  • To determine the safe dose of PEGPH20 in combination with the approved dose of gemcitabine. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    The safety and tolerability profile of PEGPH20 used in combination with gemcitabine will be assessed.
  • To compare the effect of overall survival between treatment groups. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    To compare the effect of overall survival of gemcitabine plus PEGPH20 vs gemcitabine plus placebo in Stage IV previously untreated pancreatic cancer patients.

Study of Gemcitabine + PEGPH20 vs Gemcitabine Alone in Stage IV Previously Untreated Pancreatic Cancer
A Phase 1b/2 Multicenter, International, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Study of Gemcitabine Combined With PEGPH20 Compared to Gemcitabine Combined With Placebo in Patients With Stage IV Previously Untreated Pancreatic Cancer

Phase 1B: Open label (all patients receive PEGPH20+gemcitabine), dose escalation, safety and tolerability study to determine the safe dose of PEGPH20 to use in combination with gemcitabine in Stage IV previously untreated pancreatic cancer patients.

Phase 2: Randomized, double blind study to compare the effect of overall survival of gemcitabine plus PEGPH20 vs gemcitabine plus placebo in Stage IV previously untreated pancreatic cancer patients.

PEGPH20 is a PEGylated version of human recombinant PH20 hyaluronidase that, in preclinical studies, has been shown to remove HA from the extracellular matrix surrounding tumor cells by depolymerizing this substrate. 87% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDA) overexpress HA. PDA tumor tissue may be especially sensitive to the HA-degradation properties of PEGPH20 and thus more responsive to the cytotoxic effects of a given dose of gemcitabine. Modifying the extracellular environment to increase the penetration and efficacy of anti-cancer agents represents a novel approach to treating pancreatic cancer and may provide important therapeutic outcomes in patients with Stage IV Previously Untreated Pancreatic Cancer.

This Phase 1B/2 study will assess safety, tolerability, treatment effect, and various PK/PD endpoints.

Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer
  • Drug: Gemcitabine
    1000 mg/m2 given IV one time a week (Cycle 1: 7 weeks on treatment, 1 week off treatment; Cycle 2+: 3 Weeks on treatment, 1 week off treatment)
