Data from a Phase 1b Study of Quemliclustat-Based Regimens Showed Promising Overall Survival in Treatment-Naïve Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
“A quemliclustat-based regimen appears to meaningfully prolong survival compared to what we typically observe in patients with mPDAC who receive chemotherapy alone, the standard of care for more than 30 years,” said Zev A. Wainberg, MD, MSc, Co-Director of the GI Oncology Program at University of California Los Angeles and a principal investigator of the ARC-8 trial. “CD73 is highly expressed on pancreatic cancer cells, and I am encouraged to see early evidence that inhibiting CD73 with a small molecule has the potential to improve outcomes for people with mPDAC, without an observed clinically meaningful increase in toxicity, when combined with standard of care chemotherapy relative to historical data for chemotherapy alone.”
