Enrollment opens for Phase 1b/2 Study Evaluating Ampligen® (rintatolimod) in Combination with Imfinzi® (durvalumab) for the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
Prof. Casper H.J. van Eijck, MD, PhD, the DURIPANC Study’s Coordinating Investigator and a pancreato-biliary surgeon at Erasmus MC, stated, “While immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD1/PDL1 have shown promise in other solid tumors, they have shown limited efficacy thus far in ductal cancer of the pancreas. Findings from our previous study collectively provide compelling evidence that rintatolimod treatment enhances the immune response by activating immune cells in advanced PDAC, as well as highlighting its potential synergy with ICI therapy. Therefore, we are excited about the promise of combining Ampligen with durvalumab in a clinical study and we believe this approach could make a positive impact in the current treatment landscape for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer and extend overall and progression free survival.”
