Summary

This study tests a new drug called narmafotinib, taken as a daily pill, together with a standard chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFIRINOX) in people whose pancreatic cancer has spread. The trial has two parts: first, finding a safe dose, then comparing two doses in 20 people each. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective, and to pick the best dose for future studies.
