New cocktail of drugs aims to tackle tough pancreatic cancer

History or presence at screening of retinal disease, including: retinal vein occlusion (RVO), retinal artery occlusion, retinal vasculitis, diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, retinal capillaropathy (Costs disease), retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED); Presence of RVO risk factors at screening (e.g., uncontrolled glaucoma or ocular hypertension, history of hyperviscosity or hypercoagulable syndromes); retinal diseases such as RPED; 9. Patients with interstitial lung disease or interstitial pneumonia, including clinically significant radiation pneumonitis (i.e., affecting activities of daily living or requiring intervention); 10. Known active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB); subjects suspected of active TB must undergo clinical evaluation to rule it out; known active syphilis infection; 11. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive, syphilis antibody (Anti-TP) positive, hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive with HCV RNA positive, hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) positive with HBV DNA positive (HBsAg positive requires further testing for HBV DNA, HBV DNA ≥ 200 IU/ml, or ≥ 10³ copies/ml); 12.

Uncorrectable electrolyte abnormalities (hypokalaemia, hypomagnesaemia, hypocalcaemia confirmed by blood biochemistry); 17. Past or current neuromuscular disorders associated with elevated CK levels (e.g., inflammatory myopathies, muscular dystrophies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, rhabdomyolysis syndrome); 18. Arterial or venous thromboembolic events occurring within 6 months prior to first administration, such as cerebrovascular accidents (including transient ischaemic attacks, cerebral haemorrhage, cerebral infarction), deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism; 19.

Patients currently receiving intravenous or oral medications that are prohibited by the protocol due to their effects on CYP isoenzymes (strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4) and cannot be discontinued at least one week prior to study treatment initiation and throughout the study period; patients taking narrow therapeutic index medications metabolised via CYP1A2; 32. Inability to swallow capsules, or refractory nausea and vomiting, malabsorption, extrahepatic bile diversion, or significant small bowel resection that may impair adequate absorption of the study drug; 33. Other circumstances deemed unsuitable for inclusion by the investigator. For example, family or social factors that may compromise the subject's safety or the collection of data and samples.
