phase ib/ii study of medi4736 evaluated in different combinations in metastatic pancreatic ductal carcinoma

Conditions: Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Summary: a phase ib and ii open-label, multi-center study of medi4736 evaluated in different combinations (with chemotherapy or azd5069) in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

this is a phase ib and ii open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of medi4736 in combination with chemotherapy or azd5069 in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (pdac). this study will consist of 2 independent cohorts.
