9-ING-41 Plus Retifanlimab and Gemcitabine/Nab-Paclitaxel in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma — RiLEY  

Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of 9-ING-41, a Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3-beta (GSK-3β) Inhibitor, Combined With Retifanlimab, a PD-1 Inhibitor, Plus Gemcitabine/Nab-Paclitaxel as Frontline Therapy for Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (RiLEY)

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This trial examines how Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma reacts to the addition of 9-ING-41 and retifanlimab to the standard of care chemotherapy treatment, to see if using this combination will help and is able to effect disease progression.

Clinical Trial Description

Given the role of GSK-3β in immune regulation, the combination of GSK-3β inhibition with PD 1 inhibition may be expected to provide synergistic anti-tumor efficacy. The excellent safety profile of 9-ING-41, along with preclinical and clinical evidence of anti-tumor activity in pancreatic cancer, provides a strong rationale to evaluate the efficacy of 9-ING-41 in combination with a PD 1 inhibitor plus standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel) as frontline therapy for patients with advanced PDAC. The combination of 9-ING-41 and retifanlimab with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel has not previously been administered to human subjects. In the 1801 study, 9-ING- 41 has been administered in combination with various chemotherapy regimens including gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, with one 9-ING-41-related SAE (transient visual change) documented to date. Retifanlimab alone has been well-tolerated when administered for up to 2 years in patients with anal cancer. Overall, based on previous nonclinical and clinical experience, both of these agents appear to have an acceptable safety profile and do not appear to have significant overlapping toxicities. However, it is possible that when they are administered together and in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, more frequent or severe AEs, or new AEs not previously observed with any of these agents administered alone, may occur. It is not known if administration of 9-ING-41 and retifanlimab will act synergistically to provide increased anti-tumor activity compared to gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel alone. Subjects in this study should not expect to benefit directly by their participation in the study. The data collected in this study may benefit future cancer patients. ;
