About this study

Official title: MAZEPPA: Phase II PRODIGE-GERCOR Study to Evaluate MAintenance Therapy With Olaparib or Selumetinib Plus Durvalumab According to BRCAness and KRAS Somatic Status Personalized in Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Patients

MAZEPPA is open-label, phase II study to assess the efficacy of a genomic-driven maintenance therapy in terms of PFS in Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients with disease controlled after 4 months of mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy as following:

Patients with a BRCAness somatic profile: olaparib Arm A. Patients with no BRCAness profile and with KRAS mutation randomization between durvalumab plus selumetinib Arm B, versus FOLFIRI Arm C.

Read the detailed description

Searching for efficient maintenance therapies in metastatic PDAC patients whose disease has been controlled using an induction chemotherapy is crucial for two main reasons:

  1. Patients may stop IV toxic chemotherapy while their tumor remains under control. Although up to 70% of PDAC patients achieve tumor control when treated during induction with mFOLFIRINOX, toxicity of this regimen, particularly neuropathy and fatigue, remains a key concern.
  2. Tumor control may be extended, which might improve quality of life (QoL) and survival.

Patients are included in MAZEPPA study based on the genetic profile of their tumor.

  • If a BRCA gene mutation is present in the tumor, treatment with the drug olaparib will be proposed (arm A), regardless of the status of the other genes analyzed.
  • In the absence of a mutation in the BRCA gene and in the presence of a mutation in the KRAS gene, a treatment combining immunotherapy and targeted therapy (durvalumab and selumetinib - Arm B) or chemotherapy by FOLFIRI (arm C) will be proposed.

Receives: Drug: ARM C FOLFIRI

What is being measured

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

  1. ARM A - Progression free survival (PFS)

    PFS rate at 4 months is defined by the number of patients alive at 4 months from inclusion without PD divided by the total number of patients evaluable at 4 months (dead during 4 months or alive at 4 months with a progressive status available).

    Measured: at 4 months

  2. ARM B/ C - PFS

    PFS is defined as time from randomization into arm B/C to the date of first documented PD RECIST 1.1 and/or iRECIST for arm B and PD RECIST1.1 for arm C or death.

    Measured: Assessed up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Disease control rate (DCR)

    DCR is the percentage of patients who achieve CR, PR, or SD to study treatment (according to RECIST 1.1).

    Measured: Measured at 16 weeks of maintenance therapy.

  2. Overall response rate (ORR)

    ORR is the number of patients with a best overall response of CR or PR divided by the number of all treated (at least 1 dose of study treatment) patients.

    Measured: Assessed up to 36 months

  3. Overall survival (OS)

    OS is the time between the date of inclusion into Arm A or Arms B/C and death

    Measured: Assessed up to 36 months

  4. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events

    All grade and severe toxicities, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0

    Measured: Assessed up to 36 months

  5. Time to HRQoL score definitive deterioration (TUDD)

    TUDD is defined as the time interval between inclusion into Arm A and randomization into Arms B/C and the first occurrence of a decrease in QLQ-C30 score for dimension ⩾5 points compared to baseline HRQoL score without any further improvement in QoL score ⩾5 points or any further available QoL data.

    Measured: At baseline, at every 2 months during treatment, and at the end of treatment visit. Assessed up to 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Arm A - Olaparib, ARM B - durvalumab plus selumetinib and ARM C FOLFIRI in people with Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, run by GERCOR - Multidisciplinary Oncology Cooperative Group at 29 sites in France.

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 27 inclusion and 37 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in France. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

ARM A - Progression free survival (PFS) (time frame: at 4 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04348045.

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 25 Jul 2025.
