This study is testing narmafotinib, a type of drug called a focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor, when it is given in combination with 4 chemotherapy drugs in a regimen called FOLFIRINOX, to patients who have pancreatic cancer which has metastasised (spread). The study is being run in 2 parts. Part A will test increasing dose levels of narmafotinib in at least 3 people per dose at up to 4 dose levels to assess safety. Part B will test 2 of the dose levels from Part A in 20 people per dose, to select the best dose to take forward into future studies. Participants will take narmafotinib as oral capsules every day. They will also receive mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy on Day 1 and and Day 15 of 28-day cycles.

Number of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) from Baseline to End of Study
TEAEs during study treatment and follow up periods
Time frame: From first dose of study drug to end of study, an expected average of 6 months
Part B: identification of optimal dose of narmafotinib
The optimal dose will be selected based on a review of safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), efficacy, and any other available relevant data
Time frame: From first dose of study drug to end of study, an expected average of 6 months
narmafotinib levels in plasma
Measurement of maximum concentration (Cmax) of narmafotinib
Time frame: Days -7, -6, -1, 1 and 15 of Run-In/Cycle 1; and Day 1 of Cycles 2 and 4 (each cycle is 28 days)
narmafotinib levels in plasma
Measurement of time to Cmax (tmax) of narmafotinib
Time frame: Days -7, -6, -1, 1 and 15 of Run-In/Cycle 1; and Day 1 of Cycles 2 and 4 (each cycle is 28 days)
narmafotinib levels in plasma
Measurement of clearance of narmafotinib
Time frame: Days -7, -6, -1, 1 and 15 of Run-In/Cycle 1; and Day 1 of Cycles 2 and 4 (each cycle is 28 days)
Overall response rate (ORR)
ORR based on RECIST 1.1
Time frame: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months
Overall survival (OS)
OS of participants, defined as time from first dose until death from any cause
Time frame: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months
Progression free survival (PFS)
PFS of participants, defined as time from first dose to date of first observed progression, based on RECIST, or death from any cause (whichever comes first)
Time frame: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months
Clinical benefit rate (CBR)
CBR defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) + partial response (PR) + stable disease (SD) with SD for at least 6 months
Time frame: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months
Duration of response (DOR)
DOR based on RECIST defined as the time from the date of the first confirmed response to the date of progression or death
Time frame: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months
Disease control rate (DCR)
DCR based on RECIST defined as the proportion of participants who achieve complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD)
Time frame: Imaging every 56 days per participant, with an expected average duration of 6 months
