|
Drug: CPI 613 in Combination With Gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel
Day 1,15 CPI-613: IV infusion at a rate of 4 mL/min via a central venous catheter starting at 500 mg/m2 (with concurrent D5W infusing at a rate of 125-150 cc/hr). The CPI dose will be determined based on cohort. Day 2,16 Neulasta as clinically indicated Nab- paclitaxel 125mg/m2 iv over 30 min followed by Gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 iv over 30 min Other Names:
|
- The maximally tolerated dose of CPI 613 combined with Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel [ Time Frame: Evaluation at monthly intervals through study completion from the date of study entry until the date of progression, up to 1 year ]
- The number of participants with treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v 4.0 [ Time Frame: Evaluation at 2 week intervals through study completion from the date of study entry until the date of progression, up to 1 year ]
- The number of participants with complete or partial response [ Time Frame: Evaluation at 2 month intervals through study completion from the date of study entry until the date of progression, up to 1 year ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically or cytologically documented and measurable stage III or IV pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- First line treatment for patients diagnosed with metastatic disease
- First line treatment for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who have not been treated with systemic therapies. Prior treatment with chemoradiation is allowed if 4 or more weeks have passed from completion of chemo-radiotherapy.
- Expected survival > 3 months.
- Women of child-bearing potential must use accepted contraceptive methods (abstinence, intrauterine device, oral contraceptive, or double barrier device) during the study, and must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 1 week prior to treatment initiation.
- Fertile men must practice effective contraceptive methods during the study, unless documentation of infertility exists.
-
Laboratory values ≤2 weeks must be:
A. Adequate hematologic (platelet count ≥ 100,000 cells/mm^3 or ≥ 100 bil/L; absolute neutrophil count [ANC] ≥ 1500 cells/mm3 or ≥1.5 bil/L; and hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL or ≥ 90 g/L).
B. Adequate hepatic function (aspartate aminotransferase [AST/SGOT] ≤ 3x upper normal limit [UNL], alanine aminotransferase [ALT/SGPT] ≤ 3x UNL (≤ 5x UNL if liver metastases present), Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x ULN C. Adequate renal function (serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL or 177 μmol/L). D. Adequate coagulation (International Normalized Ratio or INR must be ≤ 1.5), unless the patient receives anticoagulation treatment in which case the INR should be within the therapeutic level, not higher than 3.5 E. Albumin > 2.5 g/dL
- No evidence of active infection and no serious infection within the past month.
-
Mentally competent, ability to understand and willingness to sign the informed consent form.
-
Exclusion Criteria:
- Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements. Endocrine or acinar pancreatic carcinoma
- Known cerebral metastases, central nervous system (CNS), or epidural tumor
- Prior treatment with any systemic chemotherapy for metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas or for stage III (locally advanced) adenocarcinoma
- Presence of clinically significant abdominal ascites
- Patients receiving any other standard or investigational treatment for their cancer, or any other investigational agent for any indication within the past 2 weeks prior to initiation of CPI-613 treatment.
- Serious medical illness that would potentially increase patients' risk for toxicity.
- Any active uncontrolled bleeding, and any patients with a bleeding diathesis (e.g., active peptic ulcer disease).
- Pregnant women, or women of child-bearing potential not using reliable means of contraception (because the teratogenic potential of CPI-613 is unknown).
- Lactating females.
- Fertile men unwilling to practice contraceptive methods during the study period.
- Life expectancy less than 3 months.
- Any condition or abnormality which may, in the opinion of the investigator, compromise the safety of patients.
- Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements.
- Active heart disease including but not limited to symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA class 3 or 4), symptomatic coronary artery disease, symptomatic angina pectoris, or symptomatic myocardial infarction.
- Patients with a history of myocardial infarction that is <3 months prior to registration.
- Evidence of active infection, or serious infection within the past month.
- Patients with known HIV infection.
- Patients who have received cancer immunotherapy of any type within the past 2 weeks prior to initiation of CPI-613 treatment. Steroid use for contrast induced allergy or other supportive care indication is allowed
- Requirement for immediate palliative treatment of any kind including surgery.
- Any other malignancy within last 3 years
- History of interstitial lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or pulmonary hypersensitivity pneumonitis
