What this trial studies

This clinical trial is a single-center, prospective, open-label study aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of a combination treatment involving Bortezomib, the PD-1 monoclonal antibody Sindilizumab, and mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. The trial is divided into two phases: Phase 1 focuses on assessing drug tolerance and determining the appropriate dosage of Bortezomib, while Phase 2 aims to expand on these findings to evaluate the overall tolerability and efficacy of the treatment regimen. Additionally, the study will explore immunogenicity characteristics and potential biomarkers related to the combination therapy.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients with pathologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who have not received prior systemic treatment or have progressed after first-line chemotherapy.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of autoimmune diseases, recent chemotherapy, or those with certain health conditions may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer.

How similar studies have performed: While the combination of these specific treatments is novel, similar approaches in targeting metastatic pancreatic cancer have shown promise in other studies.
