New hope for Hard-to-Treat pancreatic cancer: targeted combo trial launches
NCT ID NCT06770452
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing a new drug combination for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific mutation called KRAS G12D. The treatment combines HRS-4642 (a drug that targets the mutated protein), nimotuzumab (an antibody that blocks a growth signal), and standard chemotherapy. The study aims to see how well this combo shrinks tumors and controls the disease in 32 patients who have not had prior treatment for advanced cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HRS-4642 (a KRAS G12D inhibitor) combined with nimotuzumab (an EGFR-targeting antibody) and chemotherapy (gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new first-line treatment option for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific KRAS G12D mutation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase (Phase 2) single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may not be definitive. The combination may cause significant side effects and may not work for everyone.

Creatinine clearance≥50 mL/min or serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN; 7. Urinary protein \<2+; if urine protein≥2+, an additional 24 hours urine protein quantification should be tested, and if 24 hours urine protein quantification \<1g can be enrolled; 8. ECG: QTcF≤450 ms (male), QTcF≤470 ms (female); 9.

For men, surgical sterilization or consent to use appropriate contraception during the study and within 6 months after completion of treatment. 10.Volunteer to participate in the study and sign the informed consent form, good compliance, agreed to cooperate with the follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: 1.Previous treatment: 1. Previous treatment of targeted therapy against KRAS G12D. 2. Previous targeted therapy against EGFR. 3. Received major surgery or major trauma within 4 weeks before enrollment, or palliative local treatment (including but not limited to palliative radiotherapy, interventional therapy) within 2 weeks prior to enrollment. 4. Have received any other clinical study medication within 4 weeks before enrollment, except for an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or interventional clinical study follow-up.
