Triple threat against pancreatic cancer: radiation, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy combined
NCT ID NCT07683221
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a new treatment approach for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Participants receive targeted radiation therapy followed by a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab N01 and sintilimab) plus standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine). The goal is to see if this powerful mix can delay cancer growth and improve survival.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Stereotactic body radiotherapy, ipilimumab N01, sintilimab, nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination approach could offer a new treatment option that extends survival and controls tumor growth in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase, single-arm trial with only 47 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination of therapies may cause significant side effects, and the treatment may not improve outcomes compared to standard care.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants voluntarily agree to participate in the study, sign the informed consent form, and are willing and able to comply with study procedures and follow-up. * Histologically or cytologically confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. * Locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer without distant metastasis, confirmed by multidisciplinary team evaluation. * Age 18 to 75 years, inclusive. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 1. * Life expectancy of at least 3 months. * No prior systemic therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer. * At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1. Exclusion Criteria: * Participation in another anti-cancer drug clinical trial within 4 weeks before enrollment. * Prior targeted therapy or prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. * Presence of distant organ metastasis, including liver, peritoneal, brain, or meningeal metastasis. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes the participant unsuitable for enrollment in this study.
