NCT ID NCT05721846

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab), a vaccine targeting TGFβ-15, and targeted radiation for pancreatic cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this mix can safely boost the immune system's attack on tumors. Only 20 participants are enrolled, and the main focus is on side effects and signs of tumor shrinkage.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

nivolumab, ipilimumab, TGFβ-15 peptide vaccine, and stereotactic body radiotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new combination treatment that helps control pancreatic cancer when other therapies have failed.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 20 participants, so it is primarily testing safety. The combination may cause significant side effects and may not improve outcomes.
