Brief Summary:
This randomized phase II trial studies how well veliparib together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin works compared to gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin alone in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body (metastatic). Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving veliparib together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin is an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Optimal dose of veliparib with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin (non-randomized part I) [ Time Frame: 21 days ]
  2. Response rate to gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin with versus without veliparib (randomized Part I) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Simon's two-stage minimax design will be employed separately in each arm A and B.

  3. Response rate of single-agent veliparib (Part II) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be assessed by RECIST criteria. Simon's two-stage optimal design will be employed.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-free survival (Parts I and II) [ Time Frame: From the date of study enrollment to documentation of clear-cut progression of disease or last follow-up, assessed up to 5 years ]
    Kaplan-Meier method will be used.

  2. Incidence of adverse events (Parts I and II) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (version 5.0 will be utilized for adverse event reporting beginning April 1, 2018). Toxicity and tolerability of all three study arms will be assessed and summarized using descriptive statistics.

  3. Disease control rate (complete response + partial response + stable disease) and duration of response (Parts I and II) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    The disease control rate will be recorded for all three study arms.

  4. Overall survival (Parts I and II) [ Time Frame: From the time of study enrollment to the date of death or last follow-up, assessed up to 5 years ]
    Kaplan-Meier method will be used.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Molecular and genetic phenotype of tumors [ Time Frame: Up to day 84 ]
    Descriptive statistics will be utilized. An exploratory analysis will be undertaken to correlate the molecular profiling with outcome (e.g., response, progression-free survival time, overall survival time). Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox regression will be used for exploratory analysis of the survival endpoints and logistic regression will be used for response endpoints.

  2. Proportion of genetic reversions of BRCA gene mutations [ Time Frame: Up to day 84 ]
    The evaluation will be a descriptive and exploratory one. The proportion of genetic reversions of BRCA gene mutations to wild type will be summarized using binomial proportions.

  3. Change in PAR levels [ Time Frame: Baseline up to day 84 ]
    Summarized by percent of baseline. In each arm, a paired t-test will be employed to compare baseline to after treatment PAR levels. Standard descriptive methods will be used to summarize baseline levels and the changes from baseline (following treatment). Changes in PAR levels from baseline to after treatment will be associated with response using Wilcoxon rank sum test.

  4. Transcriptome analyses [ Time Frame: Up to day 84 ]
    Will be assessed by ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing. Descriptive statistics will be employed to describe the observed effects.

  5. Differentially expressed genes found [ Time Frame: Up to day 84 ]
    Will be assessed by the limma package, and standard cut-offs. Descriptive statistics will be employed to describe the observed effects.

  • Male or female patients with cytologically or histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic pancreas adenocarcinoma with a BRCA1 or 2 or PALB2 mutation confirmed by report from Myriad Genetics (United States of America [USA]); reports from other molecular diagnostic companies can be used to confirm mutations as well; BRCA 1 or 2 or PALB2 mutation can be confirmed locally for all international sites

    • For part I, non-randomized, lead-in portion, patients with a known BRCA 1 or 2 or PALB2 mutation are eligible along with patients who potentially may have a likelihood of having a BRCA mutation (e.g., personal or family history of breast, pancreas, ovary, endometrial, prostate or other likely related malignancy)
    • For part I, randomized portion, a known BRCA 1 or 2 or PALB2 mutation is required
  • For part I (arms A, B): Patients can have either locally advanced or metastatic pancreas adenocarcinoma for which no prior therapy has been administered for either locally advanced or metastatic disease; prior adjuvant therapy is permissible if gemcitabine or a fluoropyrimidine was administered with or without radiation and if disease recurrence has been documented at least 6 months after completion of adjuvant therapy
  • For part II (arm C): Patients can have either locally advanced or metastatic pancreas adenocarcinoma; up to two prior treatment regimens are permissible (excluding a prior PARP inhibitor) for either localized or metastatic pancreas adenocarcinoma; prior combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy is permissible provided the patient has measurable disease outside the radiation port; prior therapy must have been completed at least 3 weeks prior to starting therapy

    • For part II (arm C): 0-2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)
  • Life expectancy of greater than 3 months
  • Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL (measured within 14 days prior to administration of ABT-888)

    • For part I, randomized portion, measurable disease is required
  • If a woman is of child-bearing potential a negative blood or urine pregnancy test is required; (the effects of veliparib on the developing human fetus are unknown; for this reason and because other therapeutic agents or modalities used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception [hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence] prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately)
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 3 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 3 weeks earlier

  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because veliparib is a PARP inhibitor with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with veliparib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with veliparib; these potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study
