IBI343 Combined With Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

February 10, 2026 updated by: TingBo Liang, Zhejiang University

A Phase II Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of IBI343 Combined With Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Subjects With Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

This study is a Phase II trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of IBI343 in combination with chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy for subjects with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC). The study enrolls treatment-naïve subjects with CLDN18.2-positive BRPC, confirmed by imaging and pathological diagnosis. Subjects will receive 4 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy. During or after neoadjuvant therapy, subjects who are unable to undergo radical surgical resection due to disease progression or other reasons will discontinue study treatment. After imaging assessment, subjects deemed eligible for radical resection by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) will undergo radical surgery 14-28 days after the last dose of neoadjuvant therapy . Following surgery, subjects will receive adjuvant therapy with the AG regimen or investigator-selected adjuvant chemotherapy. Adjuvant therapy will begin 21-56 days post-surgery, and the total duration of preoperative neoadjuvant and postoperative adjuvant therapy will be 6 months. Subjects will continue adjuvant therapy until the planned treatment duration is completed, or until disease recurrence, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, loss to follow-up, death, or other treatment discontinuation criteria are met (whichever occurs first). After discontinuation of study treatment, subjects will undergo safety follow-up and survival follow-up.

Detailed Description

This study is a Phase II trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of IBI343 in combination with chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy for subjects with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC). The study enrolls treatment-naïve subjects with CLDN18.2-positive BRPC, confirmed by imaging (contrast-enhanced CT or MRI) and pathological diagnosis. Subjects will receive 4 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy with the following regimen: IBI343 6mg/kg IV D1 Q3W + Gemcitabine 800mg/m² IV D1, D8 Q3W + Nab-paclitaxel 100mg/m² IV D1, D8 Q3W. During or after neoadjuvant therapy, subjects who are unable to undergo radical surgical resection due to disease progression (based on RECIST v1.1) or other reasons will discontinue study treatment. After imaging assessment, subjects deemed eligible for radical resection by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) will undergo radical surgery 14-28 days after the last dose of neoadjuvant therapy (for subjects unable to undergo surgery within this window due to adverse events or other reasons, radical surgery must be performed no later than 42 days after the last dose of neoadjuvant therapy). Following surgery, subjects will receive adjuvant therapy with the AG regimen or investigator-selected adjuvant chemotherapy (gemcitabine monotherapy or gemcitabine combined with capecitabine). Adjuvant therapy will begin 21-56 days post-surgery, and the total duration of preoperative neoadjuvant and postoperative adjuvant therapy will be 6 months. Subjects will continue adjuvant therapy until the planned treatment duration is completed, or until disease recurrence, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, loss to follow-up, death, or other treatment discontinuation criteria are met (whichever occurs first). After discontinuation of study treatment, subjects will undergo safety follow-up and survival follow-up.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
12-month Event-Free Survival (EFS) rate
Time Frame: Up to one year
The proportion of patients who had tumor progression, tumor recurrence (local, regional or distant) or death within 1 year after surgery, whichever occurred first
Up to one year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Event Free Survival, EFS
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
From treatment to the date of the first documented tumor progression, tumor into recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurred first
Up to 2 years
R0 resection rate
Time Frame: Up to 1 year
R0 resection rate is the percentage of patients who undergo a surgical procedure where the surgeon successfully removes the entire visible tumor and a microscopic examination confirms that no cancer cells are left at the edges (margins) of the removed tissue.
Up to 1 year
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Up to 2 years

The proportion of patients whose tumor shrinks (responds) by a predefined amount from its baseline size for a minimum period of time. It includes two categories of response:

Up to 2 years
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Time Frame: Up to 2 yeas
The proportion of patients who have achieved a best response of either Stable Disease (SD), Partial Response (PR), or Complete Response (CR). It essentially measures the treatment's ability to stop the cancer from growing.
Up to 2 yeas
Overall Survival (OS)
