New drug duo aims to hold back deadly pancreatic cancer

NCT ID NCT04666740

Summary

This study is testing whether combining two drugs, pembrolizumab and olaparib, can better control advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread. The treatment is for patients whose cancer has stopped growing or shrunk while on platinum-based chemotherapy. Researchers want to see if this combination can keep the cancer from progressing longer than using olaparib alone.
