Atebimetinib + GnP as a First Line Treatment in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

A Phase 3 Randomized, Open-Label Study of Atebimetinib in Combination With the Modified Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel Regimen Versus the Standard Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel Regimen for the Treatment of Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Cancer (MAPKeeper 301)

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of atebimetinib in combination with modified GnP compared with SOC GnP alone.

Detailed description

This is a global, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study designed to evaluate whether treatment with atebimetinib plus a modified schedule of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel will improve overall survival compared with standard gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel when given as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Patients will be randomized to one of two arms: Arm A with atebimetinib + gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (modified dosing schedule) or Arm B with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel.

Interventions

DRUGGnP

Standard of care regimen for intravenous infusions of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel weekly for three weeks followed by one week without an infusion

DRUGmGnP

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall SurvivalUp to approximately 2 yearsThe OS of participants with atebimetinib in combination with mGnP versus GnP

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free Survival (PFS)Up to approximately 2 yearsThe PFS of participants with atebimetinib in combination with mGnP versus GnP
Overall Response Rate (ORR)Up to approximately 2 yearsThe ORR of participants with atebimetinib in combination with mGnP versus GnP
Disease Control Rate (DCR)Up to approximately 2 yearsThe DCR in participants with atebimetinib in combination with mGnP versus GnP
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)Up to approximately 2 yearsThe safety and tolerability of atebimetinib in combination with mGnP versus GnP assessed by percentage of participants with AEs based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v6
Quality of Life (QOL) with European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)Up to approximately 2 yearsEORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item cancer-specific instrument consisting of 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), 9 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting, dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, constipation/diarrhea, and financial difficulties), and an overall scale for global health status. Change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 global health status will be assessed, with higher scores reflecting better functioning.
