A Phase I Trial With Cohort Expansion of Enzalutamide in Combination With Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel for the Treatment of Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

The main purpose of this study is to find out the dose of enzalutamide that can be safely
given with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
Researchers also want to find out the side effects of these drugs when given together. This
study will help in finding out the effect on tumor of the combination of enzalutamide,
gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. In the first part of the study, different doses of
enzalutamide will be tested. In the second part of the study, all patients will be started at
the same dose of enzalutamide.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed pancreatic
adenocarcinoma that is metastatic or unresectable. In the dose expansion phase, the
tumor must express Androgen Receptor (AR) by immunohistochemistry. If ≥1% of the tumor
cells express AR, it will be considered positive for this trial.

- Must have measurable disease per Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria
version 1.1

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status <2 (Karnofsky >60%)

- Life expectancy of greater than 3 months

- Must have normal organ and marrow function

- Prior treatment with gemcitabine alone or 5-Fluorouracil with radiation as an adjuvant
therapy will be allowed; Should not have received gemcitabine within 6 months of
starting the study treatment; 5-Fluorouracil or radiation treatment should be received
more than 4 weeks prior to receiving the study drug.

- Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception
prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Men treated or
enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the
study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of the
study treatment.

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior treatment with any cytotoxic chemotherapy except as an adjuvant therapy.
Participant should not have received gemcitabine within 6 months of starting the study
treatment. 5-Fluorouracil or radiation treatment should be received more than 4 weeks
prior to receiving the study drug.

- May not be receiving any other investigational agents within 4 weeks of starting the
study treatment and during the study period.

- Untreated brain or leptomeningeal metastases, including patients who continue to
require glucocorticoids for brain or leptomeningeal metastases.

- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel or enzalutamide.

- Have undergone major surgery within 4 weeks prior to starting the study treatment.

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements; history of myocardial infarction within 6 months of starting study
treatment.

- Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or active hepatitis B or
hepatitis C

- Any history of seizure. History of loss of consciousness or transient ischemic attack
within 12 months of starting the study drug.

- Women who are pregnant or breast feeding, or women/men able to conceive and unwilling
to practice an effective method of birth control

- Chronic treatment with immunosuppressant drugs

- Other malignancy requiring active treatment

- Any significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness,
that would prevent participating in the study, including the inability to swallow
capsules
