Clinical Trials for Pancreas Cancer

A Phase II Telemedicine Study of Pemigatinib in Adult Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Pancreas Cancer With FGFR2 Gene Fusions or Other FGFR Genetic Alterations

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer harboring FGFR alterations receive oral pemigatinib (FGFR1–3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor) in 21‑day cycles; Cohort 1 requires FGFR2 fusion/translocation and KRAS-wild type, while Cohort 2 includes other activating FGFR1/2/3/4 alterations (KRAS co-mutations allowed), all after progression/intolerance to standard therapy and no prior FGFR inhibitor. Single-arm telemedicine study assessing response, PFS, and safety, with attention to class‑typical toxicities (e.g., hyperphosphatemia, ocular events).

A Phase I Study of Fulvestrant in Combination With Lu-DOTATATE for Advanced Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with well-differentiated (G1–2), SSTR-positive pancreatic NETs that are unresectable/metastatic and have progressed after ≥1 prior systemic therapy (no prior PRRT or fulvestrant) receive 177Lu-DOTATATE plus fulvestrant.

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (ECOG 0–2) without prior pancreatic radiation receive stereotactic-like adaptive radiation therapy in 5 every-other-day fractions after optional induction chemotherapy.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who have disease control after 4–6 months of first-line chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX/mFOLFIRINOX, NALIRIFOX, or gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel) are randomized to standard post-induction management (continue chemo, standard-dose chemoradiation with 5-FU/capecitabine, or observation) versus dose‑escalated radiation (preferably 5 fractions; or 25 fractions with optional 5-FU/capecitabine), with chemotherapy completion to 6 months as needed. No investigational drugs are used; the trial tests whether higher-dose, precision RT improves survival.

A Phase 2b/3, Randomized, Double-Blind Study to Investigate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Ponsegromab (PF-06946860) Compared With Placebo Both With Background First-Line Chemotherapy in Adult Participants With Cachexia and Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with metastatic PDAC and cancer-associated cachexia (ECOG 0–1) beginning next cycle of first-line nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine or (m)FOLFIRINOX are randomized to add ponsegromab, a subcutaneous anti–GDF-15 monoclonal antibody aimed at improving appetite/weight and function, versus placebo. Investigational therapy is given Q4W alongside standard chemotherapy; exclusions include reversible anorexia causes, CNS metastases, significant cardiac dysfunction, severe hepatic/renal impairment, and tube or parenteral feeding.

Phase 2, Single-Arm Trial of BMS-986340 in Combination With Nivolumab, Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel in the First Line Setting of Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Investigational drug late phase

The trial is testing an investigational drug and is at least phase 2, suggesting that the drug has shown promise in phase 1 studies and might have a high chance of working well compared to other investigational drugs.

No known activity

No investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity yet in clinical trials

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

TrialFetch AI summary: Eligible patients are adults with measurable metastatic or recurrent pancreatic adenocarcinoma (ECOG 0–1) who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease (adjuvant/neoadjuvant allowed if completed ≥12 months prior) and have adequate organ function. Treatment is first-line nivolumab (anti–PD-1) plus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel with added BMS-986340 (imzokitug), an investigational nonfucosylated anti-CCR8 IgG1 designed to block CCR8 and deplete CCR8+ tumor-infiltrating Tregs via ADCC, given in 28-day cycles until progression/toxicity (up to 2 years).
