HRS-4642 with chemotherapy and immunotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer

Official title: A Phase IB/II Study To Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of HRS-4642 Combination With Other Antitumor Therapies in Patients With Solid Tumors

Run by Shanghai Hengrui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. · NCT07296341 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tries adding HRS-4642 to standard chemotherapy and/or an immune therapy to see if it helps people with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18–75 with histologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, ECOG 0–1, measurable disease, and available tumor tissue for testing.

Probably not a fit

Patients with untreated or active brain metastases, poor performance status (ECOG >1), inability to provide required tumor tissue, or who cannot tolerate chemotherapy are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter Phase II trial testing the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of HRS-4642 given in combination with other antitumor therapies in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Participants receive HRS-4642 combined with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel or combined with the anti‑PD‑L1 agent adebrelimab in randomized treatment arms. Eligible patients are adults 18–75 years old with ECOG 0–1, measurable disease per RECIST 1.1, and available tumor tissue. The trial's primary focus is on safety and tolerability, with secondary endpoints including tumor response and early efficacy signals.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, adding HRS-4642 could improve tumor control or extend survival compared with standard therapy alone for some patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Combining targeted agents with chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors has shown mixed results across cancers and to date has produced limited success in pancreatic cancer specifically.
