Brief Summary:
This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion, with a gated randomization portion, study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and clinical activity of AB680 in combination with Zimberelimab (AB122), nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine in participants with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Advanced Pancreatic Cancer Drug: AB680 Drug: Zimberelimab Drug: Nab-paclitaxel Drug: Gemcitabine Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Dose escalation of AB680 in combination with Zimberelimab (AB122), nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine will be assessed in participants with advanced pancreatic cancer. In this dose escalation combination study, participants with advanced pancreatic cancer will receive escalating doses of AB680 in combination with Zimberelimab at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine at standard doses. AB680, Zimberelimab, nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine are all administered via IV infusion.

In the dose expansion portion of the study in front-line (1L) pancreatic patients, participants will receive AB680 at the RP2D determined from the dose escalation study in combination with Zimberelimab at the RP2D and nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine at standard doses or AB680 at the RP2D in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine at standard doses. In the dose-expansion portion of the study in second-line (2L) pancreatic patients, participants will receive AB680 at the RP2D determined from the dose-escalation study in combination with Zimberelimab at the RP2D and nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine at standard doses.

  • Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial
  • Any active autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease or history of a syndrome that required systemic steroids or immunosuppressive medications, except for vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy. Participants with asthma who require intermittent use of bronchodilators (such as albuterol) will not be excluded from this study
