Open-label, Multicenter, Phase 1b/2 Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CD40 Agonistic Monoclonal Antibody (APX005M) Administered Together With Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel With or Without PD-1 Blocking Antibody (Nivolumab) in Patients With Previously Untreated Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
Principal Investigator: Robert H. Vonderheide, MD, DPhil, University of PennsylvaniaThe main purposes of this study are to learn how effective the study drug combinations are in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The drug combinations are APX005M+Nivolumab+Gemcitabine+nab-Paclitaxel, or APX005M+Gemcitabine+nab-Paclitaxel.
