FG-3019, A Human Monoclonal Antibody to Connective Tissue Growth Factor, Combined with Chemotherapy in Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is overexpressed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and facilitates local desmoplasia, tumor progression and metastasis in animal models.

This study evaluated safety and initial efficacy of the anti-CTGF antibody FG-3019 in combination with gemcitabine and erlotinib in patients with previously untreated Stage III or Stage IV PDAC.

Eight escalating FG-3019 doses/regimens ranging from 3 to 45 mg/kg Q2W and 17.5 and 22.5 mg/kg QW were evaluated. Toxicity, tumor response by CA19.9 and CT scan RECIST criteria, progression-free and overall survival were assessed.
