New registry explores targeted drug combos for hard-to-treat pancreatic cancer
NCT ID NCT05630989
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study tracks 80 people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific genetic change called KRAS G12R. Participants receive one of three treatment plans: a MEK inhibitor combined with other drugs, with or without hydroxychloroquine or an EGFR inhibitor. The goal is to see how well these combinations control the cancer and what side effects occur.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MEK inhibitor-based combination therapy (with or without hydroxychloroquine or EGFR inhibitor)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward effective treatment strategies for people with this specific KRAS G12R mutation in advanced pancreatic cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove a treatment works. It is early-stage and small (80 people), so results may not apply broadly.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years. 2. Diagnosis of advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma as determined by the treating physician or tumor board. 3. Tumor must have KRAS G12R mutation, as determined by a next generation sequencing (NGS) panel or circulating tumor DNA panel of choice of the treating physician. 4.
