Patients with pancreatic cancer who received the experimental drug elraglusib, alongside standard chemotherapy, were twice as likely to be alive after one year of treatment, compared to those receiving chemotherapy alone, according to the results of a randomized phase II clinical trial conducted by researchers at Northwestern University. The drug also reduced the risk of death by 38%.
The long-awaited results from the RASolute 302 trial—a phase III clinical trial evaluating daraxonrasib, a RAS inhibitor, for the treatment of patients with previously treated, metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma—have been read out.
