Run by Chinese PLA General Hospital · NCT06782685 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new combination of treatments for advanced pancreatic cancer to see if it works better than another option for patients who haven't had success with their first treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 75 with advanced pancreatic cancer who have experienced failure of first-line therapy and meet specific health criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have previously received platinum-containing or irinotecan drugs for first-line therapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a combination treatment involving liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab compared to another regimen of liposomal irinotecan combined with 5-FU/LV in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The study is divided into two phases: Phase I focuses on determining the optimal dose combination, while Phase II assesses the effectiveness of the treatments based on historical data. The trial will involve a total of 138 participants, with a goal to improve the overall response rate from 8.8% to 25%. Participants must have previously failed first-line therapy and meet specific inclusion criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve outcomes for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who have limited options after first-line therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown varying success with similar treatment combinations, but this specific approach is being evaluated for the first time in this context.
