A Phase 2 Study of BT5528 in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

NCT ID: NCT07450859Sponsor: BicycleTx LimitedLast updated: 2026-06-12

Summary

This is a Phase 2 study for nuzefatide pevedotin (BT5528) in adults with a specific type of pancreatic cancer called metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that has spread and worsened after one previous treatment. The drug, nuzefatide pevedotin (nuzefatide), is designed to find a specific protein called EphA2. The main aims of the study are to see how well the drug works against the tumor (efficacy), what side effects it may have (safety), and how the body processes it (pharmacokinetics). All participants in this study will receive nuzefatide, and both they and their doctors will know what is being administered (single-arm, open-label). The trial will take place at several different medical centers.

Detailed description

This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of nuzefatide in adult participants with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who have progressed on or after one prior line of systemic therapy. Nuzefatide is a novel Bicycle® drug conjugate (BDC®) that targets EphA2, a protein often found on cancer cells, and delivers a potent anti-cancer agent (MMAE).

Eligibility criteria

Sex: AllAge: 18 Years and olderHealthy volunteers: No
Inclusion Criteria * At least 18 years of age at the time of signature of the informed consent form * Measurable disease as defined by RECIST v1.1 * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1 * Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks * Histologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) * Participants must have failed only 1 prior line of therapy with evidence of radiographic progression.
