NCT ID NCT07637786

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new peptide nanovaccine (ONVAX-01) together with an anti-PD-1 antibody and standard chemotherapy in 9 people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has worsened after prior treatment. The main goals are to see if the combination is safe and whether it can shrink tumors or stop the cancer from growing. Participants receive the vaccine as a shot under the skin and the other drugs through an IV, along with regular checkups and scans.

What this could lead to
