New drug cocktail aims to stall pancreatic cancer after chemo

NCT ID NCT06747845

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This phase II study tests whether a combination of two drugs, niraparib and ipilimumab, can slow tumor growth in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer whose disease has not worsened after platinum-based chemotherapy. About 68 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the new combo or standard chemotherapy. The main goal is to see how long the cancer stays under control and what side effects occur.
