Clinical summary

Summary

Eligible participants with metastatic, pancreatic adenocarcinoma will receive the Test Product (TP) and Reference Product (RP) Onivyde in line with its approved indication. The order in which participants will receive them depends on the group which they are randomly assigned, this will be referred to as the crossover phase. One group will receive the RP followed by the TP, while the other group will receive the TP followed by the RP. Participants will also receive 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV).

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤1
  • Adequate haematological parameters
  • Adequate hepatic function
  • Adequate renal function
  • Adequate coagulation
  • No clinically significant abnormalities in urinalysis results
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) without any clinically significant findings

  • Clinically significant gastrointestinal disorder including hepatic disorders, bleeding, inflammation, occlusion, diarrhoea >Grade 1, malabsorption syndrome, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease or partial bowel obstruction.
  • Concurrent illnesses that would be a relative contraindication to trial participation such as active cardiac or liver disease
  • Active infection or an unexplained fever >38.5°C on the first scheduled day of dosing
  • Neuroendocrine tumour (carcinoid, islet cell) or acinar pancreatic carcinoma
  • History of interstitial lung disease, history of slowly progressive dyspnoea and unproductive cough, sarcoidosis, silicosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypersensitivity pneumonitis or multiple allergies.
  • Exposure to a non-liposomal irinotecan or SN-38 based regimen within 4 weeks prior to randomisation, or exposure to Onivyde or other irinotecan based liposomal products within 6 weeks prior to randomisation
  • Major surgery, other than diagnostic surgery, within 4 weeks prior to randomisation
  • Participants who have received a live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to randomisation.
  • Use of strong CYP3A inhibitors or inducers, or strong inhibitors of UGT1A1.
  • Investigational therapy administered within 4 weeks, or within a time interval less than at least 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer, prior to study intervention on Cycle 1 Day 1
  • Known low or absent dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) activity.
  • Homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele.
  • Known hypersensitivity to any of the components of Onivyde injection, other liposomal products, or any components of 5-FU, or LV
  • Presence of any contraindications outlined in the Contraindications or Warnings and Precautions sections of the IB for Onivyde, or in the prescribing information for 5-FU or LV.
  • Participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, have symptoms or signs suggestive of clinically unacceptable deterioration of the primary disease at the time of screening
  • Any other medical or social condition deemed by the investigator to be likely to interfere with a participant's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate and participate in the study, or interfere with the interpretation of the results

Inclusion

  • Your cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or has grown into nearby parts of the body (locally advanced).
  • You have had treatment but your cancer has gotten worse or has not responded to the treatment you have been given.

Exclusion
