A drug that is epigenetic therapy, which alters how DNA behaves, is being tested in a clinical trial for pancreatic cancer.
Targeting Cancer-Associated Wasting With Experimental Immunotherapy
Wasting, or cachexia, is the focus of a clinical trial testing a cachexia immunotherapy treatment combined with standard pancreatic cancer treatment.
Immunotherapy to Enhance Standard Chemotherapy for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers are testing an immunotherapy drug approved for other advanced cancers for effectiveness against pancreatic cancer.
Immunotherapy for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer and Other Solid Tumors
Researchers are testing the use of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, a type of immunotherapy, against advanced pancreatic cancer.
A New Drug to Target Cancer Cell Enzymes
Researchers are testing a drug that targets the enzymes that help generate energy for cell division, to disrupt pancreatic cancer cell multiplication.
