Zoldonrasib + daraxonrasib show 81% ORR in patients with RAS G12D metastatic pancreatic cancer, phase I/II study finds

Zoldonrasib, an oral RAS(ON) G12D-selective covalent inhibitor, in combination with daraxonrasib showed 81% objective response rate compared to zoldonrasib in combination with standard of care chemotherapy in previously untreated patients with RAS G12D metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, according to results of two phase I/II study.

Tumor-on-a-chip model shows how pancreatic cancer hijacks immune cells, UMiami study finds

A “tumor-on-a-chip” model is giving scientists a live look at how pancreatic cancer can recruit the body’s own immune cells to help tumors survive. The study reveals possible new targets to weaken the cancer’s defenses and make treatments work better.

TAMP procedure shows 52% reduction in pancreatic tumor metabolic activity, Moffitt case study shows

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have published a case study highlighting the potential optimization of the TAMP, or trans-arterial micro-perfusion, procedure with RenovoCath to deliver intra-arterial gemcitabine (a commonly used chemotherapy) directly near a tumor (rather than traditional systemic IV administration) in a patient with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Sylvester researchers discover method of disrupting inflammatory network that helps pancreatic cancer resist treatment

Blocking IL1RAP, a receptor that sits at a key control point in inflammatory signaling, can disrupt the tumor-driven inflammatory network that helps pancreatic cancer resist treatment, according to a study led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
