Study Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment for pancreatic cancer patients using two drugs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma who've had no more than one prior platinum-based chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. They must have measurable disease, adequate organ function, and agree to use contraception. Excluded are those with previous WEE1 inhibitor treatment, certain CNS diseases, hypersensitivity to study drugs, recent major surgery or inability to swallow pills.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the combination of ZN-c3 (a WEE1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor) and Gemcitabine (a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor) for safety and effectiveness against pancreatic cancer. Participants will receive both medications under controlled conditions to evaluate how well they work together.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune system suppression such as increased risk of infection, gastrointestinal issues affecting absorption of medication, possible liver complications due to hepatitis B or C history requirements, and general drug sensitivities.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: ZN-c3 + GemcitabineExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Study procedures will be conducted as follows: Cycle 1 - End of Treatment Days 1 - 5 of 21-day cycle: Predetermined dose of ZN-c3 1x daily. Days 8 - 12 of 21-day cycle: Predetermined dose of ZN-c3 1x daily. Days 15 - 19 of 21-day cycle: Predetermined dose of ZN-c3 1x daily. Day 1 and 8 of 21-day cycle: Predetermined dose of Gemcitabine 1x daily. On-treatment tumor biopsy will be collected on either Cycle 1 Day 9 - 10 or Cycle 2 Day 9 - 10. Tumor assessment by Computerized Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan every 8 weeks while on treatment. End of treatment visit with tumor assessment by CT or MRI and optional tumor biopsy. Follow up visit every 2 months after treatment has ended.
