Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding a mix of immune-boosting drugs and special immune cells to standard chemotherapy can help people with advanced pancreatic cancer live longer. About 328 participants will receive either chemo alone or chemo plus the immunotherapy combo. The study aims to see if the combo slows cancer growth and improves quality of life.

Active substance

combination of N-803 (immune booster), aldoxorubicin (chemotherapy), and PD-L1 t-haNK (immune cells) plus standard chemotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a more effective treatment option for advanced pancreatic cancer, potentially extending survival and improving quality of life.

What could go wrong
