New hope for tough pancreatic cancers: drug combo aims to shrink tumors before surgery
NCT ID NCT06673017
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests a new drug called PTM-101 given alongside standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that is either borderline resectable or locally advanced (meaning it has not spread far but is hard to remove surgically). The goal is to see if adding PTM-101 is safe and can shrink tumors enough to allow successful surgery. About 26 participants will receive the drug during their pre-surgery treatment.
