Brief summary
This is an open-label, phase 2 non-comparative study to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of nal-IRI in combination with other anticancer therapies in patients not previously treated for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This study will assess the following regimen: • nal-IRI + 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV) + oxaliplatin The study will be conducted in two parts: Part 1, consisting of an initial dose exploration (Part 1A) followed by dose expansion (Part 1B) of the irinotecan liposome injection +5-FU/LV + oxaliplatin regimen and Part 2, consisting of a comparison of irinotecan liposome injection-containing regimen versus nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine. The comparative Part 2 was removed in a protocol amendment, dated 11 April 2018 (Version 6.0), before it was initiated, as this comparative part of the study is being undertaken as a stand-alone phase III study D-US-60010-001. This CSR only pertains to the single-arm dose exploration and dose expansion Part 1 results and no further reference is made to the comparative Part 2.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Part 1A: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT) | From the start of the first study treatment (Cycle 1 Day 1) up to 14 days after the second dose of study treatment, maximum of 42 days | Adverse events (AEs) were considered to be DLTs if they occurred during the safety evaluation period (i.e, 28 days of Cycle 1; or 14 days after the second dose of study treatment if there was a treatment delay) and were deemed related to the study treatment regimen. Any AE that was related to disease progression was not considered a DLT. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Median Progression Free Survival (PFS) | RECIST assessments performed at baseline (within 28 days before start of study treatment), every 8 weeks after first dose, end of treatment (EoT) visit, then every 2 months thereafter (maximum of 278 weeks). | The PFS was defined as the time from date of first study treatment to the first documented radiographical progression of disease (PD), per investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1, or death from any cause, whichever comes first. The PFS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier technique. |
| Overall Response Rate (ORR) | RECIST assessments performed at baseline (within 28 days before start of study treatment), every 8 weeks after first dose, EoT visit, then every 2 months thereafter (maximum of 278 weeks). | The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a BOR characterized as either a CR or PR relative to the total number of evaluable participants using RECIST Version 1.1. Evaluable participants were defined as treated participants with measurable disease at baseline. |
| Best Overall Response (BOR) | RECIST assessments performed at baseline (within 28 days before start of study treatment), every 8 weeks after first dose, EoT visit, then every 2 months thereafter (maximum of 278 weeks). | The BOR was defined as the best response (complete response \[CR\] + partial response \[PR\] + stable disease \[SD\]) recorded from the start of study treatment until disease progression or start of new anticancer therapy using RECIST Version 1.1. |
| Median Overall Survival (OS) | RECIST assessments performed at baseline (within 28 days before start of study treatment), every 8 weeks after first dose, EoT visit, then every 2 months thereafter (maximum of 278 weeks). | The OS was the time from date of first study treatment to the date of death from any cause. Participant survival data were collected from all available sources. The OS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier technique. |
| Median Duration of Response (DoR) | RECIST assessments performed at baseline (within 28 days before start of study treatment), every 8 weeks after first dose, EoT visit, then every 2 months thereafter (maximum of 278 weeks). | The DoR was defined as the time from the first date of response (CR or PR) to first date of documented radiographical PD, per investigator using RECIST Version 1.1. This only applied to participants with CR or PR. If a participant was given a new anticancer therapy prior to first response, DoR was not calculated. The DoR was calculated using Kaplan-Meier technique. |
