| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Pancreatic Cancer Non-resectable | Drug: Pamrevlumab + Gemcitabine + Nab-paclitaxel or Pamrevlumab + FOLFIRINOX Drug: Placebo + Gemcitabine + Nab-paclitaxel or Placebo + FOLFIRINOX | Phase 3 |
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two study treatment arms; pamrevlumab with either G/NP or FOLFIRINOX, placebo with G/NP or FOLFIRINOX.
Each subject may receive up to six cycles of treatment (each treatment cycle is 28 days). Tumor tissue will be collected during resection to determine surgical outcome and for biomarker analysis. Tumor response will be evaluated by changes in CT scan, FDG-PET, CA 19-9, and NCCN® guidelines.
All subjects randomized will have a safety follow-up visit approximately 28 days after the last dose of study treatment and a final safety follow-up phone call at approximately 60 days after the last dose.
Subjects who complete 6 cycles of treatment will be evaluated for surgical exploration for possible R0 or R1 resection. Surgery will occur at least 4 weeks after the last dose (allowing for a wash-out period from treatment) and only after receipt of the recommendation from the central review board with regards to surgical eligibility. Surgery will occur no longer than 8 weeks after the last dose. Subjects who undergo surgery will be evaluated for surgical complications for at least an additional 90 days following discharge from surgery.
Subjects who are ineligible for surgical exploration (i.e. subjects who did not complete 6 cycles of treatment or do not meet any of the protocol defined criteria or had a contraindication to surgery) will continue in the Follow-up period and receive treatment as per standard of care (SOC) for each institution.
All subjects will be followed for disease progression (if not previously detected) or recurrence following resection (local progression or metastatic disease). Subjects will also be followed for any additional anti-cancer therapy received for their pancreatic cancer. All subjects will be followed for survival (until death) or until the last subject to complete treatment reaches 18 months post-treatment.

Placebo Comparator: Arm B
Placebo + Gemcitabine + Nab-paclitaxel or Placebo + FOLFIRINOX
|
Drug: Placebo + Gemcitabine + Nab-paclitaxel or Placebo + FOLFIRINOX
Drug: Placebo is administered on Days 1, 8 and 15 of Treatment Cycle 1 and on Day 1 and 15 of each subsequent treatment cycle via IV infusion. Drug: Gemcitabine is administered on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28 day treatment cycle via IV infusion. Drug: Nab-paclitaxel is administered on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28 day treatment cycle via IV infusion. Drug: FOLFIRINOX is a combination of several agents administered on Days 1 and 15 of each 28 day treatment cycle via IV infusion. The specific agents are Oxaliplatin, Folinic Acid, Irinotecan, and Fluorouracil. Other Names:

- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Randomization to death due to any cause or until the last subject to complete treatment reaches 18 months post-treatment ]
- Proportion of all randomized subjects in whom R0 or R1 resection is achieved [ Time Frame: After completion of 24 weeks of treatment ]
- Event-free survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: Randomization until one of the following events, whichever occurs first: progression that precludes surgery, local or distant recurrence, death. Assessed up to 6 years. ]
- Change in patient reported outcomes as measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (EORTC QLQ-C30 Version 3.0). [ Time Frame: Baseline through safety follow up (~4 weeks post-last dose) ]
The EORTC QLQ-C30 uses for the questions 1 to 28 on a 4-point scale. The scale scores from 1 to 4: 1 ("Not at all"), 2 ("A little"), 3 ("Quite a bit") and 4 ("Very much"). Half points are not allowed. The range is 3. For the raw score, less points are considered to have a better outcome.
The EORTC QLQ-C30 uses for the questions 29 and 30 on a 7-points scale. The scale scores from 1 to 7: 1 ("very poor") to 7 ("excellent"). Half points are not allowed. The range is 6. First of all, raw score has to be calculated with mean values. Afterwards linear transformation is performed to be comparable. More points are considered to have a better outcome.
- Patient-Reported Outcomes National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO CTCAE) Severity and Interference Items (decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and fatigue) [ Time Frame: Baseline through safety follow up (~4 weeks post-last dose) ]
6 item questionnaire with 1-3 questions per item related to frequency, severity and interference
- Frequency answers range from Never to Almost Constantly.
- Severity answers range from None to Very Severe.
- Interference answers range from Not at all to Very much.
- PRO-CTCAE responses are scored from 0 to 4, and there are no standardized scoring rules yet established for how to combine attributes into a single score or how best to analyze PRO-CTCAE data longitudinally.
- PRO-CTCAE scores for each attribute (frequency, severity and/or interference) will be presented descriptively.
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Randomization until the last subject to complete treatment reaches 18 months post treatment. ]
