Relacorilant with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Official title: A Phase 2, Single-Arm Trial of Relacorilant in Combination With Nab-Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine in Chemotherapy-Naïve Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (TRIDENT)
Run by Corcept Therapeutics · NCT07259317 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether adding relacorilant to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine) helps people with previously untreated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with previously untreated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have measurable disease, ECOG performance status 0–1, adequate organ function, and can swallow oral medication.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have had recent systemic therapy for metastatic disease, have poor performance status (ECOG ≥2), or have uncontrolled medical issues are unlikely to benefit from this regimen.

What this trial studies
This single-arm Phase 2 study combines oral relacorilant with standard nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine chemotherapy given on a 28-day cycle. Relacorilant 150 mg is taken once daily for three consecutive days around each chemotherapy infusion, while nab-paclitaxel (100 mg/m2) and gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) are given on Days 1, 8, and 15. Patients continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other protocol-defined discontinuation. The study is designed to characterize safety and anti-tumor activity in patients with previously untreated metastatic PDAC.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this combination could make chemotherapy more effective and delay disease progression for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Using glucocorticoid receptor modulators like relacorilant with chemotherapy is a relatively new and experimental approach with limited clinical data in pancreatic cancer.
