Elraglusib plus gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel demonstrated a median OS of 12.5 months vs 8.5 months with chemotherapy alone in patients with PDAC.

Stereotactic online adaptive magnetic resonance–guided radiation therapy was well tolerated and maintained stable QOL in patients with PDAC for up to 1 year.

Results from a phase 2a trial showed a 6-month OS and PFS rate of 94% and 72% compared with 67% and 44% from the phase 3 MPACT trial in the first-line treatment of PDAC.

The FDA decision follows phase 2 CANFOUR trial data showing a 2-year survival rate of 35% in IL1RAP-high metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

EBC-129 was well tolerated, with a safety profile consistent with other MMAE-based ADCs in patients with PDAC and other solid tumors.

A survival benefit was noted when elraglusib was added to chemotherapy for patients with metastatic PDAC.

Cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine, and capecitabine significantly improved EFS vs mFOLFIRINOX in resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

A post hoc analysis of NAPOLI-3 reveals clinical characteristics and treatment strategies associated with long-term survival in patients with metastatic PDAC treated with NALIRIFOX.

Clinical data from a phase 1 trial evaluating EBC-129 in solid tumors will be presented at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Society Annual Meeting.

Ten of 12 patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma given the recommended phase 2 dose of the combination regimen had a response.

The phase 2 Actuate 1801 part 3b trial results evaluating elraglusib with GnP in metastatic PDAC will be presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting.

Among 20 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and available circulating tumor mutational burden data, 40% exhibited increased tumor mutational burden.

Higher social vulnerability index was independently associated with lower odds of meeting at least one quality criterion in treatment for PDAC.

Although the overall incidence of colorectal adenocarcinoma is decreasing, the reduction is primarily associated with patients 55 years or older.

Post hoc analysis of the NAPOLI 3 trial suggests that proactively managing NALIRIFOX-induced diarrhea could allow patients with PDAC to remain on treatment longer.

The blood test showed consistent, strong results in high-risk subgroups such as those with familial history, pancreatic cysts, or diabetes.

Data from the phase 3 CABINET study support the approval of cabozantinib in patients with pancreatic and extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

The OSE2101 cancer vaccine plus FOLFIRI chemotherapy demonstrated positive survival data with minimal toxicities in the phase 2 TEDOPaM trial.

The CAN-2409 combination improved survival post-progression vs standard-of-care therapy alone in the phase 2 PaTK02 trial.

Almost all patients evaluable for efficacy reported a decrease in ctDNA when treated with daraxonrasib for RAS-mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Post hoc analysis of the phase 3 NAPOLI 3 trial assessed how dose reductions in liposomal irinotecan/oxaliplatin affect OS in NALIRIFOX-treated PDAC.

Cohort 5 of the ongoing phase 1/2 GOBLET study evaluated the safety of pelareorep in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX with or without atezolizumab in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

A 3-cohort retrospective analysis compared patients who met eligibility for the NAPOLI 3 trial with all-comers treated with FOLFIRINOX for PDAC.

The phase 2 EA2186 trial was the first elderly-specific clinical trial evaluating chemotherapy in vulnerable adults with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Updated phase 2 results support further investigation of surufatinib plus TAS-012 in a larger cohort of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
