New hope for tough pancreatic cancers: can immunotherapy boost chemo?

NCT ID NCT03983057

Summary

This study tested if adding an immunotherapy drug (Anti-PD-1 antibody) to standard chemotherapy (modified-FOLFIRINOX) could help patients with borderline or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It involved 392 participants who were randomly assigned to receive either the standard chemo alone or the chemo plus immunotherapy combination. The main goal was to see if the combination could better control the cancer, delay its progression, and help more patients become eligible for surgery.
