Qualifiers
Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Is previously untreated for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; metastatic disease must have been diagnosed within the past 3 months; and subject is expected to receive standard treatment with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Subjects who have had planned or prior surgery, such as a Whipple procedure, with or without neo-adjuvant/or adjuvant chemotherapy may be included.

Any history of retinopathy or at risk for retinal detachment (personal or family history of retinal detachment, extreme myopia [-6.0 diopters or approximately 20/500], eye surgery <6 months prior to C1D1, or history of a severe eye injury.
