Scientists test new drug cocktail in fight against tough pancreatic cancer

NCT ID NCT01660971

Summary

This early-stage study is testing a combination of three drugs (gemcitabine, dasatinib, and erlotinib) in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. The main goals are to find the safest and most effective dose and to understand the side effects. Researchers hope this combination will work together to stop cancer cell growth better than single drugs.
