Inclusion criteria

  • 18~80 years old, male or female;
  • Locally advanced unresectable or metastatic PDAC confirmed by histopathology or cytopathology;
  • Patients who have not received prior systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer;
  • Patients with at least one measurable tumor lesion per RECIST v1.1;
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1;
  • Expected survival time ≥ 12 weeks;
  • Patients who have adequate organ function;
  • Female subjects who are not pregnant or not breastfeeding. A negative pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential within 7 days prior to first dosing. Male and female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective method of contraception during the entire course of the study and within 180 days after the end of the study.
  • Subjects participate voluntarily and sign informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

  • Concurrent use of other anticancer drugs, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or biologics;
  • The patients who are known to be allergic to the investigatinal drug or its any excipient;
  • Patients with the following conditions: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, NYHA grade 2 or above cardiac dysfunction, and clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmia requiring clinical intervention within 6 months before signing the ICF;
  • Patients with high risk for gastrointestinal bleeding or abdominal bleeding as assessed by the investigator, such as tumor invasion of the gastro duodenum finger intestines, large blood vessels, etc.;
  • Patients with symptomatic CNS metastasis, leptomeningeal metastasis, or spinal cord compression due to metastasis.
  • Patients with other active malignant tumors within 3 years before signing the ICF. Patients with cured skin basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, carcinoma in situ of the breast ductal, and papillary thyroid cancer can be enrolled.
  • Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), active hepatitis or co-infection with hepatitis B and C.
  • Patients who require systemic antibiotics for ≥7 days within 4 weeks prior to first dose, or unexplained fever >38.5°C prior during screening or before first dose;
  • Patients who participated in any other clinical studies;
  • Patients with a known history of psychoactive drug abuse, alcohol abuse, or substance abuse; History of definitive neurological or mental disorder, including epilepsy or dementia;
  • The patients with added risks associated with the study or may interfere with the interpretation of study results as determined by the investigator, or deemed unsuitable by the investigator and/or sponsor.

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Approximately 36 months

    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who have a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as assessed by investigator evaluation per RECIST 1.1.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Approximately 36 months

    OS is defined as the duration from randomization to the time point when death occurs due to any cause.

  2. Progression Free Survival(PFS)

    Time frame: Approximately 36 months

    PFS is defined as the duration from randomization to the first imaging confirmation of progressive disease per RECIST 1.1 by investigator evaluation or death due to any cause (whichever occurs first).

  3. 6-month PFS rate

    Time frame: Approximately 36 months

    6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate.

  4. Duration Of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Approximately 36 months

    DOR is defined as the time from the date of the first response (CR/PR) until the date of progressive disease as assessed by investigator evaluation per RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause (whichever occurs first).

  5. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Approximately 36 months

    DCR was defined as the percentage of confirmed CR, PR or stable disease at the best response as assessed by investigator evaluation per RECIST 1.1.

  6. Incidence of AEs, SAEs and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: From the subject signs the ICF to 30 days after the last dose of study drug was administered.

    Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), treatment-emergent adverse events are included. The investigator should carry out judgment for investigational drug correlation.
