Funder Decision

This is a multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, phase Ib/II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of sotorasib in combination with chemotherapy for patients with advanced KRAS p.G12C mutant pancreatic cancer with progression of disease after first line treatment. There will be a safety lead in to determine the safety and tolerability of the sotorasib in combination with standard chemotherapy. A Simon two-stage design will be employed to evaluate the efficacy of sotorasib in combination with standard of care second line chemotherapy.

• Life expectancy > 3 months in the opinion of the investigator.

• Therapeutic or palliative radiation >/= 2 weeks from registration is allowed provided subject has recovered from all reversible acute toxic effects to Grade </= 1 or baseline.

• Ability to take oral medications.

• Females of childbearing potential with a male partner able to father a child must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to registration. See protocol for definition of childbearing potential.

• Females of childbearing potential with a male partner able to father a child and male participants able to father a child who have a female partner of childbearing potential must be willing to abstain from heterosexual intercourse or to use effective method(s) of contraception as outlined in protocol.

• As determined by the enrolling physician or protocol designee, ability of the subject to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects meeting any of the criteria below may not participate in the study:

• Receipt of two or more lines of chemotherapy. NOTE: Adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy would be counted as one line of therapy if recurrence or development of metastatic disease occurred within 6 months of last dose of adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy.

• Previous treatment with a KRASG12C inhibitor.

• Patient unable to receive nal-IRI/5FU/LV or GEM/nab-paclitaxel as second line chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer.

• Grade 2 or higher neuropathy preventing treatment with abraxane containing regimen.

• History of pneumonitis and/or interstitial lung disease (ILD).

• Active brain metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis from non-brain tumors. NOTE: Subjects who have had brain metastases resected or have received radiation therapy ending at least 4 weeks prior to study Day 1 are eligible if they meet all of the following criteria: a) residual neurological symptoms grade ≤ 2; b) on stable doses of dexamethasone, if applicable; and c) follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed within 28 days shows no new lesions appearing.

• Active infection requiring antibiotics within 1 week of enrollment.

• Cardiac dysfunction:

  • Myocardial Infarction within 6 months of enrollment
  • NYHA > class II CHF
  • unstable angina
  • arrhythmia requiring medication
  • QTc > 470msec.

• Has a known history of Hepatitis B or C. NOTE: Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody [anti-HBc] and absence of HBsAg) are eligible. Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA. NOTE: no testing for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C is required unless mandated by local health authority.

• Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. NOTE: Subjects with HIV/AIDS with adequate antiviral therapy to control viral load would be allowed if they are stable and have been on treatment for ≥ 4 weeks prior to first dose of study drug(s). Subjects with viral hepatitis with controlled viral load would be allowed while on suppressive antiviral therapy. Testing not required.no testing for HIV is required unless mandated by local health authority.

• Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen, per treating physician discretion, are not eligible for this trial.

• History or presence of hematological malignancies unless curatively treated with no evidence of disease ≥ 2 years.

• Surgery within 28 days of enrollment.

• Known dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency.
