Study Summary

This trial tests if a combination of immunotherapy, adenosine blocker and chemotherapy can treat pancreatic cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, who have not been treated before and are in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1). They must have adequate blood counts, organ function, and agree to use effective contraception. Excluded are those with severe neuropathy, active infections requiring IV treatment within 14 days of the trial start, uncontrolled medical conditions, recent major surgery or trauma within 28 days prior to first dose of study drug, known poorly-controlled HIV/HBV/HCV infection or other serious comorbidities.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination therapy for pancreatic cancer that includes zimberelimab (an immunotherapy drug), quemliclustat (a blocker for adenosine which may improve immune response against cancer), and chemotherapy drugs like oxaliplatin and irinotecan. The goal is to see if this combo works better than chemotherapy alone at killing cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system attacking normal organs (autoimmune reactions), infusion-related reactions from the drugs being administered into the bloodstream, fatigue from energy depletion due to treatment, digestive issues such as nausea or diarrhea caused by chemotherapy drugs affecting rapidly dividing cells in the gut lining.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (zimberelimab, quemliclustat, chemotherapy)Experimental Treatment10 Interventions
Patients receive zimberelimab IV, quemliclustat IV, oxaliplatin IV, leucovorin calcium IV, and inrinotecan IV on study. Patients undergo collection of blood samples and CT throughout the trial. Patients with borderline-resectable pancreatic cancer undergo collection of tissue samples. Patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer undergo core biopsy.
