Can a new targeted drug boost Chemotherapy's power against pancreatic cancer?
NCT ID NCT07769502
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Sep 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding an investigational drug called telisotuzumab adizutecan to standard chemotherapy can help people with pancreatobiliary cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Participants will receive either the new combination or standard care, and researchers will compare how well the tumors respond and how long people live without the cancer progressing. The study aims to find the best dose and see if the combination is safe and effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- telisotuzumab adizutecan combined with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for pancreatobiliary cancers, potentially improving response rates and extending survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial, so the drug may not work as hoped or could cause significant side effects. The results may not apply to 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: * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status (PS) of 0 or 1. * Resolution of any acute clinically significant treatment-related toxicity from prior therapy to Grade \<= 1 prior to study entry (except for alopecia of any grade). * Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 at baseline. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior cellular-Mesenchymal Epithelial Transition (c-MET) protein targeting therapy * History of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis that required treatment with systemic steroids, or any evidence of active ILD/pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan, including a history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis. * Has had major surgery or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to randomization/enrollment, or anticipation of the need for major surgery during the course of study intervention. Placement of biliary stent/tube is permitted.
