Recruiting PHASE1 Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

New treatment option for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Official title 9-ING-41 Combined With Retifanlimab, Plus Modified FOLFIRINOX for Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (RiLEY)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06896188

What this study is testing

What is Retifanlimab?

Retifanlimab is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Also referred to as ZYNYZ.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a study of the combination of 9 ING-41 (elraglusib) and retifanlimab plus mFOLFIRINOX in patients with pancreatic cancer without prior systemic therapy for advanced disease. The safety lead-in cohort will consist of 6 patients, followed by dose de-escalation if necessary, based on safety assessments.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
  • Time commitment: about 2 years
