Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase 3, open-label study to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR), in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) treated with relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel, according to blinded independent central review.

Description:

Relacorilant is a small-molecule antagonist of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The goals of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Eligible patients are those with mPDAC who have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in any setting, including at least 1 prior gemcitabine-based therapy and at least 1 prior fluoropyrimidine-based therapy. Patients will receive treatment until progressive disease (PD) (per RECIST v1.1) as determined by the Investigator, experiencing unmanageable toxicity, or until other treatment discontinuation criteria are met. All patients will be followed for documentation of disease progression and survival information (i.e., date and cause of death) and subsequent treatment.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with persistence of any of the following:

1. Bilirubin =1.5 × ULN (Upper Limit of Normal)

3. Fever or signs of infection

4. Decreasing hemoglobin or signs of blood loss. A history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or current chronic/active infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV). (Patients with chronic or active hepatitis B as diagnosed by serologic tests are excluded from the study. In equivocal cases, hepatitis B or C polymerase chain reaction results may be performed and must be negative for enrollment.) A rapid decline in KPS score or serum albumin (=20%), or have progressive pain symptoms indicative of rapid clinical deterioration, in the opinion of the Investigator, prior to enrollment. These patients will become ineligible if rapid decline is observed during the screening period.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)	Percentage of patients with measurable disease at baseline who achieved confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR). Tumor assessment consisted of computerized tomography (CT) scan or, with Sponsor approval, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions; any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as =30% decrease in the sum of the diameters (SOD) of target lesions.	Baseline and up to 32 weeks
Secondary	Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Investigator Assessment	Percentage of patients with measurable disease at baseline who achieved confirmed CR or PR per RECIST v1.1, as assessed by the Investigator. Tumor assessment consisted of CT scan or, with Sponsor approval, MRI.
