Onvansertib in Combination With Gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel for the Treatment of Patients With Locally-advanced, Unresectable, or Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

• Status: WITHDRAWN
• Trial end date: 2027-06-07

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well onvansertib in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel works in treating patients with pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC) that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Onvansertib is a small chemical molecule that binds and stops the function of of PLK1 in tumor cells. By attacking the PLK1 protein, onvansertib is thought to reduce tumor cells ability to replicate and grow; causing them to die. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy with onvansertib may kill more tumor cells in patients with locally-advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic ductal carcinoma.
