This Phase 3 trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of gemcitabine in combination with TH-302 compared to gemcitabine in combination with placebo in subjects with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Randomized subjects will receive TH-302 plus gemcitabine or gemcitabine plus placebo in 4-week cycles until there is evidence of progressive disease, intolerable toxicity, or the subject discontinues from the trial for other reasons (for example, withdrawal of consent). The primary efficacy endpoint is overall survival (OS) time. The data cut-off for statistical analyses of the primary and secondary endpoints will be reached when 508 events (deaths) will be reported. No planned interim analyses will be conducted. An Independent Safety Monitoring Board (ISMB) will provide periodic evaluations of the unblinded safety data to ensure subject safety and the validity and scientific merit of the study. A total of 660 subjects will be enrolled.

TH-302 will be administered at a dose of 340 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) as intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on Day 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle. Doses will be administered until evidence of progressive disease, intolerable toxicity or subject withdrawal.
Gemcitabine will be administered at a dose of 1000 (mg/m\^2) as intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on Day 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle. Doses will be administered until evidence of progressive disease, intolerable toxicity or subject withdrawal.
TH-302 placebo (5 percent dextrose - D5W) will be administered as intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on Day 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle. Doses will be administered until evidence of progressive disease, intolerable toxicity or subject withdrawal.

Overall Survival
Overall survival is defined as time from randomization to death or last day known to be alive.
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
Progression Free Survival
Progression Free Survival is defined as the time from randomization to either first observation of progressive disease or occurrence of death. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
