New hope for pancreatic cancer: targeted drug combo enters Mid-Stage trial
NCT ID NCT06770439
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase II study tests a new drug called IBI343, which targets a protein on cancer cells, combined with standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and albumin-bound paclitaxel) in 64 people with advanced pancreatic cancer. The trial has two parts: a safety lead-in and a randomized extension. Researchers will measure how many patients' tumors shrink and track side effects. The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- IBI343 (a drug that targets a protein on cancer cells, linked to a chemotherapy agent) plus gemcitabine and albumin-bound paclitaxel
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific protein (CLDN18.2).
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase II trial with only 64 participants, so results are not definitive. The drug combination may cause side effects like blood or liver toxicity, and it may not improve outcomes compared to standard chemotherapy.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Signed written informed consent, willing and able to comply with the protocol specified visits and related procedures. * Histopathologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. * Subjects must not be eligible for radical treatment such as radical radiotherapy and / or surgery; time to disease recurrence / metastasis\> 6 months for subjects with previous (new) adjuvant / adjuvant / radiotherapy) chemotherapy / radical chemoradiotherapy. In part 1: locally advanced or recurrent / metastatic stage with or without systemic therapy (including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, tumor immunotherapy, etc.). In part 2: The locally advanced or recurrent / metastasis phase has not received any systemic therapy (including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, tumor immunotherapy, etc.). * At least 1 measurable lesion (no previous radiotherapy) for solid tumors RECIST v1.1.(At baseline, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging showed the long diameter of 10 mm (except for lymph nodes, the short axis of the lymph node must be 15 mm), the diameter of the target lesion is 2 times the imaging layer thickness and the lesion is suitable for repeated accurate measurement. If a lesion located in the previously irradiated area clearly demonstrates a progression meeting the RECIST V1.1 criteria, the lesion acts as a measurable lesion). * Age was 18 years, and gender was unlimited. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) was 0 or 1. * The expected survival period was estimated at 12 weeks. * Sufficient bone marrow and organ function. * Female subjects of childbearing age or male partners of childbearing age should take effective contraception throughout the treatment period and within 6 months after the treatment period. * Pathological tissue testing was confirmed as CLDN18.2 positive. Exclusion Criteria: * Is participating in another interventional clinical study, except for an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or is in the survival follow-up phase of the interventional study. * Treatment with a strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitor within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before the first dose of the study drug. * The last anti-tumor therapy within 4 weeks before the first dose of the study drug or within 5 half-lives of the anti-tumor treatment (whichever is shorter) (2 weeks for washout with no exact half-life). * Received therapeutic or palliative radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to the first administration of the study drug. * Receiving biliary stenting or PTCD within 7 days prior to the first use of study drug. * Other anti-tumor treatment is planned during the study medication \[allows palliative radiotherapy for the purpose of relieving symptoms (e. g. pain) and does not affect efficacy evaluation\]. * Any live vaccine is administered within 4 weeks before the first dose of the study drug or during the duration of the study. * A major surgical procedure (craniotomy, otomy, or tomy or otherwise defined by the investigator, excluding needle biopsy within 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug) or the presence of an unhealed wound, ulcer, or fracture; or a requirement that major surgery is planned during the study. For the purpose of palliative care, the local surgical treatment of isolated lesions is acceptable. Any live vaccine within 4 weeks before the first dose of the study drug or during the duration of the study. * A major surgical procedure (craniotomy, otomy, or tomy or otherwise defined by the investigator, excluding needle biopsy within 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug) or the presence of an unhealed wound, ulcer, or fracture; or a planned major surgery required during the study. For the purpose of palliative care, the local surgical treatment of isolated lesions is acceptable. * Failure to recover to grade 0 or 1 prior to the first dose of study drug of NCI CTCAE v5.0 (excluding alopecia, fatigue, pigmentation, and other conditions with no safety risk as judged by the investigator). * A history of gastrointestinal perforation and / or fistula within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug was not resolved by surgery. presence of pyloric obstruction and / or persistent recurrent vomiting (3 times within 24 hours). * After gastrointestinal or tracheal lumen stenting. * Symptomatic CNS metastasis. For subjects with asymptomatic brain metastases (i. e., no glucocorticoid treatment, 1.5 cm treatment) or stable brain metastases after treatment, all the following criteria were required to participate in this study: no meson, pons, cerebellum, meninges, medullary or spinal cord metastasis; remained clinically stable for at least 4 weeks, confirmed clinical evidence of no new or expanded brain metastases, and stopped corticosteroid and anticonvulsant therapy for at least 2 weeks before the first dose of study drug. Note: The CNS is not used as a target lesion. * Bone metastases at risk of paraplegia. * Interstitial lung disease requiring steroid hormone therapy, or a history of - interstitial lung disease, non-infectious pneumonia, severely impaired or uncontrolled lung function, such as pulmonary fibrosis, severe radiation pneumonitis, acute lung injury, or is suspected during screening. * There are diseases that fail to control History of the other primary malignancies. * A known medical history of immunodeficiency. * History of allogeneic organ transplantation and allogeneic HSCT. * Previous treatment with antibody drug conjugates based on topoisomerase inhibitors. * For medicated subjects, there was a previous history of allergy to the appropriate drug or preparation. * For subjects receiving medication, there are contraindications to the drug. * There was a history of prior drug-related non-morbidity. * Female subjects in pregnancy or lactation. * Other investigators are not eligible for participation in this study.
