Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: safety run in: to confirm the recommended phase 3 dose (RP3D) of NIS793 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel randomized part: to compare OS in participants with mPDAC treated as the first line treatment with the combination of NIS793, gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel to the combination of placebo with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel;Secondary Objective: safety run in: 1. safety and tolerability of NIS793 in combination with SoC 2. PK of NIS793 in combination with SoC 3. preliminary anti-tumor activity of NIS793 in combination with SoC randomized part: 1. efficacy (PFS, ORR, DCR; DOR, TTR) of NIS793 in combination with SoC versus placebo in combination with SoC 2. safety and tolerability in each treatment arm 3. explore PK of NIS793 in combination with gemcitabine and nabpaclitaxel 4. characterize the incidence of immunogenicity of NIS793 in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel;Primary end point(s): safety run in: incidence of DLTs in the first cycle randomized part: OS;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: safety run in: 4 weeks of treatment randomized part: at participants' death

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): safety run in: 1. safety: incidence and severity of AEs 2. tolerability: dose interruptions, dose reductions, dose intensity 3. PK parameters for NIS793 in combination with SoC 4. PFS, ORR, DCR, DOR, TTR randomized part: 1. PFS, ORR, DCR, DOR, TTR 2. incidence and severity of AEs and SAEs, dose interruptions, dose reductions 3. For participants with intense PK sampling enrolled in China, NIS793 serum concentrations over time and derived PK parameters (e.g. Cmax, AUC) 4. For participants without intensive PK sampling, PK parameters including Cmax, Ctrough and Ctroughss for NIS793 5. Anti-drug antibodies (ADA) prevalence at baseline and ADA incidence on-treatment;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: safety run in: 1-3. first 4 weeks of treatment 4. end of study randomized part at protocol defined timepoints (12 weeks) end of study
