Study Overview

Study of Neo-adjuvant RO7009789 Alone or Neo-adjuvant RO7009789 Plus Nab-Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine Followed by Adjuvant RO7009789 Plus Nab-Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine for Patients With Newly Diagnosed Resectable Pancreatic Carcinoma

The main purpose of this study is to learn if adding the investigational drug RO7009789 (anti-CD40) to nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine both before surgery and after surgery is safe, feasible, and beneficial to patients with pancreatic cancer. This study also intends to look at blood and tissue samples to help doctors better understand the role of the immune system in fighting cancer.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Arm1

Arm I provides one dose of RO70097890 as a single agent in the neoadjuvant setting. Patients will recover from any toxicities and will then have their disease surgically resected. After recovery from surgery patients will proceed to adjuvant therapy which

EXPERIMENTAL: Arm2

Arm II provides one dose of RO7009789 two days after one dose of nab-paclitaxel and one dose of gemcitabine prior to surgery. Nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine are given on day 1. RO7009789 will be given on day 3. Patients will recover from any toxicities an

  • Patients with M1 disease or a history of M1 disease.
  • Patients with any type of recurrent pancreatic adenocarcinoma
  • Prior therapy such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy or anti-tumor experimental therapy for pancreatic cancer
  • Previous treatment with any other compound that targets CD40
  • Concurrent treatment with any anticancer agent outside of this protocol

  • Treatment on another therapeutic clinical trial within 4 weeks of enrollment in this trial
  • Concurrent or planned concurrent treatment with anticoagulants such as Coumadin or heparin, except to maintain patency of in-dwelling catheters
  • Ongoing or active infection; treatment with systemic antibiotics or antifungals for ongoing or recurrent infection (topical use of antibiotics or antifungals is allowed)
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding - female patients must be surgically sterile, be post-menopausal, or must agree to use effective contraception during the period of therapy and for 90 days following the last dose of RO7009789. All female patients with reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment. Women or men of reproductive potential may not participate unless they agree to use an effective contraceptive method. Female patients should not become pregnant while participating in this research study or for 90 days following therapy. Male patients should not father a child while in this research study or for 90 days following therapy.
  • Other uncontrolled, concurrent illness that would preclude study participation; or, psychiatric illness or social challenges that would entail unreasonable risk or preclude informed consent or compliance with study procedures
