A Phase 1b/2 Multicenter, International, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Study of Gemcitabine Combined With PEGPH20 Compared to Gemcitabine Combined With Placebo in Patients With Stage IV Previously Untreated Pancreatic Cancer
Phase 1B: Open label (all patients receive PEGPH20+gemcitabine), dose escalation, safety and
tolerability study to determine the safe dose of PEGPH20 to use in combination with
gemcitabine in Stage IV previously untreated pancreatic cancer patients.
Phase 2: Randomized, double blind study to compare the effect of overall survival of
gemcitabine plus PEGPH20 vs gemcitabine plus placebo in Stage IV previously untreated
pancreatic cancer patients.
tolerability study to determine the safe dose of PEGPH20 to use in combination with
gemcitabine in Stage IV previously untreated pancreatic cancer patients.
Phase 2: Randomized, double blind study to compare the effect of overall survival of
gemcitabine plus PEGPH20 vs gemcitabine plus placebo in Stage IV previously untreated
pancreatic cancer patients.
PEGPH20 is a PEGylated version of human recombinant PH20 hyaluronidase that, in preclinical
studies, has been shown to remove HA from the extracellular matrix surrounding tumor cells by
depolymerizing this substrate. 87% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDA) overexpress HA.
PDA tumor tissue may be especially sensitive to the HA-degradation properties of PEGPH20 and
thus more responsive to the cytotoxic effects of a given dose of gemcitabine. Modifying the
extracellular environment to increase the penetration and efficacy of anti-cancer agents
represents a novel approach to treating pancreatic cancer and may provide important
therapeutic outcomes in patients with Stage IV Previously Untreated Pancreatic Cancer.
This Phase 1B/2 study will assess safety, tolerability, treatment effect, and various PK/PD
endpoints.
