Dose Expansion (AB680 + NP/Gem): Cohort A2 (front-line/1L)EXPERIMENTALParticipants with advanced pancreatic cancer who are naïve to any prior treatment will receive AB680 (at the RP2D identified during dose escalation) and the standard NP/Gem chemotherapy regimen.
Dose Expansion (AB680 + zimberelimab + NP/Gem): Cohort B (second-line/2L)EXPERIMENTALParticipants with advance pancreatic cancer who have received 1 prior line of treatment will receive AB680 (at the RP2D identified during dose escalation) combined with zimberelimab and NP-Gem chemotherapy regimen.
Dose Expansion (AB680 + zimberelimab + NP/Gem): Cohort C (front-line/1L)EXPERIMENTALParticipants with advanced pancreatic cancer naïve to any prior treatment will receive AB680 combined with zimberelimab and NP-Gem chemotherapy regimen.
Dose Expansion (AB680 + NP/Gem): Cohort D (front-line/1L)EXPERIMENTALParticipants with advanced pancreatic cancer naïve to any prior treatment will receive AB680 combined with NP-Gem chemotherapy regimen.

Frequently asked questions about AB680

What is AB680 used for?

AB680 is an investigational small molecule being studied for use in healthy volunteers and in oncology indications including metastatic colorectal cancer and advanced pancreatic cancer. It is being developed by Arcus Biosciences, Inc. (RCUS) and is currently in Phase 1 clinical development.

What does AB680 target?

AB680 targets CD73, a protein involved in the production of adenosine in the tumor microenvironment. By inhibiting CD73, AB680 is designed to modulate the immune response against tumors. This mechanism is being evaluated in early-stage clinical trials for gastrointestinal malignancies.

Who makes AB680?

AB680 is being developed by Arcus Biosciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NYSE under the ticker RCUS. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of AB680 in healthy volunteers and in patients with certain cancers.

What phase is AB680 in?

AB680 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. Clinical trials are ongoing or completed to assess its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile in healthy volunteers and in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies.

What clinical trials is AB680 in?

AB680 has been studied in several Phase 1 trials. NCT03677973 and NCT04575311 evaluated safety and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers in Australia. NCT04104672 assessed safety and tolerability in advanced pancreatic cancer in the United States. NCT04660812 evaluated AB680 in combination with etrumadenant in metastatic colorectal cancer across multiple countries.

Is AB680 the same as etrumadenant?

No, AB680 is not the same as etrumadenant. AB680 is a CD73 inhibitor, while etrumadenant (AB928) is a separate investigational drug. In clinical trial NCT04660812, AB680 was studied in combination with etrumadenant for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.
