Study Overview

Safety and Efficacy of Mitazalimab in Combination with Chemotherapy in Pancreatic Cancer Patients

Phase 1b/2 study to assess the safety and efficacy of mitazalimab in combination with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

OPTIMIZE-1 is a phase 1b/2, open-label, multi-center study assessing the clinical efficacy of mitazalimab in combination with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The efficacy of intravenously administered mitazalimab in combination with the standard of care chemotherapy mFOLFIRINOX will be evaluated in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Two dose levels of mitazalimab, 450 ug/kg and 900 ug/kg, are planned to be evaluated together with mFOLFIRINOX for determination of recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of mitazalimab in combination with mFOLFIRINOX before entering a dose expansion part with RP2D obtained. The expansion part will evaluate the clinical efficacy of mitazalimab in combination with mFOLFIRINOX assessing objective response rate (ORR), primary endpoint, as well as Progression-free survival (PFS) and Overall survival (OS). The dose expansion part includes a Simon´s two-stage design with an interim analysis for stop for futility or efficacy based on ORR.
