Hopeful new approach for tough pancreatic cancer

NCT ID NCT03767582

Summary

This study tested whether adding two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and BMS-813160) with or without a cancer vaccine (GVAX) could help control locally advanced pancreatic cancer after standard chemotherapy and radiation. Researchers enrolled 46 patients to check if this combination was safe and if it boosted the immune system's attack on cancer cells. The goal was to see if this approach could help shrink tumors enough for surgery or extend survival.
