Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An open-label dose escalating phase Ib study of SCO-101 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. The primary objectives are to establish the safety profile and the MTD of SCO-101 when combined with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. The starting dose of SCO-101 is 150 mg and the dose may be increased to a maximum of 350 mg.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is an open-label dose escalating phase Ib study of SCO-101 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. The primary objective is to establish the safety, tolerability and MTD of SCO-101 when combined with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Secondary objectives are efficacy and to establish PK parameters of SCO-101. The target indication is patients with inoperal pancreatic cancer who are to be treated with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. The study is designed as a standard 3+3 dose escalation study with increasing doses of SCO-101 and a fixed dose (standard regimen) of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. An interim report will be prepared once the last patient in the MTD cohort has completed one treatment cycle. Patients will continue treatment until disease progression to evaluate secondary objectives. One treatment Cycle is 28 days. The starting dose of SCO-101 is 150 mg 6 daily dosing in a bi-weekly schedule) and may be increased to a maximum of 350 mg (5 cohorts with 50 mg increments). A total of up to 18 patients are anticipated if dose escalation to the 5th cohort. Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel is administered according to local standard recommendations once weekly for three weeks followed by one weeks treatment holiday (dosing on day 6, day 13 and day 20). Patients may continue treatment until treatment progression.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SCO-101 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel

Patients receive escalating doses of SCO-101 in combination with the standard recommended dose of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel according to local clinical practice. Gemcintabine and nab-paclitaxel is the recommended treatment for the patient group.

Starting dose of SCO-101 is 150 mg. Maximum dose tested is 350 mg. The dose is increased with 50 mg increments between each cohort.
