About this study

Official title: A Phase 3 Study of Relacorilant in Combination With Nab-Paclitaxel in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (RELIANT)

This is a Phase 3, open-label study to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR), in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) treated with relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel, according to blinded independent central review.

Read the detailed description

Relacorilant is a small-molecule antagonist of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The goals of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Eligible patients are those with mPDAC who have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in any setting, including at least 1 prior gemcitabine-based therapy and at least 1 prior fluoropyrimidine-based therapy.

Patients will receive treatment until progressive disease (PD) (per RECIST v1.1) as determined by the Investigator, experiencing unmanageable toxicity, or until other treatment discontinuation criteria are met. All patients will be followed for documentation of disease progression and survival information (i.e., date and cause of death) and subsequent treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)

    Percentage of patients with measurable disease at baseline who achieved confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR). Tumor assessment consisted of computerized tomography (CT) scan or, with Sponsor approval, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions; any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease in the sum of the diameters (SOD) of target lesions.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 32 weeks

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Investigator Assessment

    Percentage of patients with measurable disease at baseline who achieved confirmed CR or PR per RECIST v1.1, as assessed by the Investigator. Tumor assessment consisted of CT scan or, with Sponsor approval, MRI. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions; any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 48 weeks

  2. Best Overall Response (BOR)

    To evaluate the best overall response of CR, PR, stable disease (SD), or PD per RECIST v1.1. as assessed by BICR. Tumor assessment consisted of CT scan or, with Sponsor approval, MRI. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions; any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the SOD of target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 32 weeks

  3. Duration of Response (DOR)

    To evaluate the duration of response as the time of objective response (CR or PR) to the time of disease progression or death, per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BICR and the Investigator. Tumor assessment consisted of CT scan or, with Sponsor approval, MRI. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions; any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions. PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the SOD of target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: Time of response up to 32 weeks

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    To evaluate patients disease control rate of CR, PR, or SD at 18 weeks, per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the Investigator. Tumor assessment consisted of CT scan or, with Sponsor approval, MRI. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions; any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD.

    Measured: Enrollment through 18 weeks

  5. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    To evaluate PFS as median time to disease progression per RECIST v1.1, or death, as assessed by BICR. Tumor assessment consisted of CT scan or, with Sponsor approval, MRI. Disease progression was defined as ≥20% increase in the SOD of target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 31 weeks.

  6. Overall Survival (OS)

    To evaluate OS as median time to death by any cause.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 70 weeks

  7. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    To evaluate PFS as the percentage of patients who are progression-free at 3, 6, and 12 months per RECIST v1.1, as assessed by BICR. Tumor assessment consisted of CT scan or, with Sponsor approval, MRI. Disease progression was defined as ≥20% increase in the SOD of target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: Enrollment through 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months

  8. Overall Survival (OS)

    To evaluate OS as the percentage of patients surviving at 3, 6, and 12, months.

    Measured: Enrollment through 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months

  9. Cancer Antigen (CA)19-9

    To assess cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) response at 8 and 16 weeks in patients who have elevated CA19-9 at baseline. Response was defined as ≥50% reduction in CA19-9.

    Measured: Enrollment through 8 weeks and 16 weeks

  10. Tumor Response Per European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Criteria

    To assess tumor response based on changes in fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan at 6 weeks per the EORTC criteria, as assessed by BICR.

    Measured: Enrollment through 6 weeks

  11. Time to Progression (TTP)

    To evaluate TTP as median time to disease progression per RECIST v1.1, as assessed by the Investigator. Tumor assessment consisted of CT scan or, with Sponsor approval, MRI. Disease progression was defined as ≥20% increase in the SOD of target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 32 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Relacorilant, 100 mg and 25 mg and Nab-paclitaxel in people with Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by Corcept Therapeutics at 18 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Nov 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) (time frame: Baseline and up to 32 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Nov 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
