A Study of Durvalumab in Patients With BR PDA Following Neoadjuvant Therapy and Successful Surgical Resection

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a two-arm, open-label, phase II study of in adult patients who have successfully undergone R0/R1 resection of PDAs following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and completion of adjuvant chemotherapy. Within 1-3 months of treatment completion, patients will be enrolled and randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive durvalumab versus observation.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) patients who have successfully underwent R0/R1 resection of PDAs following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, between 1-3 months after the completion of planned adjuvant chemotherapy will be enrolled and randomized at a 1:1 ratio into two arms (56 per arm). Patients in Arm A will be given anti-PD-L1 antibody, durvalumab, every 2 weeks for a maximum of 26 doses if there is no radiographic evidence of disease recurrence. Patients in Arm B will be observed. Blood draws for immune monitoring and serum banking will be collected at the following time points: Arm A - before Cycles 1, 2, 4, 7 and End of Treatment (EOT) visit; Arm B - before Cycles 1, 4, 7, and End of Treatment (EOT) visit

Both women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and men who are sexually active with WOCBP must agree to use two (2) highly effective methods of contraception as outlined in this protocol for the duration of treatment with study drug plus 5 half-lives of study drug plus 90 days (duration of sperm turnover) for a total of 31 weeks post-treatment completion. Subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up. Have borderline resectable PDAs at the time of original diagnosis as per the AHPBA/SSO consensus on definition of borderline resectable PDA (see section 4.4 for definition of borderline resectable PDAs). Have had an R0/R1 resection of PDA following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Have been more than one month and less than 3 months after the completion of planned adjuvant chemotherapy. Have received at least one treatment of either FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine/abraxane based regimens in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant setting. Neoadjuvant radiation is allowed. Exclusion Criteria: Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff and/or staff at the study site). Previous enrollment in the present study Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 4 weeks. Any previous treatment with a PD1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, including durvalumab. History of another primary malignancy except for: Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease ≥5 years before the first dose of study drug and of low potential risk for recurrence Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease eg, cervical cancer in situ Receipt of the last dose of anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, tumor embolization, monoclonal antibodies, other investigational agent) ≤ 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug (≤ 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug for subjects who have received prior TKIs [e.g., erlotinib, gefitinib and crizotinib] and within 6 weeks for nitrosourea or mitomycin C). (If sufficient wash-out time has not occurred due to the schedule or PK properties of an agent, a longer wash-out period may be required.) Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) ≥470 ms calculated from 3 electrocardiograms (ECGs) using Frediricia's Correction Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days before the first dose of durvalumab, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid Any unresolved toxicity (>CTCAE grade 2) from previous anti-cancer therapy. Subjects with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by the investigational product may be included (e.g., hearing loss, peripherally neuropathy). Any prior Grade ≥3 immune-related adverse event (irAE) while receiving any previous immunotherapy agent, or any unresolved irAE >Grade 1 Active or prior documented autoimmune disease within the past 2 years NOTE: Subjects with vitiligo, Grave's disease, or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years) are not excluded.
