Brief description of study

This study is a phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of ASP3082 for the first-line treatment of participants with metastatic PDAC with KRAS G12D mutation in combination with mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX. The study will be conducted in approximately 250 study sites across Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas (to ensure balance between countries, regional caps on enrollment may be implemented at the sponsor’s discretion). 
Potential participants will be screened for KRAS G12D mutation status based on local or central tests results and for prior chemotherapy treatment status. The screening period will last 45 days from ICF signing. Rescreening outside of the 45 day window under a new participant number may be allowed one time per participant, as needed, following discussion with the medical monitor. If rescreening occurs, KRAS G12D mutation status does not need to be retested.

Detailed description of study

All participants must submit a baseline tumor tissue specimen and a blood sample for diagnostic development for the study during screening.  Approximately 614 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 study arms:
1.    ASP3082 Arm: ASP3082 (600 mg) on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of every 28-day cycle, plus mFOLFIRINOX (oxaliplatin, leucovorin [folinic acid or levofolinate], irinotecan and 5 FU) or NALIRIFOX (liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, leucovorin [folinic acid or levofolinate] and 5 FU) on days 1 and 15 of every 28 day cycle.
2.    Placebo Arm: Placebo on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of every 28-day cycle, plus the mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX regimen, as detailed above, on days 1 and 15 of every 28 day cycle. 
The chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX) will be selected by the physician. Institutional standards or other published guidelines for mFOLFIRINOX and NALIRIFOX are permitted for use. Otherwise, the administration schedules listed above are recommended.
Participants will be stratified by ECOG PS (0 or 1), chemotherapy lead-in (yes or no) and chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX).
A baseline tumor scan is required within 28 days prior to randomization.
The study treatment period will begin on C1D1, with tumor assessments occurring every 8 weeks (± 1 week) from the date of randomization for the first 52 weeks, then every 12 weeks (± 1 week) thereafter until radiographic disease progression per RECIST v1.1, as assessed by the investigator, or until death, withdrawal of consent or loss to follow-up or until a discontinuation criterion is met (refer to [Section ‎8]), whichever occurs first.
The anticipated duration of the study for each participant, including screening and follow-up, is approximately 17 months.

This study investigates the effectiveness and safety of an investigational medication combined with chemotherapy as a first treatment for people with a specific type of pancreatic cancer called Kras G12D-mutated metastatic pancreatic cancer. Metastatic pancreatic cancer is a cancer that has spread from the pancreas to other parts of the body. The study will compare the investigational medication with a placebo, which is a substance that looks like the medicine but does not contain any medicine, to see if it improves overall survival and other outcomes.

Participants will receive either the investigational medication with chemotherapy or a placebo with chemotherapy. The study will look at outcomes like how long people live, how long they live without the cancer getting worse, and how the treatment affects their quality of life and pain levels. The study will also check for any side effects and how the body processes the investigational medication.

  • Who can participate: Participants must have a specific genetic change in their cancer cells (Kras G12D-mutated) and metastatic pancreatic cancer to join this study.
  • Study details: Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the investigational medication with chemotherapy or a placebo with chemotherapy. The study will monitor their overall health and response to the treatment.
