Three-Pronged attack on pancreatic cancer shows promise

NCT ID NCT02648282

Summary

This study tested whether a combination of a pancreatic cancer vaccine, an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab), and precise, high-dose radiation could help control locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It involved 58 patients whose cancer had not spread to distant organs but could not be surgically removed. The goal was to see if this multi-part treatment could delay the cancer's spread and was safe for patients.
