| Summary: | Background: There are a growing number of targeted agents that have the potential to greatly improve the clinical outcomes of patients with PDAC beyond current standard of care chemotherapy. However, there is a lack in our understanding of which patients and intrinsic PDAC tumor types will best respond to a given targeted agent(s). In order to optimizing their clinical utility, it is crucial that we a deep understanding of the biological impact that these targeted agents (alone or combination) have within the human system. As such, we designed and implemented the WOO trial to provide a highly adaptable discovery platform for the preliminary assessment of biological activity of one or more targeted agents in patients with PDAC. Utilizing paired, pre- and on-treatment biopsies, along with a robust multiomics pipeline, the WOO trial enables independent assessment of the biological impact of targeted agent(s) on key signaling pathways that can be used to explore novel therapeutic strategies. Methods: WOO is a multi-arm early phase I trial platform designed to assess the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of one or more study agent(s) alone or in combination in patients with PDAC. A Master Protocol is used to describe overarching design and logistics, and sub-protocols separately describe each study arm comprising the different investigational agent(s). Each participants undergoes a baseline tumor biopsy, then receives their assigned study agent(s) for a specified timeframe (not exceeding 30 days), before undergoing a repeated tumor biopsy, after which they continue to receive therapy per standard of care or clinical trials. Spatially-resolved, single cell multiplex assays are used to compare the effects of the study agent(s) on tumor cell state and heterogeneity between the paired samples. The primary study objective is to independently assess the PD feasibility of detecting a measurable change in tumor biology at post-treatment from baseline for participants within a study arm. The WOO trial uses a 2-stage Bayesian efficacy monitoring approach with a futility-stopping rule for each study arm. In stage 1 of each study arm, if 6 or more of the first 10 participants have a detectable change in tumor biology measurements (i.e., pre vs. post-treatment), then the study arm may continue to enroll an additional 10 participants. To date, 4 study arms are being evaluated: 1) poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi), olaparib (300 mg PO BID for 10 days), 2) MEK inhibitor (MEKi), cobimetinib (60 mg PO QD for 10 days), 3) ERK inhibitor, LY3214996 (400 mg PO QD for 10 days), and 4) PLK1 inhibitor, onvansertib (12 mg/m2 PO QD for 10 days). To date, a total of 34 participants have been enrolled and treated: n = 14 cobimetinib, n= 15 olaparib, n=2 onvansertib. Future arms to be added. Trial ID: NCT04005690.
