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

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests a chemotherapy regimen called NALIRIFOX combined with precise radiation (SBRT) in 42 people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can delay cancer growth and improve survival. Participants receive either early or late radiation after starting chemo, and are followed for at least two years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

NALIRIFOX chemotherapy (liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option to control locally advanced pancreatic cancer and extend survival without surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small Phase 2 trial (42 people) with no control group, so results may not be definitive. Chemotherapy and radiation have significant side effects, and the cancer may still progress.
