A Phase Ib Study of Single-Agent Idelalisib Followed by Idelalisib in Combination with Chemotherapy in Patients with Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Lessons learned

Although this study of idelalisib in patients with PDAC was limited in size and duration because of early termination, idelalisib exposure resulted in an overall safety profile consistent with studies in hematological malignancies, except that the incidences of diarrhea and colitis were reduced in patients with PDAC. Preclinical studies of the PI3K pathway in PDAC and positive clinical results of PI3K inhibition in other cancers support the continued development of PI3K inhibitors in PDAC.

Background

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is among the most lethal solid tumors and is often refractory to treatment. Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) δ inhibition influences regulatory immune cell function and improves survival in preclinical PDAC models. Here
