Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Safety and tolerability of Azacitidine and/or Romidepsin in combination with nab-Paclitaxel/Gemcitabine
at Days -7, -4, 1, 8, 15, 22 at cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)

Dose limiting toxicities occurring during treatment cycle 1 of a respective dose level and regarded to be related to the studied drug combination. Common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) 5.0 will be used to assess toxicities.

Immune targeting with Durvalumab in combination with low-dose Lenalidomide
up to 13 cycles (each cycle is 28 days)

The efficacy and safety of this experimental (immune) consolidation therapy during this clinical trial will be monitored by imaging changes every 8 weeks.

Recommended dose for expansion (RDE)
at the end of cycle 3 (each cycle is 28 days)

Identification of the recommended dose for expansion of Azacitidine and/or Romidepsin in combination with nab-Paclitaxel/Gemcitabine.

Secondary Endpoints
Overall response rate (ORR)
up to 16 months
Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) Response
at Day 1 of each treatment cycle (each cycle is 28 days), up to 16 month
Disease-control rate (DCR)
at the end of cycle 3 and 6 (each cycle is 28 days)

Treatment Arms
ArmTypeDescription
Romidepsin/nab-Paclitaxel/Gemcitabine (Arm A)EXPERIMENTALPart 1a: Romidepsin (2 mg/m² or 3.3 mg/m² or 7 mg/m²) will be administered in combination with nab-Paclitaxel (125 mg/m²)/Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m²) on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15 (every 28 days) of each treatment cycle. Study treatment is given until intolerable toxicity or will escalate until the recommended dose for expansion for a maximum of 3 cycles.
Azacitidine/nab-Paclitaxel/Gemcitabine (Arm B)EXPERIMENTALPart 1a: Azacitidine (20 mg/m² or 30 mg/m² or 40 mg/m²) will be administered on Days -7 to Day -3 of each treatment cycle. Additionally nab-Paclitaxel (125 mg/m²)/Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m²) will be given on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15 (every 28 days) of each treatment cycle. Study treatment is given until intolerable toxicity or will escalate until the recommended dose for expansion for a maximum of 3 cycles.
Romidepin/Azacitidine/nab-Paclitaxel/Gemcitabine (Arm C)EXPERIMENTALPart 1a: The intervention to be administered depends on the determined dose in Arm A and Arm B. Additionally nab-Paclitaxel (125 mg/m²)/Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m²) will be given on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15 (every 28 days) of each treatment cycle. Study treatment is given until intolerable toxicity or will escalate until the recommended dose for expansion for a maximum of 3 cycles.
nab-Paclitaxel/Gemcitabine (Standard Arm)ACTIVE_COMPARATORnab-Paclitaxel (125 mg/m²)/Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m²) will be administered on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15 (every 28 days) of each treatment cycle.
Arm C or B or AEXPERIMENTALIn Part 1b (expansion part) of the study, one of the treatment arms (Arm C over Arm B over Arm A) will be continued. Treatment will only be performed with the study drug that were tolerable in Part 1a (dose escalation).
Durvalumab/LenalidomideEXPERIMENTALPart 2: All patients from Part 1 who have not progressed after three cycles receive standard fixed dose Durvalumab (1500 mg) on Day 1 of each 28-day treatment cycle by IV infusion in combination with orally administered low-dose Lenalidomide (10 mg) on Days 1 to 21 until documented disease progression. Study treatment is given for a maximum of 13 cycles.
