About this trial
Phase II, open label, randomized multicenter study to evaluate efficacy and safety of study treatment in previously untreated patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Patients will receive study treatment for a maximum of 24 months or until progression disease or until unacceptable toxicity. In the experimental arm, patients who discontinue chemotherapy for reasons other than disease progression may continue receiving the remaining study drugs (NLM-001, botensilimab and balstilimab) up to a maximum of 24 months, according to schedule.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To evaluate the response rate in each of the study arms, assessed according to iRECIST criteria, including the confirmation of progression to distinguish true progression from potential pseudoprogression.
Objective Response Rate (ORR): Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR), according to iRECIST 1.1 criteria, according to investigator criteria. Suspected progression (including possible pseudoprogression due to immune-related effects or new lesions) must be confirmed with repeat imaging performed 4-8 weeks after the initial assessment before considering the patient as having true disease progression.
Secondary outcomes
To evaluate safety profile and tolerability of study treatment according to NCI-CTCAE v 5.0 criteria.
Safety profile will be assessed according to NCI-CTCAE v 5.0 criteria. The number of patients experiencing each AE will be summarized by CTCAE grade.
To evaluate treatment efficacy according to progression free survival (PFS)
Progression Free Survival (PFS): PFS is defined as the time in months from the patient's randomization until patient progression according to iRECIST 1.1 criteria or death.
To evaluate treatment efficacy according to 6 months PFS
Progression Free Survival (PFS): PFS is defined as the time in months from the patient's randomization until patient progression according to iRECIST 1.1 criteria or death.
To evaluate treatment efficacy according todisease control rate (DCR)
Disease Control Rate (DCR): Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) + Stable Disease (SD) evaluated by iRECIST 1.1 criteria according to investigator criteria.
