Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Overall Survival
Randomization to date of death from any cause (Up To 30 Months)

Overall survival is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of death (due to any cause). For participants whose last known status is alive at the data cutoff date for the analysis, time will be censored as the last contact date prior to the data cutoff date.

Number of Participants With TEAEs and SAEs Observed During the Study of Pegilodecakin
From first dose of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug (Up to 63 Months)

The number of participants who experienced treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) during the study.

Frequently asked questions about Pegilodecakin

What is Pegilodecakin?

Pegilodecakin is an investigational oncology drug developed by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of melanoma and pancreatic cancer. It is a small molecule that acts as an agonist at the IL10RA and IL10RB receptors. It has been studied in clinical trials but is not described as approved.

What does Pegilodecakin target?

Pegilodecakin targets IL10RA and IL10RB, the alpha and beta subunits of the interleukin-10 receptor. It acts as an agonist at these receptors, meaning it activates IL10 receptor signaling. This receptor agonist activity is the basis for its investigation as an oncology therapy in melanoma and pancreatic cancer.

Who makes Pegilodecakin?

Pegilodecakin is developed by Eli Lilly and Company, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LLY. Lilly is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating the drug in pancreatic cancer and advanced solid tumors, including melanoma.

What phase is Pegilodecakin in?

Pegilodecakin is in Phase 1 development. A Phase 1 study in advanced solid tumors has been completed, and a Phase 3 study in metastatic pancreatic cancer has also been completed. The drug is investigational and is not described as FDA approved.

What clinical trials is Pegilodecakin in?

Pegilodecakin has been studied in two completed trials. NCT02923921 was a Phase 3 study of Pegilodecakin plus FOLFOX versus FOLFOX alone as second-line treatment in metastatic pancreatic cancer, enrolling 567 participants. NCT02009449 was a Phase 1 study in advanced solid tumors, including melanoma, enrolling 353 participants.

What is Pegilodecakin used for in pancreatic cancer?

Pegilodecakin has been evaluated in metastatic pancreatic cancer as a second-line treatment combined with FOLFOX chemotherapy. The Phase 3 trial NCT02923921 compared Pegilodecakin plus FOLFOX against FOLFOX alone in 567 participants across the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The study is completed.
