A Multicenter, Open-label, ExploRatory Platform Trial to EValuate ImmunOtherapy Combinations with Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Patients with PreviousLy UnTreated MetastatIc Pancreatic AdenOcarciNoma (REVOLUTION) (WIRB)Purpose
This study is assessing the safety and preliminary effectiveness of different combinations of immunotherapy and chemotherapy drugs in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer that has not yet been treated. Participants in this study will receive one of these combinations:
- The chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel with the immunotherapy drugs ipilimumab and nivolumab, OR
- The chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel with the immunotherapy drug ipilimumab and the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine.
Ipilimumab and nivolumab take the brakes off the immune response, enabling the immune system to find and kill cancer cells. Hydroxychloroquine manipulates an immune response in the cells of the body and may slow cancer growth. It is taken orally (by mouth) and the other medications in this study are given intravenously (by vein).
