Brief Summary:
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant treatment with pamrevlumab or placebo in combination with either gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (G/NP) or FOLFIRINOX in the treatment of participants with locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pancreatic Cancer Non-resectable Drug: Pamrevlumab + Gemcitabine + Nab-paclitaxel or Pamrevlumab + FOLFIRINOX Drug: Placebo + Gemcitabine + Nab-paclitaxel or Placebo + FOLFIRINOX Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two study treatment arms; pamrevlumab with either G/NP or FOLFIRINOX, placebo with G/NP or FOLFIRINOX.

Each participant may receive up to 6 cycles of treatment (each treatment cycle is 28 days). Tumor tissue will be collected during resection to determine surgical outcome and for biomarker analysis. Tumor response will be evaluated by changes in CT scan, FDG-PET, CA 19-9, and NCCN® guidelines.

All participants randomized will have a safety follow-up visit approximately 28 days after the last dose of study treatment and a final safety follow-up phone call at approximately 60 days after the last dose.

Participants who complete study treatment will be evaluated for surgical exploration for possible R0 or R1 resection. Surgery will occur at least 4 weeks after the last dose (allowing for a wash-out period from treatment) and only after receipt of the recommendation from the central review board with regards to surgical eligibility. Surgery will occur no longer than 8 weeks after the last dose. Participants who undergo surgery will be evaluated for surgical complications for at least an additional 90 days following discharge from surgery.

Participants who are ineligible for surgical exploration (i.e. participants who did not complete study treatment or do not meet any of the protocol defined criteria or had a contraindication to surgery) will continue in the Follow-up period and receive treatment as per standard of care (SOC) for each institution.

All participants will be followed for disease progression (if not previously detected) or recurrence following resection (local progression or metastatic disease). Participants will also be followed for any additional anti-cancer therapy received for their pancreatic cancer. All participants will be followed for survival (until death) or until the last participant to complete treatment reaches 18 months post-treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Randomization to death due to any cause or until the last participant to complete treatment reaches 18 months post-treatment ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Event-free survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: Randomization until one of the following events, whichever occurs first: resection failure or progression that precludes surgery, local or distant recurrence, death (assessed up to 6 years) ]
  2. Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Randomization until disease progression or death, whichever occurs first (assessed up to 6 years) ]
  3. Best Overall Objective Response Rate (ORR), as Assessed Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 [ Time Frame: Randomization until centrally-assessed progressive disease (PD), death, or first administration of anti-tumor treatment (other than study medication), whichever occurs first (assessed up to 6 years) ]
    Best ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) during treatment period.
