weekly evaluation for an additional 3 weeks. G (1000 mg/m2) is administered on days 1, 8, 15. RT (36 Gy) is given in 15 fractions (2.4 Gy/day). V is administered BID in 20 mg increments beginning at a dose of 20 mg. Inclusion criteria: histolopathological diagnosis of borderline resectable or LAPC, age > 18 years, KPS > 70%, life expectancy > 6 months, normal organ and marrow function, and negative pregnancy test. Dose escalation follows a Bayesian escalation without control (EWOC) design, where time to DLT is modeled using a proportional hazards model with constant baseline hazard rate. Secondary objectives: 1) measure clinical activity using RECIST 1.1 for PFS, OS; 2) evaluate pre-treatment tumor biopsy specimen and longitudinal blood samples for baseline levels of DNA repair proteins (ERCC1, XRCC1, PAR, etc.) as potential prognostic, predictive and correlative biomarkers; and 3) assess BRCA1/2, PALB2, PTEN germline and somatic mutations using validated gene sequencing, immunohistochemical and quantitative PCR methods. Since December 2013, 26 patients have consented with 22 enrolled. Clinical trial information: NCT01908478.

TPS4174 Background: Pancreatic cancer will claim an estimated 47,050 lives in the USA in 2020, with an expected 5 year survival of 10%. Thus there is an urgent need for novel treatment options in this disease. We hypothesize that effective response against pancreatic cancer requires a coordinated approach that orchestrates both the innate and adaptive immune system. We further hypothesize that by orchestrating the activation of the entire immune system, we could accomplish immunogenic cell death with durable responses in this disease. We describe a novel combination immunotherapy protocol of low-dose chemoradiation, cytokine-induced NK and T cell activation via N-803 (an IL-15 cytokine fusion protein), and off-the-shelf PDL1-targeted high-affinity NK cell (PDL1 t-haNK) infusion. Methods: The ongoing QUILT 88 phase II/III, multi-center, three-cohort, open-label, US study (NCT04390399) to evaluate the comparative efficacy and overall safety of standard-of-care chemotherapy versus standard-of-care chemotherapy in combination with aldoxorubicin HCl, N-803, and PD-L1 t-haNK in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Each treatment setting (ie, first line maintenance, second line, or third line or greater) will be evaluated independently as a separate cohort. Subjects with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who have received at least 16 weeks of treatment with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, and have had either a partial response (PR), CR, or stable disease (SD), will be enrolled into Cohort A to receive first-line maintenance therapy. Subjects who have disease progression on or after receiving first-line treatment with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel or another first-line chemotherapy regimen (eg, FOLFIRINOX), or who have discontinued first-line treatment (eg, due to toxicity or intolerance) will be enrolled into Cohort B to receive second-line therapy randomized to irinotecan-liposome/5FU/LV versus experimental arm. Subjects who have disease progression after receiving at least 2 lines of therapy for pancreatic cancer, will be enrolled into Cohort C to receive third-line or greater treatment. Primary endpoints by cohort are: A) PFS per RECIST V1., B & C) OS. The secondary endpoints include overall response rate, DoR, DCR, OS(cohort A) and QoL by patient-reported outcomes. Clinical trial information: NCT04390399.
