Brief Summary:
The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of standard treatment with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine with or without SBP-101 in subjects previously untreated for metastatic PDA, including subjects who have received prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pancreatic Cancer Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Pancreatic Cancer Stage IV Drug: SBP-101 Drug: Nab-paclitaxel Drug: Gemcitabine Other: Placebo Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:
The study will start with a 150-subject sentinel cohort and may continue with an expansion cohort depending on the results of a futility analysis to be performed when 104 required PFS events (death or disease progression, whichever comes first) are observed in the sentinel cohort.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Randomization (Day 1) until death from any cause assessed up to 36 months ]
    Compare OS between subjects who receive SBP-101 and those who do not receive SBP-101 (i.e., placebo) in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Randomization (Day 1) until disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 36 months ]
    Compare PFS between SBP-101 and placebo


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Overall Objective Response (ORR) [ Time Frame: Every 8 weeks during treatment for up to 36 months ]
    Compare ORR between SBP-101 and placebo

  2. Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: At least 16 weeks ]
    Compare DCR between SBP-101 and placebo

  3. Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Onset of CR or PR until disease progression assessed up to 36 months ]
    Compare DoR between SBP-101 and placebo

  4. Quality of Life (QOL) Questionnaires: EORTC QLC-C30 [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks during treatment for up to 36 months ]
    Compare QOL changes in scores between SBP-101 and placebo

  5. Quality of Life (QOL) Questionnaires: QLQ-PAN26 [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks during treatment for up to 36 months ]
    Compare QOL changes in scores between SBP-101 and placebo

  6. Number of Subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]
    Compare Safety and Tolerability of SBP-101 to placebo when administered in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine

  7. Exploratory [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 8 and maximum decrease overall assessed for up to 36 months ]
    Compare effects of SBP-101 and placebo on blood levels of CA 19-9 and circulating tumor DNA (cT DNA)

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Subjects with pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma may also be included.
  • Is previously untreated for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; metastatic disease must have been diagnosed within the past 3 months; and subject is expected to receive standard treatment with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Subjects who have had planned or prior surgery, such as a Whipple procedure, with or without neo-adjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy may be included.
  • Life expectancy ≥ 3 months.
  • Measurable disease on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan by RECIST v1.1 criteria.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0-1.
  • Adult, age ≥ 18 years, male or female.
  • Females of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days prior to start of study treatment and must use an adequate method of contraception during the study. All sexually active males must also use an adequate method of contraception during the study. Female subjects are considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are postmenopausal (at least 12 months of consecutive amenorrhea, without other known or suspected cause) and over 55 years old or have been sterilized surgically (i.e., bilateral tubal ligation, hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, all with surgery at least one month before dosing).

Subjects with pre-existing well-controlled diabetes are not excluded.
  • Medical or psychiatric conditions that compromise the subject's ability to give informed consent or to complete the protocol or a history of non-compliance.
  • Presence of islet-cell or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor or mixed adenocarcinoma-neuroendocrine carcinoma.
  • Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) malignancy or metastasis. Screening of asymptomatic subjects without history of CNS metastases is not required.
  • Serum albumin < 30 g/L (3.0 g/dL).

  • Presence of interstitial lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, or pulmonary hypersensitivity reaction.
  • Myocardial infarction within the last 12 months, severe/unstable angina, symptomatic congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV.
  • Pregnant or lactating.
  • Major surgery within 4 weeks of the start of study treatment, without complete recovery.
  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of study treatments.
