Lenvatinib + Pembrolizumab
for Pancreatic Cancer
This trial studies the effects of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed. Lenvatinib blocks proteins needed for cancer growth, and pembrolizumab boosts the immune system to attack the cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.

Gemcitabine + Leflunomide
for Pancreatic Cancer
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of leflunomide in combination with gemcitabine in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Improving the effectiveness of gemcitabine without increasing side effects could lead to a greater impact for pancreatic cancer patients' survival and quality of life. Gemcitabine is commonly used as a first-line chemotherapy treatment for pancreatic cancer. Leflunomide is a drug approved for use against rheumatoid arthritis that is being looked at as a cancer treatment option. It has shown promising results when combined with gemcitabine. Giving gemcitabine in combination with leflunomide may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer.
