Combination of ivermectin with standard skin-protective care for daraxonrasib-related skin toxicity in pancreatic cancer
Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label Study of Standard of Care Prophylaxis Versus Standard of Care Prophylaxis Plus Ivermectin for the Prevention of Daraxonrasib-Induced Skin Toxicity in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
Run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center · NCT07895498 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether adding ivermectin to standard preventive skin care helps people with pancreatic cancer who develop skin side effects from daraxonrasib.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma planned to receive daraxonrasib, who have skin toxicity related to the treatment and meet study criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose skin toxicity does not improve or who experience adverse reactions to ivermectin may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This phase 2 interventional trial compares the addition of ivermectin to standard of care prophylaxis for daraxonrasib-induced skin toxicity in advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Participants are randomized to receive ivermectin plus SOCP or SOCP alone, with quality of life assessed through patient questionnaires. The study includes topical and systemic agents such as minocycline, hypochlorous acid, hydrocortisone cream, triamcinolone cream, and clobetasol as part of the management. Outcomes focus on skin toxicity response and patient-reported quality of life, with safety monitoring throughout treatment. Enrollment is limited to adults with daraxonrasib-eligible disease and without active infections or concomitant investigational drugs.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, adding ivermectin could reduce skin toxicity and improve comfort and daily functioning for patients on daraxonrasib.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in related oncology settings have explored repurposed drugs for dermatologic toxicities, with mixed but promising signals; this exact combination is relatively novel.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with intent to daraxonrasib as standard of care monotherapy * Female or male aged 18 years and older at the time of enrollment. * Not pregnant and not nursing. * No active infection requiring parenteral antibiotic(s). * Patients have no intent to receive other anti-cancer therapy beyond daraxonrasib * No history of allergic reaction to the study agent(s), compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to the study agent(s) (or any of its excipients). * Patients who are able to understand and willing to sign the written informed consent form or patients who have impaired decision-making capacity but have a legally authorized representative who can consent on their behalf are eligible. A signed informed consent form must be appropriately obtained prior to the conduct of any trial-specific procedure. Exclusion Criteria: * Concurrent use of another investigational drug or device for the daraxonrasib-induced skin toxicity (i.e., outside of study treatment) during, or within 4 weeks of study treatment. * Patients receiving prednisone 10 mg/day or higher (or equivalent) at the time of randomization for indications other than daraxonrasib skin toxicity management. * Patients receiving tetracyclines, ivermectin or other systemic medication that could mask daraxonrasib rash development. * Pregnancy or planned pregnancy during the study period. * Documented allergy to oral ivermectin and / or minocycline * Any condition which, in the investigator's opinion, makes the patient unsuitable for trial participation.
