A Phase I Study of Onivyde and 5-FU in Combination With Xilonix for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer With Cachexia

This study is being conducted to examine the safety of the investigational drug, Xilonix(™),
in addition to standard doses of Onivyde® (nanoliposomal irinotecan) and 5- fluorouracil
(5FU)/folinic acid (leucovorin) for pancreatic cancer patients with cachexia. Cachexia is a
syndrome that includes involuntary weight loss and physical deterioration that can contribute
to poor outcomes of cancer treatment. In other studies, Xilonix has increased lean body mass
in advanced cancer patients. This increase could lead to improved weight maintenance and
quality of life.

This study will prospectively evaluate advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients. The
intervention will be interleukin-1-alpha antagonist (Xilonix) in addition to standard
chemotherapy. The first aim is to assess the safety and identify the maximum tolerated dose
of Onivyde with 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid in combination with the study agent, Xilonix. The
study will also create a repository of serum, tissue, and fecal specimens to investigate
novel biomarkers related to cachexia with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and interleukin-1-alpha
blockade. Lastly, the study will assess for a correlation between cachexia, activity, and
PROs on domains of quality of life.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Advanced or locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients (can include new or recurrent
diagnosis) referred to SOCCI-CSMC for chemotherapy that has progressed through or
intolerant to gemcitabine based chemotherapy

- Cachexia defined as greater than 5% unexplained weight loss within any 6 month period
prior to screening visit OR as documented by the medical physician based on standard
diagnosis of cachexia

- Age ≥ 18 years

- ECOG performance status 0-2 or Karnofsky PS >60%

- Patients must have normal organ and marrow function

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

- Negative pregnancy test for WOCBP

- WOCBP and men must agree to use of adequate contraception

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who are currently receiving any other investigational agents

- Patients who have received more than one chemotherapeutic regimen in metastatic
setting

- Patients with CNS metastases

- 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

- Patients with unresolved grade 3/4 adverse effects of prior therapy at time of
enrollment

- Subjects with history of hypersensitivity to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to Xilonix or Onivyde

- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding

- Dementia or altered mental status that would prohibit the understanding or rendering
of informed consent

- Patients with known Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency (DPD deficiency)

- Patients known to be UGT1A1*28 allele homozygous

- Patients who have had a live vaccine within 3 months of enrollment
