A Phase 2 Study of siG12D LODER in Combination With Chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (PROTACT)

June 30, 2021 updated by: Silenseed Ltd

A Prospective, Multinational, Multi-Center, Phase 2, Single-Arm, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of siG12D-LODER in Combination With Standard of Care Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

In this Phase II study a dose of 2.8 mg (eight 0.35 mg siG12D-LODERs) will be administered in 12-week cycles to patients with unresectable or borderline resectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer combined with chemotherapy treatment.

Primary Outcome:

- ORR at 6 months.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In this Phase II study a dose of 2.8 mg (eight 0.35 mg siG12D-LODERs) will be administered in 12-week cycles to patients with unresectable or borderline resectable LAPC combined with chemotherapy treatment (Gemcitabine+nab-Paclitaxel or Folfirinox or modified Folfirinox). This will be a study to assess the response rate of the siG12D-LODER in patients with unresectable or borderline resectable LAPC. The study is of a single arm design with one arm receiving siG12D-LODER + chemotherapy.

The investigational agent siG12D-LODER is a miniature biodegradable bio polymeric matrix that encompasses the drug, designed and produced by Silenseed Ltd. The implantation of LODERs is selected to meet current gastroenterology endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) biopsy procedures, proved to be highly effective and safe.

siG12D-LODER has been studied in the escalating dose Phase I study of 15 patients, and results showed high safety and tolerability profiles, with no single DLT.
