New registry explores targeted drug combos for hard-to-treat pancreatic cancer

NCT ID NCT05630989

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

Summary

This observational study tracks 80 people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific genetic change called KRAS G12R. Participants receive one of three treatment plans: a MEK inhibitor combined with other drugs, with or without hydroxychloroquine or an EGFR inhibitor. The goal is to see how well these combinations control the cancer and what side effects occur.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
MEK inhibitor-based combination therapy (with or without hydroxychloroquine or EGFR inhibitor)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward effective treatment strategies for people with this specific KRAS G12R mutation in advanced pancreatic cancer.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove a treatment works. It is early-stage and small (80 people), so results may not apply broadly.
