Summary
This early-phase trial tests the safety and feasibility of adding the diabetes drug metformin and a specific dietary supplement blend to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and Abraxane) for people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The study involves 21 participants and aims to see if this combination is tolerable and can slow cancer growth. It is not a cure, but an effort to improve disease control.
