Experimental enzyme targets tough pancreatic tumors

NCT ID NCT02921022

Summary

This study tests whether adding an experimental drug called PEGPH20 to standard chemotherapy helps control advanced pancreatic cancer. PEGPH20 works by breaking down a substance called hyaluronan that pancreatic tumors produce, which may help shrink tumors. The research involves 110 people with advanced pancreatic cancer and focuses on both treatment effectiveness and safety risks, particularly blood clot side effects.
