LBA5 Background: Available 2L therapies offer limited clinical benefit in mPDAC with reported mPFS of 3–4 mo and mOS of 6–7 mo. Aberrant RAS pathway activation is the key driver of PDAC, with oncogenic RAS mutations (mut) identified in >90% of cases, most commonly at codon G12. Daraxonrasib is an oral, RAS(ON) multi-selective, tri-complex inhibitor of the active, GTP-bound state of mutant and wild type RAS. Methods: RASolute 302 (NCT06625320) is a global, randomized, open-label, Ph 3 study in pts with 2L mPDAC and ECOG PS 0-1. Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive daraxonrasib 300 mg PO QD or investigator’s choice of SOC cytotoxic chemo. Dual primary endpoints were OS and PFS by BICR in the RAS G12 mutant (RAS G12) population. Key secondary endpoints included OS and PFS by BICR in the overall population, ORR by BICR in RAS G12 and overall populations. Results: 248 pts were randomized to daraxonrasib and 252 to chemo. Baseline characteristics were balanced between arms. At data cutoff (Feb 10, 2026; mFU: 8.5 mo), all primary and key secondary endpoints were met. Statistically significant, clinically meaningful improvements in OS and PFS were observed with daraxonrasib vs chemo in the RAS G12 and overall populations (Table). Gr ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 43.6% of pts receiving daraxonrasib vs 57.5% receiving chemo. The most common (≥10%) Gr ≥3 TRAEs were rash (13.7%) and stomatitis (12.0%) for daraxonrasib; neutrophil decrease (18.2%) and anemia (16.4%) for chemo. TRSAEs occurred in 10.8% of pts receiving daraxonrasib vs 18.7% receiving chemo. Discontinuation due to TRAEs occurred in 1.2% of pts for daraxonrasib vs 11.2% for chemo. Median/mean daraxonrasib dose intensity was 93.1%/84.7%. Conclusions: Daraxonrasib demonstrated unprecedented improvements in OS and PFS vs chemo in pts with 2L mPDAC with or without an identified tumor RAS mut. Daraxonrasib was generally well tolerated, with a manageable safety profile and with no new safety signals. Results support daraxonrasib as the new SOC for 2L mPDAC.

TPS4208 Background: Metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) carries a 5-year relative survival of 3%. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have thus far failed to improve outcomes due to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Signaling through the C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4)/C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) axis results in exclusion of anti-tumor immune cells in mouse PDAC models. Longitudinal survival studies testing combinations of CXCR4i, aPD-1, and gemcitabine in the KPC mouse model of PDAC demonstrated a survival benefit with the combination of all three agents. Results from a multicenter, investigator-initiated, single arm pilot study evaluating the preliminary safety and efficacy ofMotixafortide (CXCR4i), Cemiplimab (aPD1), Gemcitabine, and Nab-paclitaxel (MCGN) in 11 patients with treatment-naïve mPDAC were recently presented. Seven patients (64%) achieved a partial response, including 6 confirmed partial responses, and 10 patients (91%) had disease control, compared to historic partial response and disease control rates of 23% and 48%, respectively, with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (GN). Preliminary median progression-free survival (PFS) was 9.6 months compared to historic median PFS of 5.5 months with GN. Analysis of paired pre- and on-treatment biopsy samples from demonstrated an increase in CD8+ T-cell density in tumors from all 11 patients treated with MCGN (p=0.007). Based on these promising results, the protocol was amended from a single arm expansion totaling 40 patients to a randomized phase 2 study. Methods: This is an open-label, multicenter, investigator-initiated phase 2 clinical trial. Patients are randomized 2:1 to receive MCGN or GNalone (N=108). The primary endpoint is progression free survival. The study has 80% power to detect an improvement in PFS from 6 to 9.2 months (HR 0.65) with a one-sided alpha of 0.20. One interim analysis for futility is planned when 50% of the PFS events are observed. Secondary objectives include response rate, disease control rate, duration of clinical benefit and overall survival. Patients will undergo optional paired biopsies which will be analyzed in conjunction with samples collected from the phase I pilot study. Exploratory studies include interrogation of the TME using quantitative multiplex immunofluorescence and single-cell RNA sequencing. The randomized phase 2 trial is open to enrollment and one patient has been randomized as of 1/29/2024. Clinical trial information: NCT04543071 .

TPS4200 Background: Metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) is a uniformly fatal disease for which treatments result in limited benefit. Failure of immune checkpoint blockade is attributed to multiple immunosuppressive pathways within the tumor microenvironment. The C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4)/C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) axis results in exclusion of anti-tumor immune cells. Preclinical studies demonstrated that simultaneous CXCR4 inhibition (CXCR4i) and anti-programmed cell death 1 (aPD1) resulted in tumor stabilization. We extended these findings by testing multiple combinations of CXCR4i, aPD1, and gemcitabine in the KPC mouse model of PDAC. Mice treated with gemcitabine, CXCR4i, and aPD1 (triple therapy) experienced a survival benefit compared to mice treated with either gemcitabine alone, or with CXCR4i/aPD1. Tumors from mice treated with triple therapy demonstrated increased apoptosis and a favorable tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Motixafortide with pembrolizumab, fluorouracil, and nanoliposomal irinotecan has shown encouraging results in the second-line setting in mPDAC with a confirmed ORR of 13.2% and progression free survival (PFS) of 3.8 months (m). The goal of this first-in-man trial is to test preliminary safety and efficacy of Motixafortide (CXCR4i), Cemiplimab (aPD1), Gemcitabine, and Nab-paclitaxel (MCGN) in treatment naïve mPDAC. Methods: This is an open label, multicenter, investigator-initiated simon-2-stage phase 2 clinical trial in mPDAC testing MCGN. The study includes a six-patient safety run-in cohort and an additional 4 patients comprising a pilot efficacy signal seeking study (N=10). If ≥3 of the 10 patients within the pilot stage were to experience a partial response (PR) by RECIST criteria within 16 weeks, the combination would be considered promising and an expansion cohort of an additional 30 patients was planned. On 09/21/22, we amended the study to forego the planned open-label expansion cohort (N=30) and transition directly to a randomized phase 2 trial testing MCGN compared toGemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel (GN) alone (N=102), after completion of the pilot phase of the study. The primary endpoint is PFS. The study has 80% power to detect an improvement in PFS from 6 to 9.2 m (HR 0.65) with a one-sided alpha of 0.20. One interim analysis for futility is planned when 50% of the PFS events are observed. Secondary objectives include ORR, disease control rate, duration of clinical benefit and OS. Required (pilot portion) and optional (randomized portion) paired tumor biopsies will undergo exploratory analysis including interrogation of the TIME. This trial was started in September 2020 and has enrolled 10 patients to the pilot stage as of 02/2023. Clinical trial information: NCT04543071 .

PURPOSE This randomized, open-label trial compared the efficacy and safety of adjuvant nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine with those of gemcitabine for resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01964430 ). METHODS We assigned 866 treatment-naive patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m 2 ) + gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m 2 ) or gemcitabine alone to one 30-40 infusion on days 1, 8, and 15 of six 28-day cycles. The primary end point was independently assessed disease-free survival (DFS). Additional end points included investigator-assessed DFS, overall survival (OS), and safety. RESULTS Two hundred eighty-seven of 432 patients and 310 of 434 patients completed nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine and gemcitabine treatment, respectively. At primary data cutoff (December 31, 2018; median follow-up, 38.5 [interquartile range [IQR], 33.8-43 months), the median independently assessed DFS was 19.4 ( nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine) versus 18.8 months (gemcitabine; hazard ratio [HR], 0.88; 95% CI, 0.729 to 1.063; P = .18). The median investigator-assessed DFS was 16.6 (IQR, 8.4-47.0) and 13.7 (IQR, 8.3-44.1) months, respectively (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.694 to 0.965; P = .02). The median OS (427 events; 68% mature) was 40.5 (IQR, 20.7 to not reached) and 36.2 (IQR, 17.7-53.3) months, respectively (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.680 to 0.996; P = .045). At a 16-month follow-up (cutoff, April 3, 2020; median follow-up, 51.4 months [IQR, 47.0-57.0]), the median OS (511 events; 81% mature) was 41.8 ( nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine) versus 37.7 months (gemcitabine; HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.687 to 0.973; P = .0232). At the 5-year follow-up (cutoff, April 9, 2021; median follow-up, 63.2 months [IQR, 60.1-68.7]), the median OS (555 events; 88% mature) was 41.8 versus 37.7 months, respectively (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.678 to 0.947; P = .0091). Eighty-six percent ( nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine) and 68% (gemcitabine) of patients experienced grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events. Two patients per study arm died of treatment-emergent adverse events. CONCLUSION The primary end point (independently assessed DFS) was not met despite favorable OS seen with nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine.
