Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of M3814 (peposertib) in combination with hypofractionated radiotherapy in patients receiving treatment for locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (LAPC). (Phase I) II. To determine the difference in progression free survival (PFS) between patients with LAPC treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy in combination with M3814 (peposertib) as compared to patients treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy alone. (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity. (Phase I) II. To evaluate plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of M3814 (peposertib) in patients receiving hypofractionated radiotherapy. (Phase I) III. To compare the 2-year overall survival (OS) rate of patients treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy plus M3814 (peposertib) to that of those treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy alone. (Phase II) IV. To compare the objective response rate (ORR) by imaging of patients treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy plus M3814 (peposertib) to that of those treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy alone. (Phase II) V. To compare the disease control rate in patients treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy plus M3814 (peposertib) as compared to those patients treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy alone. (Phase II) VI. To explore gene signature patterns in baseline patient tumor tissues that may suggest response to the combination of M3814 (peposertib) and radiotherapy, as identified on whole exome sequencing and ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing (seq). (Phase II)
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To explore changes in gene signature induced by M3814 (peposertib) and hypofractionated radiotherapy treatment as identified in analysis of cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from the peripheral blood. (Phase II)
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of M3814 followed by a phase II study.
PHASE I: Patients undergo hypofractionated radiation therapy for 5 fractions every other day (QOD) over 2 weeks and receive M3814 orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PHASE II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP I: Patients undergo hypofractionated radiation therapy for 5 fractions QOD over 2 weeks and receive M3814 PO QD for 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
GROUP II: Patients undergo hypofractionated radiation therapy for 5 fractions QOD over 2 weeks and receive placebo PO QD for 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients undergo blood sample collection and tissue biopsy on study. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during screening and on study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30, 60, and 90 days, and then every 3 months for up to 2 years.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Received 4-6 months of induction chemotherapy with fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX), fluorouracil, liposomal irinotecan, leucovorin, oxaliplatin (NALIRIFOX), or gemcitabine/Abraxane, as per standard of care
* Patients must have locally advanced pancreatic cancer according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines (version 1.2020) on pancreas protocol CT scan performed within 21 days of registration. Locally advanced disease is defined as any of the following:
* For head or uncinate process tumors:
* Solid tumor contact with superior mesenteric artery \> 180 degrees
* Solid tumor contact with the celiac axis \> 180 degrees
* Solid tumor contact with the common or proper hepatic arteries \> 180 degrees or
* For pancreatic body or tail tumors:
* Solid tumor contact of \> 180 degrees with the superior mesenteric artery or celiac axis
* Solid tumor contact with the celiac axis and aortic involvement or
* Unreconstructible superior mesenteric vein or portal vein due to tumor involvement or occlusion (can be due to tumor or bland thrombus)
* The determination of locally advanced pancreatic cancer and plan for non-operative treatment on this clinical trial must be confirmed through local multi-disciplinary review

* Patients who cannot discontinue concomitant medications or herbal supplements that are strong inhibitors or strong inducers of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes CYP3A4/5, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. Concomitant use of substrates with a narrow therapeutic index that are metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, and CYP3A4/5 are also excluded.
* Use caution with other substrates of CYP3A4/5, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8 and substrates of P-gp, BCRP, OCT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, and MATE-2K with a narrow therapeutic index. Close monitoring is advised.
Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated medical reference. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product. (Patient Drug Interactions Handout and Wallet Card) should be provided to patients
* Patients who cannot discontinue concomitant proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs). Patients may confer with the study doctor to determine if such medications can be discontinued. These must be discontinued \>= 5 days prior to study treatment. Patients do not need to discontinue calcium carbonate. H2 blockers and antacids are allowed.
* Patients who have received a live attenuated vaccine within 30 days of dosing with M3814 (peposertib)
* Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness
* Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
* Pregnant women are excluded from this study because M3814 (peposertib) is a DNA-protein kinase (PK) inhibitor with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with M3814 (peposertib), breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with M3814 (peposertib)
* Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of this investigational regimen
