Preliminary Results From RELIANT Trial of Relacorilant Plus Nab-Paclitaxel in Patients with Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

- Enrollment stopped in RELIANT trial
- Antitumor activity observed in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, including those previously treated with nab-paclitaxel; addition of relacorilant to nab-paclitaxel therapy was well-tolerated
- Phase 3 pivotal trial in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer upcoming
- Treatment of patients with earlier line pancreatic cancer as well as patients with other solid tumors will be evaluated
“RELIANT evaluated relacorilant plus nab-paclitaxel in pancreatic cancer patients who had relapsed following at least two prior lines of therapy, including treatment with nab-paclitaxel in almost all cases,” said
“Metastatic pancreatic cancer is a dire disease and patients who have relapsed following multiple lines of therapy have no effective treatment options. While our interim analysis suggests that the combination of relacorilant and nab-paclitaxel is active in these patients, the apparent level of benefit does not justify its further study as a treatment for end-stage pancreatic cancer.”
“All of the cancers we are studying are aggressively lethal and we will not pursue an approval unless we believe our candidate therapy offers a substantial benefit,” added
Trial Design and Preliminary Results
RELIANT is a single-arm, multicenter, open-label, Phase 3 trial of relacorilant combined with nab-paclitaxel in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, with a planned enrollment of 80 patients and a planned interim analysis of outcomes in the first 40 patients. Patients received 100 mg of relacorilant every day and 80 mg/m2 nab-paclitaxel on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. RELIANT’s primary endpoint is objective response rate.
At the planned interim analysis, the study had enrolled 43 patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who had received 2-4 prior lines of therapy (median prior lines of therapy: three), including 40 patients who were previously treated with nab-paclitaxel. As of the database cutoff date of
