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

Summary

This phase II trial is testing two different drug combinations for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer that has spread. One group gets a standard chemo plus S-1 and leucovorin; the other gets standard chemo plus oxaliplatin. The goal is to see which combo works better at shrinking tumors and delaying progression. About 66 participants are enrolled across multiple centers in Taiwan.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a more effective first-line treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer, potentially extending the time patients live without the disease worsening.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (66 participants) testing two experimental combinations. The results may not lead to a new standard of care, and the added drugs could increase side effects without improving survival.
