Summary

This large Phase 2/3 trial is testing whether adding an investigational drug called telisotuzumab adizutecan to standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX) can help people with metastatic pancreatic cancer live longer or shrink their tumors. About 900 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the new combination or standard care. The study is currently recruiting at sites worldwide.
