GLP-1 RA Plus SOC Treatment in First-line, Metastatic Pancreatic, Colorectal, or Hepatocellular Cancer
Conditions: Pancreatic Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 99 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: EARLY_PHASE1
Enrollment: 30
Sponsor: University of Arizona
Location: University of Arizona Cancer Center Tucson Arizona
Summary
There is a growing number of patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancers who are also simultaneously being treated with GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (RA)s. To date, no clinical trial data exists to establish safety and/or feasibility with use of GLP-1 RAs during chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and correlative analyses of combining GLP-1 RAs with standard chemotherapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic, colorectal, or hepatocellular cancers in the first-line setting.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Histological or cytological diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma or colorectal adenocarcinoma. Previous tumor tissue testing is acceptable. Please refer to the "additional HCC cohort criteria" below.
* The subject has disease that is not amenable to curative-intent management (e.g., oligometastatic disease)
* Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 as determined by the investigator
* Patients must be appropriate candidates for first-line, SOC treatment.
* SOC treatment as defined by NCCN® guidelines or institutional standard is allowable, however, options restricted to:
* Colorectal: FOLFOX or FOLIFIRI +/- bevacizumab
* Pancreatic: mFOLFIRINOX
* HCC: Tremelimumab/Durvalumab
* Patients are eligible who received prior perioperative chemotherapy for curative intent treatment and recurred ≥ 6 months since last dose of chemotherapy.
* ≥ 18 years old on day of consent
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
* Adequate archival frozen or fixed tissue available from primary or metastatic site for genotypic analysis (at least 15 unstained slides and/or tumor block)

* The ANC ≥ 1500/mm3 without colony stimulating factor support;
* Platelets ≥ 75,000/mm3;

* Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dl;
* ALT and AST ≤ 3.0 ´ ULN;
* Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 ´ ULN or creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 40 mL/min. For creatinine clearance estimation, the Cockcroft and Gault equation should be used:
* Male: CrCl (mL/min) = (140 - age) × wt (kg) / (serum creatinine × 72);
* Female: Multiply above result by 0.85;
* The subject is capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and has signed the informed consent document
* Sexually active subjects (men and women) must agree to use medically accepted barrier methods of contraception (eg, male or female condom) during the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study drug(s), even if oral contraceptives are also used. All subjects of reproductive potential must agree to use both a barrier method and a second method of birth control or practice abstinence during the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study drug(s);
Additional Inclusion Criteria for HCC Cohort ONLY:
* Histologically or radiologically confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma (per AASLD/EASL criteria)
* Unresectable or advanced HCC not amenable to curative surgery or locoregional therapy.
* Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B or C.
* Child-Pugh Score Class A; or Child-Pugh Class B7 or B8 at discretion of treating physician
* Patients with HBV infection, characterized by positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or hepatitis B core antibodies (anti-HBcAb) with detectable HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (≥10 IU/mL or above the limit of detection per local or central lab standard), must be treated with antiviral therapy, as per institutional practice to ensure adequate viral suppression (HBV DNA \ 100 mm Hg diastolic despite optimal antihypertensive treatment within 7 days of the first dose of study treatment;
* thromboembolic event requiring therapeutic anticoagulation (Note: subjects with a venous filter (eg, vena cava filter) within 6 months before the first dose of study treatment.
* Any of the following within 6 months before the first dose of study treatment:
* unstable angina pectoris;
* clinically-significant cardiac arrhythmias;
* stroke (including transient ischemic attack (TIA), or other ischemic event);
* myocardial infarction;
* GI disorders particularly those associated with a high risk of perforation or fistula formation including:
* Unresolved abdominal fistula, GI perforation, bowel obstruction, intra-abdominal abscess.
* Uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain.
* Other clinically significant disorders that would preclude safe study participation
* Major surgery within 8 weeks before the first dose of study treatment. Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior surgery are not eligible.
* Females who are known or suspected to be pregnant or lactating. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within screening.
* Female patients planning on becoming pregnant while on study.
* Male subjects with a pregnant partner who are unwilling to practice abstinence or use a condom during treatment.
* Male subjects unwilling to abstain from donating sperm during treatment.
* Inability to comply with self-administration of GLP-1 RA subcutaneous injections.
* Subject has known sensitivity to any of the products or components to be administered during dosing.
* Concurrent use of other semaglutide containing products or any other GLP-1 receptor agonist.

* Subject likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures and/or to comply with all required study procedures to the best of the subject and investigator's knowledge.
* History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition or disease that in the opinion of the investigator, if consulted, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion.
