Summary
This trial is testing a new drug for pancreatic cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer that's worsened after standard therapy, or those who can't tolerate first-line treatments. They must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks and be able to use birth control. People with significant recent vascular disease, HIV/AIDS, ongoing treatment side effects (except certain conditions), psychiatric issues affecting compliance, untreated brain metastases, or known allergies to similar drugs are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests HCW9218 in two phases: an initial dose-escalation phase for patients not eligible for surgery due to advanced disease and a later expansion phase focused on those with distant metastatic disease only. It's an open-label trial where everyone knows what treatment they're getting.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of HCW9218 aren't listed here, Phase 1 trials often look out for any signs of toxicity such as nausea, fatigue, allergic reactions or more serious complications related to the drug being tested.
