Brief Summary

The study is being conducted to to explore the reasonable dosage and evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of HLX43 (Anti-PD-L1 ADC) in Patients with Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)

Detailed Description

This study is an open-label phase II clinical study to explore the reasonable dosage and evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of HLX43 (Anti-PD-L1 ADC) in Patients with Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In this study, eligible subjects will be randomized at 1:1 ratio, and the patients will be administered with HLX43 at different doses via intravenous infusion.

Conditions

Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

HLX43 DOSE 1 (2.5 mg/kg)

Patients with good tolerability and well controlled disease will receive the treatment once every 3 weeks (Q3W), Until disease progression, initiation of a new anti-tumor therapy, death, emergence of intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent (whichever occurs first)

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

HLX43 DOSE 1 (2.5 mg/kg)

Intervention Type: DRUG

HLX43 is an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody conjugated with a novel high potency DNA topoisomerase I (topo I) inhibitor, with a drug-antibody-ratio (DAR) of 8.

HLX43 DOSE 2 (3.0 mg/kg)

Patients with good tolerability and well controlled disease will receive the treatment once every 3 weeks (Q3W), Until disease progression, initiation of a new anti-tumor therapy, death, emergence of intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent (whichever occurs first)

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

HLX43 DOSE 2 (3.0 mg/kg)

Intervention Type: DRUG

HLX43 is an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody conjugated with a novel high potency DNA topoisomerase I (topo I) inhibitor, with a drug-antibody-ratio (DAR) of 8.
