Brief Summary

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

This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of BMS-986340 in combination with nivolumab, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel and how well it works in treating patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). BMS-986340 is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill tumor cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Nab-paclitaxel is an albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation of paclitaxel which may have fewer side effects and work better than other forms of paclitaxel. Giving BMS-986340 in combination with nivolumab, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Study Groups

Treatment (BMS-986340, nivolumab, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel)

Patients receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes and BMS-986340 IV over 60 minutes on day 1, as well as nab-paclitaxel IV over 30-40 minutes and gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo urine and blood sample collection, tissue biopsy, and CT throughout the study. Additionally, patients with known or suspected brain metastases may also undergo brain MRI throughout the study.
