About this trial

The purpose of this first-in-human study is to identify a recommend dose(s) for subsequent larger studies (recommended dose(s) for expansion, RDE), examining increasing doses of M0324, primarily looking at safety, but also preliminary signs of efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD). Three different treatments with M0324 will be studied, M0324 as a monotherapy(Part 1), M0324 in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 2), and in combination with mFOLFIRINOX (a chemotherapy treatment)(Part 3).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participants with previously untreated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, who are judged by Investigator as eligible for treatment with mFOLFIRINOX. Participants with prior Whipple surgery and/or adjuvant chemotherapy are not permitted

Other protocol defined inclusion criteria could apply

Disqualifiers

Has a history of chronic diarrhea greater than or equal to (>=) Grade 2, inflammatory disease of the colon or rectum, or unresolved partial or complete intestinal obstruction

Participant has a history of malignancy within 3 years before the date of enrollment

Uncontrolled or poorly controlled arterial hypertension, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure [New York Heart Association (NYHA) >= II] or a coronary revascularization procedure within 180 days of study entry

Life expectancy of less than 3 months

Trial design

Design model

Sequential

Treatments tested in this trial

  • M0324

    Biological/Vaccine

    M0324 will be tested at increasing doses as monotherapy to determine dose-toxicity relationship and MTD (if reached) in order to support selection of recommended dose(s) for expansion (RDE).

  • M0324

    Biological/Vaccine

    M0324 will be further investigated in part 2 and part 3 of the study as combination regimen, in order to determine dose-toxicity relationship in combination and MTD (if reached) in order to support selection of RDE(s) in combination.

  • Pembrolizumab

    Biological/Vaccine

    Pembrolizumab will be administered intravenously as per standard of care.

  • mFOLFIRINOX

    Drug

    mFOLFIRINOX will be administered intravenously as per standard of care.
