Full Title
Phase 1 Safety and Tolerability Study of Human Monoclonal Antibody 5B1 (MVT 5873) with Expansion in Subjects with Pancreatic Cancer or Other CA19 9 Positive MalignanciesPurpose
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug MVT-5873 that can be given alone and in combination with standard chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer and other tumors that contain the CA19-9 protein. MVT-5873 is designed to kill cancer by targeting CA19-9, a protein on the surface of these cancer cells.
Patients whose pancreatic cancer came back after prior treatment will receive MVT-5873 alone. Those whose cancer has not yet been treated will receive MVT-5873 plus the standard chemotherapy drugs nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine. All of these drugs are given intravenously (by vein).
