First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested an experimental drug called BMS-813160, given together with chemotherapy or the immunotherapy nivolumab (Opdivo), in 332 people with advanced colorectal or pancreatic cancer. The main goals were to check safety, side effects, and how the body processes the drug, while also looking for early signs that the tumors shrink. The trial has been completed, and results will help decide if further testing is warranted.

What this could lead to
