What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether combining an experimental drug called retlirafusp alfa with apatinib and chemotherapy can help people with advanced pancreatic cancer whose disease has worsened after initial treatment. The study will enroll about 37 adults with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer to see if the combination can delay cancer progression and improve survival. Researchers will also monitor safety and how well the treatment shrinks tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
retlirafusp alfa combined with apatinib and chemotherapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new second-line treatment option for people with advanced pancreatic cancer, potentially extending life or slowing tumor growth.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase, small study (37 participants) without a comparison group, so results may not be definitive. The combination may cause significant side effects and may not improve outcomes for all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18 to 75 years, male or female. 2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. 3. ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1. 4. Disease progression after first-line systemic therapy. 5. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1, as assessed by the investigator. 6. Availability of 10 archived tumor tissue sections and 10 mL of peripheral blood. 7. Adequate organ function. 8. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days before enrollment, must not be breastfeeding, and must agree to use effective contraception during the study and for 6 months after the end of study treatment. Male participants must also agree to use effective contraception during the study and for 6 months after the end of study treatment. 9. Voluntary participation in the study, provision of written informed consent, and willingness and ability to comply with study procedures and follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known hypersensitivity to the investigational drug or any of its excipients. 2. Major surgery, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks before study treatment. 3. Participation in another investigational drug clinical study within 4 weeks before enrollment. 4. History of other malignancy within the past 5 years, except for malignancies that have been definitively treated and are considered cured. 5. Any of the following medical conditions: Untreated or symptomatic brain metastases or spinal cord compression. Other active malignancy requiring concurrent treatment. Active autoimmune disease or immunodeficiency, or a history of such conditions, including autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, hypophysitis, vasculitis, or nephritis. Exceptions include stable conditions not requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy, such as type 1 diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism requiring only hormone replacement therapy, or skin diseases not requiring systemic treatment, such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia. History of substance abuse or psychiatric disorders that may interfere with study participation. 6. Severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions, including: Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg. Grade ≥1 myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction; clinically significant arrhythmia, including QTc ≥450 ms in males or ≥470 ms in females; congestive heart failure of NYHA class ≥II; or LVEF \<50%. Decompensated diabetes mellitus or other conditions contraindicating high-dose corticosteroid therapy. Exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other severe respiratory disease requiring hospitalization. Active or uncontrolled severe infection (≥Grade 2 according to CTCAE). Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring repeated drainage. Cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, active hepatitis, or chronic hepatitis requiring antiviral treatment. Renal dysfunction with urine protein ≥++ on urinalysis and confirmed 24-hour urinary protein \>1.0 g. 7. Severe infection within 4 weeks before the first dose, including infectious complications, bacteremia, or severe pneumonia requiring hospitalization or intravenous antibiotics, antifungal agents, or antiviral therapy; or unexplained fever \>38.5°C during screening or before the first dose. 8.
