Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Stopped early

Summary

This large Phase 3 trial tests whether adding two immune-boosting drugs (ivonescimab and AK117) to standard chemotherapy helps people with metastatic pancreatic cancer live longer. About 999 participants will be randomly assigned to get the new drugs or a placebo, all with chemo. The goal is to see if the combination improves survival and slows cancer growth.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Ivonescimab and AK117 (immune-boosting drugs) plus chemotherapy (albumin-bound paclitaxel and gemcitabine)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new first-line treatment option that helps people with metastatic pancreatic cancer live longer.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage Phase 3 trial, so results are not guaranteed. The drugs may cause side effects like immune reactions or infections, and the benefit over standard chemotherapy is uncertain.
